A Powerful Audio Editor
Cut, paste, mix, crossfade, and delete audio with unparalleled
speed and accuracy. Edit files in real-time at the sample
level and work on one file while processing others in
the background. Use the new scrub tool to quickly and
easily find areas in your audio file. Sound Forge 8
also supports JKL keyboard commands for shuttle control
to quickly find sections.
Professional Audio Recording
Sound Forge software provides the ultimate set of tools
for recording audio. Record straight into your computer
via your sound card and use the Record Timer to begin
and end a session at a specific time and date. You can
also start recording when a certain audio threshold
is reached with Threshold Record Triggering. New in
Sound Forge 8 software is low-latency ASIO™ driver
support — providing faster, professional results,
and support of additional sound cards.
Pristine Audio Quality
Sound Forge software supports full resolution 24-bit/32-bit
192 kHz files for the ultimate in audio fidelity. Capture
the subtle overtones and nuances of instruments, vocals,
and effect changes that 24-bit audio provides. With
Sound Forge software you can import, save, and even
record to this resolution if your hardware supports
it.
Professional Audio Effects
Apply over 40 professional studio effects and processes
including Volume, EQ, Delay, Chorus, Dynamics, Noise
Gate, Pitch Shift, Flange, Vibrato, and more. Chain
multiple effects together and apply them to selections
or entire files using the Plug-in Chainer. Sound Forge
8 software also supports DirectX and VST effects, including
parameter automation to expand the number of effects
you can apply to audio — increasing your mastering
flexibility.
Extensive Video Support
Sound Forge software supports multiple video formats
including AVI, WMV, and MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.* Synchronize
audio and video frame-by-frame. Import Flash (SWF) files†
to visually synchronize your audio to your project.
Includes new MPEG-2 templates for writing HDV-compliant
files at both 720p and 1080i resolutions, and AVI templates
using the CineForm CFHD codec* for 720p and 1080i intermediate
renders. Also included are templates for encoding WMV
720p and 1080p.
ACID Loop Creation Tools
Create your own music loops for use in ACID software.
Create one-shots, loops, and Beatmapped tracks. Using
the ACID Loop Creation Toolbar you can display and edit
ACID .wav file properties including tempo and root note,
finely edit audio clips and shift selections to get
the sound you want. When you create a loop, the information
you set is embedded in the file, so your loops will
change tempo and pitch-shift along with your ACID project.
Audio Restoration Tools
Sound Forge software automatically scans sections of
your file and marks sample peaks that are clipping for
easy fixing. Use the Vinyl Restoration noise reduction
tool to easily remove clicks, pops, and other noise
from your recordings. |
