Sound Forge On A Mac

US Sony's Sound Forge Pro Mac 1.0 - multichannel audio editing designed exclusively for OS X      14/09/12
Sony Creative Software has released Sound Forge Pro Mac 1.0 software, the newest addition to its line of audio and video production software products. Sony tells us that Sound Forge Pro Mac software, a multichannel audio recording and editing application, was developed from the ground up on a clean slate for OS X and features an elegant interface that redefines the audio editing experience. They say that the application ships with a full suite of audio mastering and repair plug-ins, making it a comprehensive solution for audio professionals who work on the Mac platform.
Dave Chaimson, vice president of global marketing for Sony Creative Software, told Sonic State, "People who work on audio editing platforms recognize the need for a fresh option in the marketplace, one that's built for OS X as opposed to something that's simply been ported over. In addition, it's no secret that cross-platform professionals have been demanding Sound Forge for the Mac for years. Our response is Sound Forge Pro Mac, a truly contemporary OS X design. Producers will appreciate its simple elegance, uncluttered look and amazing flexibility. The included suite of mastering and repair plug-ins makes this 1.0 edition a value-packed editing powerhouse right out of the box. Sound Forge Pro Mac is our second major OS X application release this year, and we're pleased to now be very actively engaged in application development for the Mac platform."
