MAGIX Software announces SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 13

The latest version of SOUND FORGE Audio Studio delivers the power of SOUND FORGE Pro to a broader audience, as it provides everything that today's sound makers and audio designers need in an easy, intuitive package.

More flexible. More efficient.

SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 13 refines existing features and also adds completely new functionality. Highlights include a new Event Tool that brings non-destructive editing to the SOUND FORGE Audio Studio platform. It’s now possible to make cuts to your audio files without hard transitions which you can adjust, edit and undo at any time, long after they were made. There's a brand-new, fully-customizable interface, adjustable with four different hues: Dark, Medium, Light and White. Six channels of audio processing allow you to edit files in full 5.1 surround sound. Add many new effects and tools plus iZotope's Ozone 8 Elements and you have everything that any audio enthusiast or professional needs – from hobbyist to audiophile, podcaster to music producer.

Intuitive workflow. Professional results.

With up to 32-bit/384kHz high-quality multitrack audio recording, SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 13 will capture the best quality results for bands, singer-songwriters, or any other musicians. It also includes a multitude of editing features that can help deliver perfect podcasts or restore and repair old vinyl and tape audio to produce top-quality digital masters. You can prepare CDs for duplication, mix in surround sound, create quality soundtracks, or master music for CD or streaming – SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 13 handles any audio task you throw at it, with ease. Professional results tied to an intuitive workflow mean that it really does put high-performance audio editing well within reach of everybody.

Thomas Wolf, SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 13's Product Owner says: “SOUND FORGE Pro has been the number one professional audio-editing choice for more than 25 years. With SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 13, our goal was to deliver all of that SOUND FORGE Pro know-how and power in an efficient, speedy and versatile package that appeals to everyone. We think that today's bloggers, producers, engineers and sound designers – or anyone who needs professional results and an intuitive workflow – will love what we've managed to pack into SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 13.”
