Magix (ex Sony) Sound Forge Pro topic
  • Fantastic: Soundforge now available on Mac! I swear by this on the PC. This has been for years my audio editor of choice and its great to be able to have this on OSX - it requires 64 bit OS (Lion and ML compatible only) and its one of the best mastering packages around. Shame there's no CD architect built in but Im sure Sony will furnish us with an update soon.

    Built on a clean slate for OS X, Sound Forge™ Pro Mac provides a contemporary application environment that’s perfect for recording, editing, processing, and rendering broadcast-quality audio master files. A fresh statement on audio editing software, Sound Forge Pro Mac includes a comprehensive suite of mastering, restoration, and repair tools for immediate results.

    With the loss of Bias Peak, the competition was getting thinner on the ground with only Adobe and Steinberg Wavelab to master audio to. Now with this release we have a decent tried and tested editor via the PC. Excellent!

  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev Yeah s'pose its old news! :-) I only just read it in 'Sound on Sound' magazine and wasnt sure if it had been mentioned here - I really hope they develop this package on the Mac. Been using it since it came out. :-)

    @subco Don't assinate it too early. I think it has FCPX syndrome. :-)
