Description
Sound Forge Pro Mac 3 from MAGIX Entertainment is an advanced audio waveform editor optimised 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, dialogue, video, and more.
Sound Forge Pro 3 features a flexible interface that can be easily configured to optimise your workflow for the task at hand. The software is equipped with a powerful audio engine which 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 artefacts, while the iZotope Voice De-Noise plug-in works to enhance vocals and dialogue 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 Levelling combined with the Loudness metres simplify the process of finalising AES/EBU-compliant, broadcast-ready audio master files, and ensure compliance with broadcast loudness regulations such as the CALM Act.

- Load Audio Portions of Popular Video File Formats
- Open and edit the audio stream from a variety of popular video file formats including XAVC, XDCAM, AVCHD, and more
- iZotope RX Elements
- De-Clip: Restores distorted audio by detecting and repairing clipping artefacts
- Voice De-Noise: Specifically designed to fine-tune vocals and dialogue by reducing background noise
- De-Hum: Easily remove line noise and ground-loop hum
- De-Click: Use the low-latency de-click algorithm to remove clicks and crackle from vinyl recordings, or attenuate the “clicky” performance of a bass guitar track
- iZotope Ozone Elements
- Based on the algorithms of legendary iZotope Maximiser
- Enables you to achieve a full, rich, and loud final master — radio- and streaming-ready
Features
Processing Power
- Optimised for Mac OS X environment
- Designed to work flawlessly with native and third-party plug-ins
High-Resolution Recording
- Record high-resolution audio at 24-bit/192 kHz
- Up to 32 channels of simultaneous recording
- Customisable window layouts give you access to flexible hardware routing and adjustable metering utilities
Precise Editing
- Edit at the sample level
- Configurable viewing panels enable you to toggle between multiple open files and configure open projects for easy access to editing features
- Easily switch between time-based or event-based editing modes
Interoperability with Spectralayers Pro 4
- Complete round-trip workflow with SpectraLayers Pro 4
- Experience the best of both waveform editing and spectral editing
- Menu commands enable you to easily move files between the two applications and utilise the unique strengths of these powerful audio tools
Mastering for Music and Dialogue
- Combine native mastering tools such as the Wave Hammer Compressor/Limiter with included iZotope plug-ins to perfect the audio
Disc-at-Once CD Burning
- Burn all open files directly to a Redbook-compliant, replication-ready master CD
- Add track markers to a single-file recording of a live set and burn a gapless, disc-at-once, Redbook standard audio CD
File Conversion Automation
- Standalone batch processing application automates multiple file processing in a single operation
- Convert to a new file format, add processing and effects, add metadata including artwork, to multiple files in a single batch process
Flexible and Customisable Workspace
- Easily optimise the interface for the task at hand
- Click the Show/Hide pane buttons to quickly readjust the interface layout
- Drag tools from one pane to another to customise tool location to suit your workflow
Multiple Edit Mode
Time Mode
- For general purpose editing — enables you to select a range of time within the waveform, and manipulate just that audio
Event Mode
- For editing non-destructively
- Event-based editing allows you to divide a sound file into any number of independent sections (events) that can be arranged and rearranged on the timeline
- Event Mode allows you to convert regions to events, lock event markers, region markers, and envelope points to events, and automatically ripple successive events forward in time while editing
Normalise
- Use the normalise feature to accomplish standard peak-level normalisation, or modify an audio file dynamics directly using average RMS-level normalisation
- Great for matching the apparent loudness of different recordings
Channel Convertor
- Use the Channel Convertor to change the number of channels in an audio file, reverse the channels of a stereo file, or intermix the channels of a multichannel file to create panning scenarios
Native Processor
- Built-in native audio processors provide powerful sound-shaping possibilities
- Apply processes such as Auto Trim, Fade in/out, Invert/Flip, Mute, Reverse, Volume, to a specific time selection within an audio file or to the entire file
Post-Processing
Bit Depth Conversion
- Convert sound files to different bit depths while applying dithering using the included iZotope MBIT+Dither plug-in
- Achieve optimum bit depth conversion with detailed control over parameters such as bit depth selection, dither mode, noise shaping, minimise peaks, and silence harmonics
Sample Rate Conversion
- Convert the sample rate of an existing sound file accurately using the included iZotope 64-bit SRC (sample rate convertor) plug-in
- Achieve optimum sample rate conversion with detailed control over parameters such as sample rate selection, quality, steepness, filter length, cutoff scaling, alias suppression, and pre-ring
Time Stretch
- Use Zplane élastique time-stretch plug-in to achieve optimal pitch-shifting and audio file length adjustments, without artefacts
- State-of-the-art psychoacoustic models and signal-processing theory provide stable timing, inter-channel phase coherence, and sample-accurate stretching

Wave Hammer
- Audio mastering tool which combines a classic compressor and a volume maximiser
- Use the Compressor to add punch to your audio, or crank it up to create analogue-like distortion
- Use the Volume Maximiser to boost the overall level of a signal without clipping or distortion, or to limit the signal's peak amplitude
Audio Effects
- Improve the quality of your audio or create unique sounds using the included processes and effects
- Apply effects individually or use a plug-in chain to add multiple plug-ins to process your audio
- Adjust parameters and preview the results in real-time prior to rendering
