Product description Which DAW is Right for You? Read More SOUND FORGE PRO Mac 3 from MAGIX Entertainment is an advanced audio waveform editor optimized for the Mac OS X environment. It provides audio engineers with an extensive suite of restoration, repair, editing, and mastering tools, to record and produce broadcast- and streaming-ready audio master files, for music, dialog, video, and more.SOUND FORGE PRO 3 features a flexible interface that can be easily configured to optimize your workflow for the task at hand. The software is equipped with a powerful audio engine that lets you simultaneously record up to 32 channels of high-resolution audio at 24-bit / 192 kHz. Precise control over the editing process is achieved with the ability to edit at the sample-waveform level, using the included SpectraLayers Pro 4 spectral editor. Distorted audio files can be restored with the iZotope De-Clip plug-in, which detects and repairs clipping artifacts, while the iZotope Voice De-Noise plug-in works to enhance vocals and dialog clarity by reducing background noise.To help deliver a full and loud final master, SOUND FORGE PRO 3 comes with mastering plug-ins that include the Wave Hammer compressor/limiter and iZotope Ozone Elements. In addition, the automatic loudness leveling combined with the loudness meters simplify the process of finalizing AES/EBU-compliant, broadcast-ready audio-master files, and ensure compliance with broadcast loudness regulations such as the CALM Act. Note: This product is an educational discounted version available to qualified students, faculty/staff, and accredited academic institutions only. Proof of current educational status is required.
