Other frustrations are the inability to chain effects and the lack of high quality mastering effects for sprucing up finished mixes – a task the software is otherwise perfect for. It seems daft having to import a file into Vegas or Acid in order to change the pitch or tempo, and then export it back out again, but the difference in quality means it’s an inconvenience worth bearing.

Sound Forge Pro 10’s improved time-stretch and pitch-shift algorithm, Elastique Pro, hasn’t made it over to this cut-price version, even though it is included in the consumer-oriented Studio versions of Vegas and Acid. It’s prone to digital distortion, and the linear rather than logarithmic frequency control makes it difficult to fine-tune settings. This same effect failed to impress us when we met it in Sound Forge Pro 10. The only new feature that’s not a workflow improvement is the Resonant Filter effect. The Vinyl Recording and Restoration Tool sees modest improvements but its ability to clean up recordings remains basic compared to dedicated software such as Magix Audio Cleaning Lab. Most of the other new features are refinements to the interface, such as the ability to dock floating windows and use tabs to jump between them.

There’s support for AAC files for both import and export, too. Supported audio resolutions are up from 24-bit, 96kHz to 32-bit, 192kHz. However, because it works directly on files rather than by importing to and exporting from a timeline, we frequently find ourselves calling on its services for various tasks: stereo recording, truncating files, format conversion and sample-level surgical edits are just a few examples.
