Currently I am using SF Pro 16 and many aspects have been improved with added features. I have been using Sound Forge for a while and it keeps on getting better and better with the newer versions/upgrades. But there are a lot of tutorials online to help with that.Ĭomments: SF is very complete in many ways as there are many tools sufficiently provided to handle any audio editing task. Equally, Mixing can be challenging, especially if one is not familiar with the process. It can also be difficult for me to know which effects to use and how to use them effectively, as there are many possibilities and it can be easy to overdo it. The quality of recordings made using the recording tool may depend on the hardware and settings being used. Like many other softwares, There are some drawbacks to using Sound Forge that I have encountered. Mixing is another important feature that allows me to balance the levels of different tracks and create a cohesive final mix. Additionally, there are also many effects that I can use to shape the sound of my tracks and add depth to my mix. The recording tool is easy to use and allows me to capture audio from various sources. It is versatile and can be used for music production and audio for video. I have found Sound Forge to be a very useful audio editing software for a variety of tasks. After I have done the export (mix) from Sonar I open the file in SoundForge, trim and fade both ends, resample to 44.1 if needed, bit reduce with dither to 16bit, and it's finished.Comments: Overall, I have had a positive experience with Sound Forge and would recommend it to others who are looking for an audio editing software. What I do most with SoundForge is my final mastering. With SoundForge you can repair the clip for good. The only thing I can think of is maybe using sample level editing to take out a click or pop when the clip gain envelope can't mute it without causing a glitch. However, destructive editing of clips is not something most folks really need to do. For example if you have a selection within a clip in Sonar then the pull down the tools menu and select SoundForge the clip will open in SoundForge and you will automatically be zoomed in right to the spot of the selection you make in Sonar. SoundForge is not a plugin or anything like that.

Is their a benefit in having soundforge, Wavelab or peak pro in addition to sonar 8? And if so which one would have the most features? I often hear people say they rewire audio editing apps to their main DAW.
