Loudness compliance is of big concern to broadcasters, so Sound Forge Pro Mac 2 now includes CALM Act compliant metering. Even without it, Sound Forge Pro Mac 2 now enables data interoperability between it and SpectraLayers Pro 2. If you purchase Sound Forge Pro as part of the Audio Mastering Bundle, you also get SpectraLayers Pro 2, an audio spectrum editing tool. Load your files, set up the script and the rest is automated. The Convrt batch tool – a freestanding utility for mass file conversions – comes with Sound Forge Pro Mac 2. Another included filter is the Zplane élastique Pro time stretch and pitch shift plug-in.
#SONY SPECTRALAYERS PRO 2 FULL#
Nectar Elements is the “lite” version of the full Nectar filter and is being bundled with a number of the Sony applications, including Vegas Pro. However, it can still be used on music and mixed tracks without issue. The Nectar series is a channel strip, all-in-one filter that combines a number of the processes that a recording engineer would place in the signal chain when recording vocals. The Pro version includes a number of Sony and iZotope plug-ins designed for mastering (EQ, reverb, multi-band compressor, limiter, imager and exciter), post processing (sample rate and bit depth conversion) and restore/repair (declicker, denoiser and declipper).Ī new addition is the inclusion of the iZotope Nectar Elements plug-in. Although file-based, it can handle up to 32-channel files and is capable of recording, as well as editing and mastering. It supports high-resolution files up to 24-bit/192 kHz. All Sound Forge Mac versions are architected for OS X and not simply a port from Windows.Īs before, Sound Forge Pro continues to be a file-based editor and not a multi-track DAW designed for mixing. This year version 2.0 was released, which includes more features, power and support for 64-bit plug-ins. Although Sony’s audio applications have traditionally been Windows-based, Sony previously ventured into the Mac ecosystem with its 1.0 version of Sound Forge Pro for the Mac. Sony’s software arm – known for Acid, Vegas and Sound Forge, to name a few – has expanded its Mac audio offerings. Sony Creative Software – Sound Forge Expands 2014 is closing out nicely with new offerings from Sony Creative Software and iZotope. But if you want that extra audio finesse, then you really need some dedicated audio applications and plug-ins.

Most video editors can get by with the audio editing tools that are built into their NLE.
