(Sound Forge Pro 12 is expected to roll out in 2018.) Both are advanced, multichannel audio editors, dedicated to editing, processing, and mastering individual audio files, as opposed to a DAW application, which is designed for mixing.Īlthough Magix’s other products are PC-centric, they’ve done a good job embracing and improving the Mac products.


I recently tested Sound Forge Pro Mac 3, which is the macOS companion to Sound Forge Pro 11 on the Windows side. Sony, in turn, sold off those products to German software developer Magix, where they appear to have found a good home. Originally part of Sonic Foundry’s software development, the product, along with its siblings Vegas Pro and Acid, migrated to Sony Creative Software. There are plenty of modern tools that deal with audio, but sometimes you need a product with a very narrow focus to do the job without compromise.
