Almost every sound engineer knows the name of the Sound Forge Pro editor. This application has gained popularity due to its user-friendly interface, a large number of integrated effects and compatibility with various audio capture devices. The program allows you to both record audio and process ready-made audio tracks, work with fragments of audio files.
You can connect various plug-ins to the editor, among which you should highlight the virtual MIDI router – Sony Sonic Foundry MIDI Router.
Despite belonging to the category of audio editors, the program can not only open audio files in common formats, but also extract audio streams from video files.
Interestingly, during its existence, Sound Forge has changed several developers. Until 2003, the product was owned by Sonic Foundry, after which it moved “under the wing” of Sony Creative Software. In 2016, the media giant staged a big sale of its software solutions, as a result of which SoundForge was bought by MAGIX.

I use the Sound Forge Pro program as a music editor - to record audio from analog audio sources and process voice parts.
Sometimes I need to shorten the duration of a musical composition. With the help of Sound Forge, I can not only remove the segment I don't need, but also do it in such a way that there are no sharp transitions in the final version.

The first time I downloaded the program from the Sony developer - since then I have been using Sound Forge to process voice recordings on a PC.
