One of its strong suits though is the extreme amount of customization options on hand and its ability to adapt to a vast number of audio editing roles and applications.

It is clean and functional though with a new dark mode being available in version 15 which seems to be the industry standard for creative apps these days. The UI is utilitarian at best and the interface could possibly do with a more modern overhaul from a visual standpoint. It may sound trivial, but coming from another audio editor / DAW environment, it can often be frustrating figuring out how to accomplish often simple functions and this mitigated that issue elegantly. In addition to the manual, upon loading up the software for the first time you are greeted with an interactive tutorial system which provides a very visual walkthrough of all the components, menus and windows and will have you oriented in no time. Special mention must be made of the tutorial system included with Sound Forge Pro 15.

From its humble roots as an audio editor, it now caters for professional audio recording and mastering, sound design, audio restoration, CD authoring, podcast production and much more. With most of the Sony creative software catalogue under the Magix banner, Sound Forge, now in its 15th iteration, turns 30 this year. Originally published by Sonic Foundry before changing hands and becoming part of Sony's creative software division in 2003, Sound Forge is a true veteran in the world of digital audio software and a staple on many an audio engineer's workstation.
