![]() There’s all the things you’d expect: fades, normalization, reverse, time stretching and so on. As noted, audio files are recorded into tabs and for each file you get a bunch of tools and processes that can be performed either on entire files or selections. ![]() It records audio in stereo or mono at 32-bit / up to 384kHz rate and this new version is based on a 64-bit architecture to take advantage of recent PC technology. What you get is essentially the core audio recording and editing features of higher priced applications like Wavelab but without the advanced tools and without multitracking. It’s also not especially slick to look at, with an old school Windows style although this doesn’t affect its usability at all. It’s not a multitracker, and though you can record multiple files and open them in tabs, cutting up and pasting parts of files into other tabs, you’ll be working on a stereo file at a time, which isn’t uncommon in wave editor world. Something that needs to be said upfront is that it deals with mono or stereo recordings and files, one at a time. The application itself installs easily and has a pretty small footprint by modern standards. There’s been a bit of an arms race over the last decade in terms of resource usage, so it’s actually a nice to change to see an app that’s not burning RAM faster than you can throw it. There are plenty of people out there on older or lower spec PCs that can’t run heavyweight applications but still need to do things like recording podcasts, cleaning up vinyl recordings and the like. ![]() ![]() But in truth, not everyone needs all the bells and whistles of Logic Pro or Ableton Suite, and not everyone wants to pay for features they won’t use. ![]() When I saw the system requirements I had to do a double take – a 1.4GHz processor and 512MB of RAM seems incredibly low when most people are now used to top-end mega-DAWs most of the time. It’s a relatively simple wave editor that’s geared towards recording, editing and processing stereo audio rather than multitrack projects. SOUND FORGE Pro for Windows is the “full” version with the longest history, and this version, Audio Studio 12, is the more affordable sibling. The Mac version is a separate product, recently built from scratch and bearing little resemblance to its PC counterparts. SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 12 is the entry-level version of the Sound Forge family, which spans Mac and PC platforms but actually exists rather differently on each. ![]()
