These are not new to most audio editing programs, but certainly useful to have.
#Sound forge pro 12 manual 64 Bit#
Since I’ve been recording and mixing audio for decades, I could understand what the manual was trying to describe, but I felt the order of topics and some of the descriptions might be confusing to a novice.Īlthough I’ve never used a ‘lite’ version before, I see that SFAS12 is now a native 64-Bit program (needs a 64 bit OS), and has added some new editing techniques like slice editing, soft cut, and cross-fades. It runs 30 pages before the description of the program interface, but it then spends another ten pages on some rather basic information about recording with a PC and manipulating audio selections. It is aimed at the novice or ‘sometime’ user and the manual makes this very clear upon reading the first few pages - it jumps right to audio cleaning techniques, recording from vinyl/cassettes/podcasts, burning CDs, and briefly describes editing sound for video.

This light version is pared down from the full ‘pro’ program, enabling you to edit only one stereo track, but includs a good set of tools for basic editing and cleaning up audio. I chose the demo! Hopefully MAGIX are working to clean up their installation process. I was about to give up when I noticed a Sound Forge icon on my desktop - and clicking it brought up the program with options to authorize it or run a demo for up to 30 days. It instructed me to send a “Customer Service Inquiry” that would attach a detailed error report - however, I got a “connection failed” message when I tried this (several times) even though my PC was connected to a working 100 Mbps WiFi system. It continued the installation process when I clicked an OK button, but in the end I received an Installation Error message! Not the cleanest installation I’ve seen (and I’ve seen hundreds).

One slightly confusing choice in downloading is languages - DE, the default, is of course German, and I assume JP is Japanese, but English is listed as II which I assume is Inglese Internacionale! So far, so good, but the install operation was not so smooth, and it hung with a “Cause Exit code 1603”. The download of SFAS12 itself took about 4 minutes - there were options to also download a free copy of Ozone 7 Elements (which I already have) and a couple other programs, Audio Cleaning Lab and Music Maker, but I did not need these either. Note that MAGIX is working on an offline authorization process, but I did not test that procedure.
Since I intentionally keep my studio as far from the Internet as possible, I decided to load it onto an Internet connected office machine since I didn’t plan to actually use it in my studio. But the first issue I had in trying SFAS12 was that the MAGIX site noted an active Internet connection was required to authorize the software.

I wouldn’t normally discuss installation since for most software I’ve used, it is a painless process.
So, could the Audio Studio version do all that I normally do with Sound Forge? And would it be a useful program for someone who only needs to copy audio from vinyl, tapes, or other format, edit the sequence of files and burn them to a CD or a thumb drive? It also is my usual converter from 24 bit WAV to mp3 when I need to send a ‘lossy’ sample to someone in an email. I use it daily, both to make adjustments and measurements on single tracks, and to trim and normalize the final mix from my DAW.
I do not record with Sound Forge Pro, nor do I use its multitrack capability - it is my main audio editor that pops up when I double-click an audio track in my DAW. I’ve had about every (pro) version since, and when asked to review Sound Forge Audio Studio 12 (SFAS12 from now on), I decided it might be enlightening to see how the former LE version compares with the ‘pro’ versions. I’ve used Sound Forge since its first release in the late 90’s, and was actually a beta tester when it was a product of Sonic Foundry in Madison WI. Price: about $45 at time of this review, but originally listed at $60 (there is a free 30-day demo version).
