Sound Forge Pro Mac from Sony is a digital audio editor that has been rebuilt for the Mac OS X environment and provides a contemporary application that's perfect for recording, editing, processing, and rendering broadcast-quality audio master files. The software features a streamlined user interface with configurable viewing panels that allow for toggling to any view of the project in seconds, from the entire workflow, or just a specific area, even on laptops.
Assigning hardware, metering input signals, arming tracks, and recording high-resolution, multi-channel audio is a simple and fluid process while bringing audio into a computer - up to thirty-two simultaneous channels at 64-bit/192 kHz resolution. In addition to native processes that include everything from EQ to dynamics, channel conversion and normalizing, the program also includes specialized tools for carrying out repair and restoration tasks on audio files. Powered by iZotope, these plug-ins are configurable, and easy-to-use.

- User Interface
-
Editor Panels- Two discrete audio editor panels, each with their own overview bars, file tabs, and transport controls
- View the panels stacked or side-by-side, and drag tabbed files between them for editing
Regions- Fast, sample-accurate access to numerous locations within audio files, and easy ways to define, label, edit, and export regions
- Drop and name markers, create regions from selections, subdivide regions, loop region playback, and fine tune selections
- Access the Regions List tool for list-based auditioning and fine tuning
Event-Based Editing- Allows you to divide a sound file into any number of independent sections that can be arranged and rearranged on the timeline
- Manually or automatically create events, then move, split, copy and paste, fade, crossfade, and slip/trim event contents to achieve complex edits
- Engage legacy Sound Forge event-based editing for effortless sequencing of audio on the timeline
Pencil Mode- Zoom in, enable Pencil Mode, and easily make microscopic waveform alterations
- Great for fixing digital glitches and other unwanted artifacts
Time Formats- Perform sample-accurate audio file editing in a wide range of industry-standard time formats
Summary Information, File Properties, Statistics Tools- Easily view, edit, and apply file metadata
- The Summary Information tool displays file metadata - select a field and enter the information of your choice
- The File Properties and Statistics tools display all the important attributes of your sound files and the selections within them
- Processing Power
-
Normalize- Accomplish standard peak level normalization, or modify an audio file's dynamics directly using average RMS level normalization - great for matching the apparent loudness of different recordings
Zplane élastique Timestretch- Time-stretching engine that offers high quality, making stretching artifacts obsolete
- Based on state-of-the-art psychoacoustic models and signal-processing theory, the result is stable timing, inter-channel phase coherence, and sample-accurate stretching
- Achieve formant-preserving pitch shifting that avoids the pitfalls that can occur when pitching up or down
- Choose from various stretching methods that are tailored to your source audio, including Pro, Soloist, and Efficient modes
- Monitor and adjust settings while previewing
Synthesis- Synthesis plug-in generates basic waveforms and noise
Channel Converter- Change the number of channels in an audio file, reverse the channels of a stereo file or intermix the channels of a multichannel file to create panning scenarios
iZotope 64-bit SRC (Sample Rate Conversion)- Necessary process when converting material from one sampling rate (such as 192 kHz) to another rate (such as 44.1 kHz)
- Protects against the loss of data, aliasing, noise, and unwanted ringing artifacts, utilizing a hybrid low-pass filter along with ringing control
Fades- Precise control over audio heads and tails with five different fade types
Other Processors- Mute, reverse, volume, mix
- Mix clipboard contents into a sound file, applying custom crossfades and adjusting both source and destination volume levels along the way
iZotope MBIT+ Dither (Bit Depth Conversion)- Dither 24-bit or higher audio tracks to 16-bit without losing quality or introducing undesirable quantization distortion
- Employs psychoacoustic methods to distribute the noise into less audible ranges, resulting in improved sound and smoother fades
- Specifically designed for musical program material - MBIT+ models use real music and not test tones, resulting in musical and sonically pleasing processing
Invert / Flip- Reverse the phase of sound files
- Restore and Repair
-
Declicker- Identifies and removes clicks, pops and digital impulse noises.
- Set the fader to the sensitivity level you need, then count the number of clicks that are identified and repaired over time as your audio file plays
Denoiser- Easily perform noiseprint-based noise reduction
- Click the Learn button while playing a random sample of unwanted noise contained in the target file and the processor does the rest, applying a customized noise-reduction process across the entire selection
Declipper- Reconstructs peaks damaged by clipping at either the analog or digital stage
- Use the level histogram to pinpoint where the damage starts
- Set the Clipping Threshold to determine where peak re-synthesis will begin
- Mastering Audio
-
Mastering EQ- Six-band parametric equalizer featuring four bell filters, a high shelving filter, and a low shelving filter
- Incorporates digital precision and analog modeling, as well as real-time spectrum analysis for essential visual feedback while adjusting parameters
Multiband Compressor- Adds warmth and fullness to mixes
- Allows independent control over the dynamics of four frequency bands, and adjustable crossover points let you fine tune the range of each band
- Real-time spectrum analyzer shows each frequency band in its own color, in addition to the combined spectrum of all bands
Mastering Imager- Precisely adjust the stereo width and focus of your master
- Work with up to four frequency bands for independent control over stereo width by frequency
- Visualize the stereo image with a phase/channel meter display that highlights imaging, phase and potential canceling problems
Mastering Reverb- Reverb designed to add depth to dull mixes and smooth over acoustic imperfections
- Features two processing algorithms, plate and room, and a real-time spectrum analyzer
Mastering Limiter- Create louder and fuller masters by limiting the dynamic range and boosting the perceived overall level of the mix
- IRC (Intelligent Release Control) lets you dial in both aggressive and transparent limiting, and a histogram meter helps you fine tune the effect for the best results
Harmonic Exciter- Add analog character to your masters
- With a selection of Harmonic Exciter modes, you can easily add tube or tape saturation, accentuate even harmonics, and add punch or sparkle to your project
- Multiband and mid/side modes give you a huge range of sonic possibilities
