Sony have finally stepped up and introduced a completely new, native Mac OS X version of their popular audio editor, Sound Forge Pro. Sure, we hoped for it.. but how does the Mac version measure up?
The Mac OS has always has its fair share of industry-leading DAWs and music applications. Many consider it the platform for us audio types. However, until recently, it was missing one of the most highly acclaimed audio editors: Sound Forge. In truth, when I was first given a tour of Sony’s flagship audio editor back in the days of Windows XP, I was green with envy. As much as I enjoyed using Soundtrack Pro (now unavailable), and tinkering in BIAS Peak (also gone the way of the dodo), I recognized that Sony had created something special.

So, there was with much waving of arms and general cheering within the Mac community when Sony recently announced the arrival of Sound Forge Pro for Mac. I was initially tentative as many apps ported from Windows just don’t behave in the same way as native Mac apps. Fortunately, Sony has created Sound Forge for Mac from scratch, and not only does this give it an integrated Mac OS X GUI, the speed and feel of the app makes it a pleasure to use.
A simple, and fairly speedy, download was pretty much all that was required. The complete app weighs in at under 200 MB, and once downloaded you’re instructed to simply drop it into your Applications folder, and enter the serial number once you’ve launched it. All in all a painless process.
The interface is clean, uncluttered and split into re-sizable panes, perfect for editing audio without extra distractions, or bells and whistles (yes, I’m pointing an accusing finger at a number of DAWs). Over on the left is the Media Browser which can be hidden away using the disclosure arrow. Of note is a favorites section. Simply Right-click on an audio file and choose to add to your favorites to find it quickly in the future. The search field makes finding audio files a simple task.. and of course you can preview any files in the browser by clicking on the play button next to its name.
SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 12 allows you to play and edit audio files recorded with your linear PCM recorder, imported from an audio CD, downloaded from a website or copied from your computer. You can also burn an audio CD and enjoy a variety of features available in SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 12. 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.

The central area is taken up by the wave editor. This can be set up to display multiple editors either along the horizontal or vertical axis as desired. A nice touch. The right pane contains usefully colored level meters, plug-in chain and chooser, where you can choose from a number of effect plug-ins, including the included iZotope Mastering and Repair Suite. You can access all your own AUs and VSTs very easily too. Plug-in interfaces can be opened by clicking the gear icon and you can also choose to view an envelope for each parameter of your plug-in. More on that later.
The bottom central Pane can be customized to display a host of info as well as nice large recording level meter. It’s simple enough to select your input audio device from here too. The Transport and Tools selection areas are fairly self-explanatory for anyone who has used any audio application before. Don’t be fooled by the clean and tidy interface, as there are a number of useful panels and options neatly stored within a click or two, but hidden away to help you concentrate on the most important tasks, namely recording and editing!
When it gets down to the nitty gritty, Sound Forge Pro is a very capable editor. You can quickly record single or multiple tracks, and of course edit them quickly. I particularly enjoyed having quick access to sections of an audio file by inserting Regions by hitting “R†on the keyboard. This essentially creates two markers either side of a selection. Then clicking on the Region number in the Regions list will engage that selection. A great way of being able to quickly define and navigate to important sections of dialogue.
Sound Forge for PC users will likely be familiar with the Envelope mode. It’s straightforward to adjust plug-in parameters over time (e.g. lower gain) by selecting the parameter in the right-hand pane, enabling the envelope, and then drawing directly in the waveform editor. Each level of automation can also be bypassed with a single click in the same area. Very neat. Right-clicking on an envelope segment allows you to change the fade type, flip the automation envelope and more. It's also possible to cut, copy and paste envelopes too.
Considering that Sound Forge Pro has been completely re-written for Mac and is less expensive than its Windows counterpart, Sound Forge Pro 10, it may come as no surprise there are some differences. I was hoping to be able to assign custom keyboard shortcuts to menu commands, but as yet this is not possible. Importing video is not yet supported, and batch editing is also not possible, yet. The later is something I’d love to see Sony introduce soon. Being able to batch edit multiple files would surely be welcomed by many Mac based musicians and audio editors. I also missed the “Repeat†command, which is very handy to repeat the last process via a shortcut key.

Of course, this is just the beginning for Sound Forge for Mac and, considering there have already been a couple of updates with bug fixes and new features added, I am quietly confident that the above features will be added in future updates.
Sound Forge Pro is likely to comfortably fill the void of audio editing apps in the Mac community. That it is less expensive than its Windows cousin is an unusual bonus, and that there are some features not yet implemented might put off some users. But there’s plenty to like here. Overall, Sound Forge Pro is a very capable and quick multi-track audio editor. It’s complimented by a clean and easy to navigate interface which can be easily customised to suit whatever task you wish to perform. If you’re in the market for an audio editor Sony’s Sound Forge Pro for Mac deserves a closer look.

Middleton, WI (September 7, 2012)—Sony Creative Software has released Sound Forge Pro Mac 1.0, a multichannel audio recording and editing application, shipping with a suite of audio mastering and repair plug-ins.
“People who work on audio editing platforms recognize the need for a fresh option in the marketplace, one that’s built for OS X as opposed to something that’s simply been ported over. In addition, it’s no secret that cross-platform professionals have been demanding Sound Forge for the Mac for years,” said Dave Chaimson, vice president of global marketing for Sony Creative Software. “Our response is Sound Forge Pro Mac, a truly contemporary OS X design. Producers will appreciate its simple elegance, uncluttered look and amazing flexibility. The included suite of mastering and repair plug-ins makes this 1.0 edition a value-packed editing powerhouse right out of the box. Sound Forge Pro Mac is our second major OS X application release this year, and we’re pleased to now be very actively engaged in application development for the Mac platform.”

The software features a new user interface designed specifically for OS X, built around dedicated viewing panels for recording, monitoring, editing, applying plug-in processing and browsing for content. As a result, users toggle between features to view only the windows needed during a particular editing task. Not everything has changed from the PC rendition of Sound Forge—it still has what is described as “legacy Sound Forge event-based editing” in the timeline.
Recording resolution can go up to 64-bit /192 kHz, and the software can record up to 32 simultaneous channels. Sony is playing up the mastering features of the software, stating that they provide “one-stop,” “broadcast-ready” audio master files. Key to its mastering efforts are a “Plug-in Chainer design” and an included Mastering Effects Bundle by iZotope, featuring six audio mastering plug-ins: EQ, Multiband Compressor, Exciter, Imager, Limiter and Reverb. Also on hand are a Zplane élastique Pro time-stretching and pitch-shifting plug-in; iZotope 64-bit SRC (sample rate conversion) and MBIT+ dither (bit depth conversion); and support for AU and VST plug-ins for both offline and non-destructive processing. Finally, there are various restore and repair tools on board, including iZotope exclusives for the software that include a declicker, denoiser and declipper.
