It supports VST plugins that is a strong point. I have done a lot of my early radio projects on Sound Forge and I thank the company for its great support.

The quality of edits and previews is top notch, and it also works according to your system configuration which is a great feature.

I've been working with Sound Forge for about 15 years, I keep my profession as an audio editor thanks to Sound Forge. I can do my work with great efficiency and quality.

There's another thing that I kinda hate about Sound Forge and that's the speed to load large files. It lags and takes a lot of time to process.

It has a great library of audio effect. Overall, it has a great value for money.

Easy to use and super intuitive. Also it has different tools and filters that you can combine with other programs.

I combine sound forge with adobe audition and its amazing what you can get.

Product is easy to use, straight forward audio editor. Good results with little time.

Compatibility between old versions and new versions was sometimes frustrating.

For Audio I will stay forever with the SOUND FORGE! because, of the stability, confident and GUI.

For me, the smoothness of operation, its intuitive UI and remarkably reasonable price, make Sound Forge hard to resist. I'm addicted and look forward to many happy hours exploring what it can do.

Can be somewhat difficult to set up to record audio that is playing back on your PC.

It doesn't a lot of options for noise reduction. I work with noisy voiceovers associated with a lot of outdoor noise and sometimes studio ambiance.

Sound Forge is very easy to use, even for the first time.

I started using SOUND FORGE in the 90s, and it was almost the only game in town. It was fun and easy to use, and I would always recommend it to beginners, especially. But it's fully capable of pro audio editing!

SOUND FORGE: A Classic Audio Editor

SF is very complete in many ways as there are many tools sufficiently provided to handle any audio editing task. 

Well kitted and ever improving. 

Overall, Sound Forge is a good piece of software but I found it lacking in comparison with Audacity.

Review of Sound Forge

Having a time tested platform for audio processing makes me feel comfortable with my production. I am glad that I can access Sound Forge both on a Window PC and Mac.

Works great for audio processing

Sound forge can be a little simplistic if you look it at a glance, but it does perform very well to capture audio and manipulate sound for a quick in and out when I am working on a video project. I like the fact that it's fairly light on my system when I am running premiere and After Effects at the same time. I grew up using Sound Forge, and it helped me several times while on a time crunch.

Although the UI can be a little too bland and simplistic, you can quickly manipulate audio and get back to your work without too much effort. I alway keep Sound Forge on a click away, even tho I find myself using Mixcraft more and more these days.

Being a Magix software, be prepared to be asked to upgrade to a newer version when you fire you software, but not that big of a deal. there are several versions of the software, so make sure you chose the one that will tackle your audio needs. Overall, give sme piece of mind that I can access a great audio editor when I need to.

Quick and very effective way to capture and manipulate an audio file, quickly!

Overall, it's good for audio editing. It has simple controls and easy to learn. It supports VST plugins that is a strong point. I have done a lot of my early radio projects on Sound Forge and I thank the company for its great support. 

Sound Forge is Awesome for Music Producers 

I integrate Sound Forge into all of my DAWs as my audio editor of choice, for times when there is a need to directly edit the sound file in a track on a project I'm working with.

Inexpensive Audio Power House

I wouldn't do the work I do so well if there wasn't Sound Forge. It presents a simple, objective and dynamic functionality. I highly recommend.

Indispensable

Overall its the one stop shop for all audio editing and recording needs. I have been creating extended versions of songs, mixing audio tracks for videos, recording and cleaning audio files recorded from Vinyls and cassettes, enhancing audio low quality audio files for more than a decade now. 

One of the oldest and best audio editing software.

Sound forge is great tool for mastering

the software is light enough to work easily.

Sound Forge pour avoir un traitement audio professionnel!

Sound Forge for professional audio processing!

I have no bad experiences with Sound Forge whatsoever. I have used it in many different situations and on both Mac and PC. During college, it was a "new" software that they were testing out with my class. I had been using it for a few years prior so I ended up showing them how it works to get it accepted as part of the curriculum.
