Record on up to 32 channels with premium 64-bit/384kHz quality. Process audio with high-quality audio restoration tools and a robust multiband compressor culled from Magix's flagship Sequoia software.

From basic 2-track editing to advanced surround-sound mastering, Sound Forge Pro gives you everything a media professional could ask for.

Mind-blowing recording workflow streamlines production

Thanks to its easy-to-use recording interface, the engineers here at Sweetwater find that Sound Forge Pro makes capturing audio as productive as possible. Adjust and monitor up to 32 channels of incoming audio, then arm, record, and review your work all in a single workspace. Sound Forge Pro also includes a fantastic Waveform Overview Bar to simplify file navigation and innovative recording options such as one-touch recording and schedule recording for automatic sound capture.

Advanced editing and processing tools for any task

Whether it's mono wave files or multichannel audio, Sound Forge Pro puts sample-accurate editing tools right at your fingertips. The comprehensive Event Tool splits, trims, fades, crossfades, slips, and otherwise manipulates audio throughout the timeline, without fumbling about for the proper function-specific tool. In addition to other advanced processing such as ACID loop creation, Sound Forge Pro includes round-trip workflows for integrating SpectraLayers Pro editing into your projects. And best of all, the editing environment in Sound Forge Pro is totally customizable.

DSP integration lets you get the most from your audio

To say there's quite a bit of native DSP in Sound Forge Pro is a bit of an understatement. From mastering to metering to noise reduction and time stretching, Magix packed it all into this awesome application. Version 12 includes all of the powerful plug-ins found in previous versions of Sound Forge Pro, along with three noise reduction plug-ins taken from Magix's flagship Sequoia software. Wave Hammer 2.0 is also included, supplying you with both a classic compressor and volume maximizer — your masters are sure to sound better than ever! You also get real iZotope algorithms at your command, along with VST3 compatibility, giving you access to a vast array of third-party plug-ins.
