"I think Sound Forge is an excellent tool!"
4/5
What do you like best about Sound Forge?

It is easy to use and is very good at cleaning up bad sound or poor audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sound Forge?

The only reason I don't use it is that Adobe's Audition has a tighter integration with my main video editing application, Premiere Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"With help of markers and hotkeys function, it's easy to edit your audio with sound forge."
4/5
What do you like best about Sound Forge?

Markers and hotkeys are the significant functions of the sound forge. One's you learned hotkey features, you can perform many tasks related to audio editing and mastering. You can remove the click and pop sound without affecting the complete track. Sound forge excellently organized your plugins. So you can save all your most-used plugins in one folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sound Forge?

With all advantages that sound forge has offered, there is some disappointment. During batch audio processing, you are not able to hear the effect chain. It takes a long time to import or export the long audio file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Audio Editing Software"
4/5
What do you like best about Sound Forge?

Sound Forge Pro fully supports 24-bit audio resolution to capture the subtle nuances of sound, with 32-bit / 64-bit floats at 192 kHz files, and recording from 24-bit hardware. Version 10 adds tools from iZotope for high-quality processing, with Mbit + Dither for bit-depth conversion (for example, truncating from 24- 16-bit), 64-Bit SRC for sample rate conversion (for example, downsampling from 192 kHz to 44.1 kHz CD -quality), and Mastering Effects Bundle 2 with six professional audio plug-ins at 64-bit precision, including EQ, reverb, compressor, boost limiter, imager and stereo width, and analog exciter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sound Forge?

Can better describe the purpose and target use of the tools. Field effects do not include autotune / field corrections. Spectrum analysis window can view but not edit audio. Limited integration with Vegas and ACID (edit source project). The price in my opinion is too expensive for people like students. Sometimes it takes extra ram to process the audio in this software. And then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Audio Editing Software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sound Forge?

One of Sound Forge's strengths is the multitude of tasks involved in automatic processing of audio files. I don't have to spend a lot of time manually selecting tracks. For example, to silently delete breaks and sections would allow the auto cut / trim tool (process menu). This function is very useful to me because it will detect the part of the data whose signal level is higher than that determined by Sound Forge. Sound Forge considers such a part to be the end of the desired passage, or the beginning of a fragment of silence. This program is very useful for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sound Forge?

Sony Sound Forge is that the program is not that difficult to learn. Many things are intuitive even for those users who are viewing the program for the first time, not to mention that they are dealing with previous versions of the application. However, to perform the complex tasks of voice processing, intuition alone is not enough. Requires storage of detailed manuals for the product itself and general textbooks on working with voice. And Sound Forge It's a bit complicated, especially if you use the DAW system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigation. Compared to audacity and FL Studio, navigation in Sound Forge is extremely intuitive. You will understand it the first time you use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sound Forge?

Effects like matching beats and combining melodies are way harder to do in Sound Forge than in FL Studio or in Virtual DJ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best simple audio file editor."
4/5
What do you like best about Sound Forge?

Sound Forge is a simple audio editing software. It's the perfect tool edit a lot of small files. It's the perfect tool for micro editing wave files before sending them to an audio engine or editing samples before sending the files to a sampler software, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sound Forge?

Sound Forge have limited capabilities, but it makes it easy and efficient in what it does best... editing audio files.

It's best for small edits, like triming audio files. You can add some effects to files, but exept some volume adjustments, I would use somthing else to add effects, mix, or doing complexe audio editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Sound Editing Software"
4/5
What do you like best about Sound Forge?

One of the best audio editor apps in my opinion. This application has been trusted by people around the world to edit and process audio files. An audio editor application is really needed to improve audio quality, especially for now.The features themselves vary. Multi-channel or Multitrack Recording, Disk Description Protocol Export, Real-time Sample Rate Wave Editor, and Voice Activity Detection are four of them. This app also supports VST and VSTI Effects plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sound Forge?

This application has a fairly large file size, therefore it requires intermediate computer and laptop specifications. It has the simple appearance of a typical audio editor, making it easy to use even for beginners. Of course this application is highly recommended for those of you who like music. And I think it's a little difficult, especially if you use the DAW system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Sound Forge?

Cut, edit and enhance audio files with the highest position and at the sample level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sound Forge?

You can save FX presets but it does not save your last-used settings from session to session, and with some VST FX plugins, it doesn't even save them between application, undoing, and attempting to apply again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
