It can record at up to 24-bit / 192kHz rates and of course import almost any audio file format including audio streams from a number of video file formats. Being Mac native and a relatively young app means it feels nimble, with no heavy graphics or bloated menus. We were particularly impressed with the included time stretching features which allow very fine adjustment of time, tempo and pitch and the way that all the effects can be previewed from inside their own settings panels before committing to processing.The feel of SOUND FORGE on the Mac is pretty stripped-back and surgical which is no problem at all, since such an approach tends to help with usability. You get a selection of high quality effects for processing your recordings, including compression, delay, EQ, reverb and various filters inveterate knob-twiddlers can fiddle with the effects manually, while there are plenty of well-described presets for those less aurally inclined users. Sound Forge includes a range of tools for precision editing of audio files including a pencil mode which lets you draw directly within the waveform and an envelope mode which is great for adjusting the way effect parameters are applied over a specific passage of audio. The interface is easy to customise and works well, even on a 13” MacBook screen. Find an individual audio file in the browser and it can previewed instantly or right clicked and added to a handy list of favourites. The interface is sparse but well-organised into a collection of clever panels which contain the various editing views, the plug-in effects chain, browsers, file properties, meters and so on that can be arranged and switched on or off with a couple of mouse clicks.
