Magix Releases Sound Forge Pro 13 with Redesigned Interface, New VST Engine and ARA2 Support

For over 25 years, Sound Forge Pro has been an industry-leading professional software for recording, audio editing and mastering. With this latest version 13, Berlin-based Magix presents a comprehensive update specifically designed to meet current requirements of professional audio producers, updating the code for more stability, efficiency and speed. The all-new Sound Forge Pro 13 has a redesigned interface, delivers a new VST engine and ARA2 support for greater plug-in speed and stability, and adds a host of professional effects.

Following the acquisition of Sony Creative Software (SCS) products by Magix Software GmbH, the German software house has kept its promise to maintain and revitalize popular audio editing and music production applications Sound Forge Pro and ACID Pro. In August 2017 Magix released version 12 of Sound Forge Pro, and now announced the release of the new ACID Pro 8 on April 23, 2018, featuring more power and plug-ins, a new user interface and improved accessibility.

German software powerhouse MAGIX continues to expand its catalog of audio recording and editing solutions, targeting both casual users as well as top studios and professionals. MAGIX announced the release of Sound Forge Audio Studio 12, a stereo version of the famous multitrack software, introducing a new look, new functionality, new edit modes, new plug-ins, new meters, and much more, all for only $59.99.

Promising a bright future for the entire Sound Forge Line, German software company MAGIX confirmed it is committed to release upgrades to this popular family of audio editing software products. Currently under development by engineering teams in the US and Germany, new upgrades will arrive in May 2017, with upgrades for the entire line slated for completion within the next 12 months.

A popular tool for musicians for over 20 years, MAGIX's Music Maker is now available for free for the first time. This is a complete audio recording and production software, with all the tools needed to create and share music, now in a fully-functional version completely free and ready for download at magix.com. Why are they doing this? Because that way MAGIX will be to sell built-in expansion options and upgrades to an expanded user base.

German software house MAGIX Software GmbH announced it is acquiring a majority of the Sony Creative Software (SCS) products, including the popular audio editing and music production applications Sound Forge Pro and ACID Pro.
