I ended up a rather muffled sounding voice recording. Together with, for example, iZotope’s also included Nektar Elements, Sound Forge Pro Mac 3 has become a really good sound editor for video and film.Īs part of the review, I decided to record a short monologue with a GoPro HERO5 connected to a Shogun Flame. Unfortunately, the previous version of the app would often crash when in event mode. That mode allows you to mix the audio, replace it, nudge it into place, etc. For example, if you have an interview with different retakes, cutting parts from a retake to the main “master” file places you in event mode. You enter the event-based mode as soon as you drag part of your audio to another location within the file or across open files. The strength of editing with Sound Forge Pro Mac has been its event-based editing paradigm. Some tools and plug-ins won’t work with more than two channels, though, which may be a problem with multi-channel recordings, eg. It will take a while for some audio streams to finish loading, but once it has, Sound Forge Pro’s many tools, plug-ins, plug-in chains and export formats are all at your disposal. Vide files can be dragged to Sound Forge Pro Mac 3 after which the app will automatically load only the audio component. I haven’t tested them all, but the ones mentioned here worked great. The best news of all is that you can load a great many video file formats, including MOV, MP4, XAVC, XDCAM, AVCHD and others. Sound Forge Pro Mac finally becomes the sound editor with the ability to load audio streams of video files.

But, luckily for us, Magix Audio didn’t simply stop there. The easiest update Magix has made to Sound Forge Pro Mac 3 must be the inclusion of iZotope’s newest RX 6 Elements and Ozone 7 plug-ins. Happily, the first upgrade of the $299 sound editor by its new owners hits the mark.
