SOUND FORGE PRO 12 TIME STRETCH OFFLINE
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.
SOUND FORGE PRO 12 TIME STRETCH 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).
