    We can say that Sound Forge includes virtually all the tools needed to edit and create audio files. Its interface is quite simple, consisting of a main screen, toolbar, and menu at the top.
    The files we are editing (as we can edit several files simultaneously) will be displayed on the main screen. Each audio file is represented by a wave of audio that serves as a guide for cuts, applying effects, reducing the volume, etc. The use of the audio waveform editor is very intuitive, allowing us to perform basic tasks without having to read any help. You will be able: to zoom, select the exact area, place the marker at the right point, etc. So even someone who used it for the first time can start to make more or less complex edits in an hour or less.

    One of the most notable features is the number of plugins and effects that can be applied to audio files. In addition to having a lot, we can combine them to form an entirely new sound effect. Some of the effects and plugins we can use are: distortion, reverb, tremolo and vibrato, pitch modifier, and more. This is only a tiny sample of all the plugins catalog available for this audio editor.

    Of course, the program supports the vast majority of audio formats on the market, such as: mp3, wav, ogg, wav, wma, etc. We can even open videos of different formats and edit the audio track. Some of the supported video formats are: avi, mov, mp4, MPEG, WMV, and more. You can choose an existing file or create a new one using any device to record the external sound.

    These are just some of the features of this magnificent Software. If you want to check its potential, the best is to download the demo version and try it.
    Thanks to Sony Sound Forge, we can concentrate on creative work and set aside the problems with the interface or the use since the learning curve is very small.

    In the beginning was developed and created by Sonic Foundry company, which in 2003 was acquired by Sony, taking the rights to use and continue developing Sonic Foundry products.

    You can download the demo for 30 days to test the program's functionality. The demo is fully functional, which means that, during those 30 days, you can use the program without any limitations.
