Sound Forge Audio Studio 10 from Sony is a stereo audio editor that contains everything needed to edit and master professional-quality audio on a Windows based home computer. Record live instruments and vocals, sweeten and restore audio, apply studio-quality effects, and convert files quickly. Create karaoke tracks with the Vocal Eraser tool. And with a few simple steps, produce broadcast-quality audio.
Editing with the more than thirty native signal and effects processing plug-ins can energize and give audio tracks presence and sparkle. Balance sound levels, trim unwanted sections, and synchronize audio with video. Assemble a podcast or a DJ set. Or create loops to use with ACID Music Studio. Processes include compression, EQ, delay, chorus, reverb, and more, while VST plug-in support expands the choices even further.
The Vocal Eraser plug-in easily removes vocals from most recordings, or can be used to isolate and extract vocal tracks from songs for remixing. The plug-in contains presets for various genres and vocal types. An Audio Enhancer plug-in combines five processes that can enhance audio files to broadcast-quality standards with a single mouse click. User presets include settings for both music and dialog.
For those wanting to digitize their rare vinyl LP records and tapes, the enhanced Vinyl Recording and Restoration tool assists in the conversion process and even creates new files when it detects pauses. Adjust the start and end times of tracks, and fine-tune the master recordings before burning CDs, or converting to MP3 and other popular formats.
The software allows for both one track at a time, or disc-at-once CD burning with full control over pauses between tracks. It's also very easy to synchronize audio with video for video scoring. Import popular video formats including Windows Media, QuickTime, and more. In addition to the Show Me How tutorials, the software includes four in-depth videos that provide step-by-step instructions for CD creation, audio mastering, vinyl restoration, and podcast creation.
Included with Sound Forge Audio Studio software is the Sony Sound Series 1,001 Sound Effects collection, loaded with audio samples perfect for presentations, commercials, web sites, computer animations, and more.
