As the german software company explains, Sound Forge Pro 13 now comes with a fully-customizable interface that can be personalized to fit individual preferences and workflows. The UI can be adjusted in four color levels – White, Light, Medium and Dark – depending on differing environmental and lighting conditions. There's also a new icon design that provides a clearer interface, showing all important audio editing features at a glance.
The enhanced VST2/3 engine and ARA2 interface extension offer greater stability and speed when using plug-ins, and allow users to work faster and more precisely. And thanks to high-quality audio visualization tools, Sound Forge Pro 13 offers more possibilities when analyzing music, speech, and sounds, and displays them both graphically and dynamically. The new Peak Meter V2 allows reliable peak level measurement of digital audio signals according to international industry standards, and shows the precise, current level of an audio signal in real time.
Sound Forge Pro 13 also includes numerous new effects and plug-ins for mastering and cleaning audio files. The new coreFX mastering effects now include a 2-Point Compressor, Limiter, Expander, Compressor and Gate, allowing precise dynamic control with excellent audio quality. With the new coreFX delay effects – Delay, Chrorus and Flanger – accurate echo effects can be created. With version 13, users now get also the high-quality iZotope Ozone 8 Elements and RX 7 Elements plug-ins.
"With version 13, we have concentrated on the core strengths of Sound Forge Pro, and have once again addressed the needs and wishes of our users," says Thomas Wolf, Product Owner Sound Forge. "Sound Forge Pro delivers levels of efficiency and precision unheard of in any other audio editor. Improving the user experience and plug-in handling means that high-end audio productions can now be realized in no time."
