Just about anything and everything you can imagine that you need to do with audio. Sound Forge makes a great high-quality recording tool that supports both manual recording and automatic record-start modes for those times you can’t be there. Then edit audio, add audio effects, master audio, and much more. Think about it as a multitool for audio. If you need to do it to audio, you can use Sound Forge.

You can download and use a fully functional version of Sound Forge for 15 days at no charge in order to fully evaluate the software. At the end of this free product trial period, you must purchase or subscribe to continue using the application.

While Sound Forge has an incredibly deep tool set, it also offers a logical, straight-forward interface and workflow that make it easy to learn. Beginners can be up and running nearly instantly. Still, there’s a lifetime of learning (and fun!) ahead of you as you dig deeper and deeper.

No. Sound Forge intentionally does not function as a digital audio workstation (DAW). It has been designed as a specialist tool for working on a single audio file in ways that the general editing tool set of the typical DAW simply cannot match. Sound Forge works perfectly as a critical tool that integrates nicely with the DAW of your choice as well as any video editing software you use.
