Like the L1, it has Threshold, Output Level, and Release Time controls, but as with the compressor there's also an option to use a longer look‑ahead time. The volume maximiser works like Waves' L1 Ultramaximizer and Steinberg's Loudness Maximizer, by looking ahead in the waveform to anticipate peaks, so that the average level can be increased by several dBs with minimal changes to the subjective sound of the material. The 'Use longer look‑ahead' option lets you get away with slower attack times. You can select Peak or RMS detection, along with 'smooth saturation', and automatic gain compensation. The compressor features standard Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release and Output Gain controls, along with an extra Smart Release, which compensates for sustained notes and transients. In effect terms, the highlight of version 5.0 is the all‑new Wave Hammer, a two‑part audio mastering plug‑in featuring a 'classic' compressor and a volume maximiser on separate tabbed pages. The Statistics function can now finally provide a readout of RMS background noise figures for your 24‑bit soundcard, while for those more interested in on‑line audio or smaller file sizes, a new MP3 plug‑in is now available in the Save As dialogue. The Resample process has also been upgraded to 192kHz capability, while the bit‑depth converter provides a variety of dither and noise‑shaping options to achieve the best possible results when converting from 24‑bit and 32‑bit files down to 16 bits for CD burning.

It now supports 8‑bit, 16‑bit, 24‑bit integer, and 32‑bit IEEE float formats, at any sample rate you care to enter between 2kHz and 192kHz. Sound Forge 5.0 doesn't look a great deal different to its predecessor, but things have changed under the bonnet. The new Wave Hammer plug‑in is a versatile addition both for mastering and sound mangling. Make sure you copy the latter onto your hard drive, as this isn't done by default when you install, and it certainly makes getting to know the new features somewhat easier.

However, at 20Mb this is the largest file I've ever been required to download, particularly for an update, and even with a good connection it occupied my 56k modem and phone line for over an hour.Īlso on the CD‑ROM is Vegas Audio LE, a cut‑down version of SF's multitrack audio recording application providing eight‑track recording, a 50‑page Quick Start Manual and a separate foldout guide to Sound Forge's many keyboard commands, along with a comprehensive PDF manual. I did make sure that I had the latest 5.0b build 162 update, available from the Sonic Foundry web site. The new desktop and Start menu shortcuts didn't point to the new application either, but this was easily corrected by hand.

Sonic Foundry have, thankfully, stuck with their simple serial number protection, but I was a little concerned to get an error message during the install process (a DLL file failed to register), although this didn't cause me any subsequent problems. With acoustics derived from real‑world environments, Acoustic Mirror is a powerful reverb plug‑in, although it does take a lot of CPU muscle.

There are also other new features, some of which have never been seen before, and others that were previously available as optional extras and are now bundled free of charge.

I covered it in my October 1998 PC Notes column, and although it now included batch conversion and spectrum analysis as standard, along with an extra set of Acid looping tools, very little else was new, and by that time its lack of 24‑bit support was becoming a serious deficiency.Įxactly three years later I'm reviewing Sound Forge 5.0, which finally adds the ability to load, edit, and save 24‑bit files. However, it was a further 18 months before the next version, v4.5, of Sound Forge appeared. By March 1997 I was reporting on its very effective Noise Reduction, Spectrum Analyser, and Batch Converter plug‑ins. Now it's here in version 5, along with a bundle of new features and plug‑ins.įor several years Sound Forge 4.0 was my audio editor of choice: back in 1996 it offered far more functions than most of its competitors, and by Christmas of that year version 4.0a introduced the first plug‑in effects using early DirectX technology. Sound Forge is a very popular PC audio editor, but users have waited a long time for 24‑bit support. The Plug‑In Chainer, along with the new bundled plug‑ins from the XFX packs such as the Paragraphic EQ shown here, create a powerful combination.
