You can save both plug-in presets and preset chains. Even better, although you can optionally share the Plug-In Chainer between all open files as is the case in Wavelab, by default there's a different instance for each file - if you want an overall 'feel' when compiling an album this makes auditioning multiple tracks with different chains far easier. In version 6.0 you can now also jump in and out of the Chainer window to select new parts of a file to audition, or switch to another file, without ever having to close the Chainer (just as you can in Wavelab). Much like the similar function in Vegas Pro, this lets you chain together any number of DirectX plug-ins, drag and drop them into a different order, and hear the results immediately in real time. Multitasking now extends to the Audio Plug-In Chainer that first appeared in version 5.0.

Sample-accurate editing is made easier by the enhanced Time Zoom, which now goes all the way up to 24:1 (24 horizontal pixels for each sample), and you can also define two custom horizontal zoom ratios accessed using the numeric keypad.Įnhancements on the video side include new render options for quickly resizing and stretching existing video clips, compensation for non-square pixels in its preview window, and an option to select an external OHCI-compliant IEEE 1394 monitor device instead of viewing using your PC monitor. You can also customise any toolbar by adding, removing, or reordering its buttons, which will help those moving from other applications who are used to having things in different places.

Many floating windows can now be docked, and by dropping them on top of each other you create tabbed windows, for quick movement from one to another. If you have a large batch of files that need treatment, this means you can carry on editing one file while another is being rendered in the background. Not content with this, Sonic Foundry have also made the audio engine a multitasking environment.

Now, everything happens instantly, and only when you eventually save the final edited version of the file is there a wait. Gone are the annoying waits after a cut, paste or delete operation while the entire file was rewritten to the hard drive, which were particularly frustrating when you were trimming the first few milliseconds of a long song. It also offers new import formats including Windows Media Video, QuickTime and MPEG 1 and 2 (as long as you already have the MainConcept MPEG plug-in).įor those who edit large files, the inclusion of non-destructive audio editing is a huge improvement over previous versions. Sound Forge 6.0 now supports files in up to 64-bit float format and 192kHz sample rates, as well as file sizes of 4GB and larger when using the NTFS file system. Users of the superb Acoustic Mirror convolution reverb plug-in (once again installed as standard with SF6 along with a large collection of other quality plug-ins) will also be pleased to find a collection of impulse files on the CD-ROM. Installation is quick and painless, and only takes about 45MB of hard disk space, although there are also three additional applications on the CD-ROM: Vegas Video LE 3.0 Multitrack for creating your own video promos, the stand-alone Batch Converter 5.0, Preset Manager 1.0 (more on this later), and a demo of Izotope's Ozone mastering plug-in. Still resolutely PC-only, Sound Forge version 6.0 runs on Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 and XP, and although it should scrape by on the 200MHz processor and 32MB RAM mentioned in the documentation, in reality most users will want at least a 500MHz processor and 128MB RAM to run more than a couple of real-time plug-in effects. Following just a year after version 5, version 6.0 not only incorporates some obvious new features but a major overhaul to its audio engine, which brings it more into line with competing packages such as Steinberg's Wavelab 4.0. Sonic Foundry's popular stereo editor takes another step forward with the introduction of non-destructive editing and a multitasking audio engine.Īfter a long break of three years between Sound Forge versions 4.5 and 5.0 (reviewed in SOS November 2001), Sonic Foundry seem once again to be giving their digital audio editing package a higher development priority. The new Plug-In Chainer is multitasking, so you can leave it previewing while you select another part of the file, open other windows, or switch to another file with a different chain of effects.
