REVIEW SOUND FORGE PRO 10

WELCOME TO MY BLOG,,Where other recording studio software programs place most of their focus on recording, modifying and arranging, Sony Sound Forge places an equal emphasis on editing tasks such as restoring audio, reducing noise, repairing sound quality and refining tracks as a whole. Though its user interface is less visually oriented than other Recording Studio software programs like Reason, it is well organized and intuitive enough that its visual simplicity does not impact its overall performance and the quality of its finished tracks. However, while Sony Sound Forge’s strengths are apparent in the beginning and final stages of the recording process in inputting, converting, editing, refining and restoring, it lacks many of the tools and features necessary to give users the creative input and control in the middle stages of advanced composition, manipulation and modification.

Standout Features

Among Sony Sound Forge’s standout features include:
Disc-at-Once CD Recording
Stereo and multichannel recording
DTMF/MF tone synthesis
Wide-spread video support
Batch Conversion Functionality.

Every musician and technician has their own method for recording, modifying and editing. Whether it’s in the audio file formats they use, their preference for recording in multichannel or stereo or even what form-granular or wave form-they prefer to view their tracks in. Fortunately, Sony Sound Forge offers a versatile program compatible with most audio file formats (as well as many video formats), capable of being used for both multichannel and stereo recording and gives users several tools to make precise changes and alterations to tracks at various levels of scrutiny.

With its DTMF/MF tone synthesis tools, Sony Sound Forge can synthesis complex patches of audio information without significantly reducing the quality and integrity of the comprising audio elements, making for clean, high-fidelity conversions to other file types, or for recording to CD with Sony Sound Forge’s Disc-at-Once CD recording, which allows users to record tracks instantaneously.

As mentioned before, many of Sony Sound Forge’s Strengths are in its editing features and tools, which can be used in parallel with video editing tools to provide scores and soundtracks for video and other multimedia. They can also be used, with the proper hardware, to restore vinyl and cassette audio and batch convert them to a number of audio file formats using the batch conversion tool.

However, while Sony Sound Forge forges ahead with its editing and restoration features, it falls behind in its composition and modification tools.

Sony Sound Forge Performance

When operated using the basic recommended specs, Sony Sound Forge runs with little latency; though, its real-time waveform sample editor required computer specs that exceeded the basic requirements. Where its strengths lie in editing songs that are more or less intact, this might not be such a drawback. But, for those looking for a more complete digital audio workstation, this can be quite an obstacle. Nevertheless, with up to 64-bits of audio support, it might be a risk worth taking, given the right computer hardware.
