Magix essentialFX Suite offers 11 quality effect plug-ins

Magix rounds out the apps arsonal by including the essentialFX Suite, Analogue Modelling Suite (4 mastering plug-ins), Vintage Effects Suite (3 vintage effects), VariVerb II, and Vandal (guitar amp effects). The detailed waveform coloring algorithm allows you to identify pitch and volume characteristics according to their color and saturation. Another strong feature is the Windows context menu, which allows you to get basic tasks done by right-clicking the context menu without even opening Sound Forge Pro.Īnother strong feature new to SF version 14 is WaveColor. It’s a simpler version of Macros for Microsoft Excel – but for audio. To compliment features like Instant Action, there is also a new Windows context menu to help make task assignments easier. Instant Action buttons (to the left) make mutli-window processes much simpler. Apply delay, compression, noise gates, and even external effects like Ozone 9 Elements – which comes bundled with the Pro Suite version of Sound Forge. Frequently used functions are seconds away with Instant Action, which puts all of your essential tools and functions a click away. This improves the speed it takes to complete tasks, making light work out of what used to be tedious processes in earlier versions. Sound Forge also has the ability to clean up “older” audio recordings, digitally remastering analog mixes with indispensable restoration features.Īside from the ability to record up to 32 channels of audio recording, Sound Forge includes a new Instant Action window to accomplish mutli-window workflows with the press of a button. Instead, Sound Forge’s strengths lie in mastering stereo mixes, cleaning up artifacts from field recordings, or applying creative edits to individual tracks from larger DAW sessions – utilizing Sound Forge as an external audio editor.

It differs from Digital Audio Workstations like Cubase, Pro Tools, and Studio One in the way that focuses on a single audio file at-a-time – there’s no MIDI production and editing here. Sound Forge is a professional audio recording, audio editing, and mastering suite.
