What is Sound Forge Audio Studio

Audio Forge Sound Studio is an audio editing program from Sony that gives you the power to make professional quality audio tracks right on your desktop computer.

Audio Forge Sound Studio gives you a huge range of editing tools and features. With Audio Forge, you can restore audio, burn CDs, create podcasts, make karaoke tracks with the Vocal Eraser plug in, convert files, synchronize audio tracks with video tracks and capture audio from any source including old records and tapes.

You can work with audio tracks you already have or capture sound from your instrument, meaning that you can turn your desktop computer into a recording studio! The recording features will capture sound up to a resolution of 24 bits / 192 kHz. Considering you can easily burn tracks to a CD, Audio Forge Sound Studio gives you the power to produce your own album in minutes.

Audio Forge Sound Studio gives you the ability to customize your audio with over a thousand studio quality effects including EQ, delay, chorus and reverb. You no longer have to be a professional sound editor to make professional sounding audio. Despite being super powerful, the interface is intuitive, user-friendly and easy to learn. Editing tools allow you to mix tracks, balance sound levels and create custom fades, all with a drag-and-drop mechanic.

Audio Forge Sound Studio also includes the exclusive Audio Enhancer plug-in from iZotope, a one step audio processing tool that combines five audio editing processes into a single click. Edit the user presets and enhance your audio to broadcast quality standards with one click!

Considering how powerful this program is, Sony has made it exceptionally accessible for the lay person. You do not have to be a professional to use all the tools, but a professional will appreciate the functionality. The “Show Me How” tools are easy to find and will walk you through how to use various aspects of the program.

Audio Forge Sound Studio also happens to be available in many languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Polish and Russian.

Audio Forge Sound Studio is a professional program that can do a lot. It would be great for anybody with an interest in sound editing, audio restoration, karaoke, producing or recording music or with any sort of music interest in general.

The only real con we can see is that the full version costs $59.95. Not that we expect everything to be free, but that wouldn’t hurt. We really can’t find anything else that we would improve on Audio Forge Sound Studio, and $60 is actually really cheap considering how powerful the program is. In fact, if you think about how much recording studios charge per hour, $60 is ridiculously cheap!
