Conclusions
Sony Sound Forge 9 is impressive, especially for its rich bundle that raise the quality/price ratio and gives the user all the tools he needs to edit and finalize his audio files.
The editing and monitoring capabilities have been definitely improved from the previous release and the introduction of multichannel support represents an important element to convince users to move to this release, especially for the excellent management of channels routing and for the editing features.
It’s a pity that the Dolby Digital AC3 encoder introduced is only the Studio version, but the possibility of using the PRO version having also Sony Vegas Pro 8 installed on the machine can be interesting for having a complete video production suite.
In this release you’ll also find the updated settings for Contour Design Shuttle Pro, Shuttle Pro v2 and Shuttle Xpress controllers.
