High resolution audio

Thanks to the completely redesigned recording interface, SOUND FORGE Pro 12 makes capturing audio super productive. Adjust and monitor up to 32 channels of incoming audio, then arm, record, and review your work all in a single workspace. The Waveform Overview Bar streamlines your recordings with easy file navigation and scheduled recording for automatic sound capture.

For many veteran users, one-touch recording is a welcomed addition. With this latest version, you push record and stay on the main screen and everything is handled within the same workspace. This is a major time-saver and workflow improvement.

With SOUND FORGE Pro 12, you are now able to import and export Direct Stream Digital (DSD) audio files. This allows you to step into the high-end audiophile market and use compatible equipment like the Tascam DA-3000 or TEAC UD-501. Record and mix in PCM format and export to DSD format for Super Audio CDs (SACD) mastering and high quality archiving.

You can set up recording to begin automatically from the selected input device by detecting when audio exceeds a set threshold. This is an easy way to record yourself without the need of remote controlling the control room while you're in the booth.

Just choose Trigger from MIDI Timecode if you want to trigger playback or recording by receiving timecode from another device. When this option is selected, dialogs that specify MIDI triggers will also accept input from the MIDI input port, allowing easy entry of MIDI note and controller values.

Set up your recordings to begin automatically from multiple selected input devices using a timer. You can also use the manual record button to begin recording and the automatic settings will then determine when the recording should end.

DeHisser eliminates regular, low-level "white" noise that is typically produced by microphones, pre-amplifiers, or transformers. Unlike during noise reduction, a sample of the distortion is not required.

Declicker restores old vinyl and other phonograph recordings that are riddled with individual clicks and pops, and a variety of short impulse noises from other sources like digital errors. Decrackler removes a more continuous stream of irregularities (crackles) in your audio that become blended together at lower amplitude levels.

Declipper repairs digital and analog clipping artifacts that result when A/D converters are pushed too hard or magnetic tape is over-saturated. This can rescue your recordings of live concerts or interviews that cannot be re-recorded.

Has the flattest frequency spectrum in the audible range of frequencies. Recommended for less stereophonically complex material such as solo instruments and voice.

Has a psychoacoustically optimized low order noise shaping curve. Recommended for material of greater stereophonic complexity.

Has a psychoacoustically optimized high order noise shaping curve. Recommended for full-spectrum, wide-stereo field material.

Disc-at-Once burning is the most common burning method used in the music industry. This writing mode is used when creating a master disc to be sent to a disc manufacturer for mass replication. Multiple tracks of audio are written to the CD, or add track markers to a single-file recording of a live set and burn a gapless, disc-at-once, Redbook standard audio CD.

Channel Converter tool supports multichannel formats. Change the number of channels in an audio file, reverse the channels of a stereo file or inter-mix the channels of a multichannel file to create panning scenarios.

Clipped peak detection and marking automatically scans files and marks clipped peaks. This gives you an idea of where the most noticeable and dangerous clipping points are to clean up and restore.

Ecox is an inspiring plugin for emulating realistic tape echo sounds. You can authentically reproduce the sound when different tape speeds were used to change the delay, with tracking fluctuations and the loss of highs during each tape feedback.

This filter is designed to control the frequency response of a modulation source. You can now create the characteristic analog sound and internal over-modulation. The interaction between the cut-off frequency and resonance makes your synthesizer sweeps or creative drum loop distortions sound un-digital.

Corvex produces an elegant tapestry of variations between analog-style chorus and flanger effects that goes beyond standard concepts. Add amazing acoustic depth to your instruments, make them sound fuller or create the illusion that a sound is multi-layered.

The Batch Converter lets you apply the same effects and processes to multiple files, saving hours of editing and conversion time. You simply add a group of files to the Batch Converter interface, select an effect or process and run the script. You can also save and easily recall your most frequently used batch scripts for a productive workflow.

Mastering Wizard enables quick and easy masters of your audio to be created to give it a professional edge. The software guides you through a typical mastering process and the different effects used each time. It even includes different presets that you can try out, or simply use your own settings to change levels, compress or EQ for perfect results.

Cleaning Wizard is an indispensable tool to help you remove noise and other artefacts from your audio. It guides you through a typical cleaning process and the tools used so that you can quickly and easily reduce hum, pops and crackles. It is a one-stop utility for cleaner audio and an ideal tool to help you get pristine-quality audio.
