I like the professional feel of the software and interface. Allows you a lot of variation and control.

Honestly, I can not remember the last time I used Sound Forge, it's been so long ago and now everything looks so new to me. Definitely a lot more features and more than I will ever need since I probably will not be doing a any podcasting or live streaming. I am mostly using this software for mp3 editing and will be trying to digitize some of my old vinyls when I have time. Trying to get myself re-familiarized with all the features over the last few days and I am still learning new things everyday. I can see why this SF is so useful for podcasters and live streamers. Features like Voval Activity Detection (VAD) where it uses AI to detect vocals in a file and display Red color waves over where vocal is detected so you can make changes or add sound effects dynamically realtime and applying the changes once you are satisfied with the file without having to alter the other part or background music for example. There are also quite a bit of sound effects included where you can use the Plug-in Chain Window to play with. I have this old mp3 file that I was trying to amplify where the volume was so low that my other freeware sound editors couldn't do anything to improve but with this SF, I just drop in that mp3 file, click on the Loudness editing tab on the left located on the left Explorer-like window under "editing" and then choosing one of the preset loudness to apply to and Voila, the volume was much louder than using any other freewares :). You can also remove Statics or silence instantly as well with just a few clicks. Lots of features to experiment with and you just have to dive in and learn as you go along just like I am doing now. The Layout is very intuitive but you can also change how everything is layout once you are more comfortable using this software to improve your work efficiency. For example, some people prefer to have the Loundness Meter nearby a certain way each time they load up SF, and that can be done and saved in one Layout and another way in a different Layout. There is also a quick Hide Main window where the main interface or window will be closed instantly and replaced with a floating recording bar on your screen, this is useful very useful for live streamers or during recording sessions. Also, using SF, it's very easy for Podcasters or Streamers to upload their recordings to any major platforms without having to worry about if their recordings will meet the standards of that particular platform, SF will let them choose the platform to upload to and it will take care of all the details for them, with just a click of a button. These are only just a tip of the iceberg as far as features I am experimental with right now, there are a whole lot more for me to learn :). As far as installing the software and using it, I have no issues with it at all. You will not get a CD, it's only a card with the Voucher Code where you will have to log into the MAGIX website to redeem. Once the Voucher Code is verified and accepted, a Serial number will be generated and email to your inbox. The email will contain all the information for you to download and activate the software with the newly generated Serial Number. Make sure to keep this Serial Number in a safe place in case you need to reinstall the software. It's about 1 GB to download including the free Ozone 10 plug-in. Overall, I am very impressed with SF, more so now than I did way back then :). Very powerful tool for a noob, lol, like myself. From editing, to restoring and mastering, it's a one stop shop.

Not worth the money. Just download audacity for free. More user friendly and doesn’t crash every 5 minutes. What a waste.

I'm still exploring and learning Sound Forge but I really like the clean and modern interface. I've been using Audacity and while it's pretty good the user interface is terrible and hard to navigate. Sound Forge fixes a lot of those problems with it's design. It includes a variety of filters and effects you can apply but for me being able to reduce or eliminate static and background noise in a recording is fantastic. It definitely helps clean up stuff recorded at home. Installation was easy. You get a card with a serial number that you use to activate the software after downloading it. Just remember to save the serial number so you can re-install Sound Forge in the future if you need to.

The media could not be loaded. I do a fair amount of audio enhancement and preparation for school shows and community theaters. I got this product to replace my original Sound Forge (version 10.x), that I had been using for many years. There have been a number of improvements in v 17. The most notable feature -- one that I will be relying on for every track -- is the average and peak meter display. Since my work has switched entirely to the digital console domain, I have to be more cognizant of volume levels, avoiding any chance of clipping. These enhanced meters make that task much easier. I have also noticed that some of the other features, such as volume reduction, are much more precise and produce the desired results on a more consistent basis. My package also included the iZotope plug ins, although I have not used them enough as yet to provide a fair review on these. Both Sound Forge and iZotope require a multiple step online registration process. I had some difficulty getting the iZotope plug ins to license. For both products, you MUST insert all dash marks (xxxxx-xxxx-xxx.....). The software will not register with one continuous string of characters -- no (xxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Also, enter every character exactly as it appears in the licensure email. Once registered, the program worked right away. Just a point of information -- I have been running this on a Windows 7 machine with an i3 processor with no issues. This is absolutely my favorite audio processing software.

Old. Was expecting to be a little more 2022 or 23. Too many hoops. Audacity free turns out to be just as good for editing

It’s my first time using this audio editing software. First, I stopped using windows long time ago. To review this product, I had to get a windows pc and see how it works. Installation and activation process was seamless. It comes with Angie r software, music maker, that adds for the value of this suite. I spent most of my early life working on audio recording and manipulating, it was so fun. Going back to this hobby was interesting, how it’s super easy now to edit and add effects, so it’s suitable for beginners. This software equipped with all needs tools and effects I will ever need. Some plugins even adds more functionality and versatility for this suit. I will keep using it for more time and see how it stands out of other software I used in the past. Overall, I like it and highly recommend it for audio lovers!
