New! iZotope 64-bit SRC (sample rate conversion)
Sound Forge Pro 10 software includes iZotope Sample Rate Conversion (SRC), which is a necessary process when converting material from one sampling rate (such as studio quality 192 kHz) to another rate (such as CD-quality 44.1 kHz). iZotope SRC utilizes a hybrid low-pass filter design, resulting in pristine audio with less aliasing when resampling audio.

New! iZotope MBIT+™ dither (bit-depth conversion)
The best-sounding audio requires the highest sample bit depth. Sound Forge Pro 10 software includes iZotope MBIT+ dither. MBIT+ employs psychoacoustic methods to distribute noise into less audible ranges, resulting in an improved sound and smoother fades.

Channel converter for multichannel files
The Sound Forge Pro 10 Channel Converter tool supports multichannel formats for easy downmixing of multichannel files to stereo or mono.
Wet/dry mix and crossfade options for effects
The effects and process dialogs in Sound Forge Pro 10 software allow you to work on the media file and tweak parameters including wet/dry levels. Quickly switch between processing dialogs and data windows while working to adjust selection, fade-in and out, and gain levels.
Phase scope and mono-compatibility metering
The Phase Scope metering in Sound Forge Pro 10 software helps you monitor the content of an audio signal to find phase cancellation among the channels in an audio file. The Phase Scope tool gives you a quick and easy visual measurement of the audio content. Meter types include Lissajous - XY Plot, Lissajous - Rotated, Polar - Linear Plot, and Polar - Circular Plot. The new mono compatibility meter helps detect correlations or differences between the channels of a file that can cause phase cancellation when downmixing to mono.
Multichannel-capable spectrum analysis
View frequencies and overtones of different channels within an audio file. The Spectrum Analysis tool shows multiple graphs depending on how many channels are selected. Analyze and see the fundamental frequencies and overtones in your recordings. Monitor audio and effects changes, take multiple snapshots, and overlay views to compare and match frequencies of one file to another. Toolbar buttons include choices for FFT size and normal or sonogram view.
VST effect support
Native support of VST plug-ins, including parameter automation, expands on the number of effects you can apply to your audio, ultimately increasing your mastering flexibility.
Application scripting
Use scripting to automate common tasks and create customized features. New application scripting tools include the Script Editor window and toolbar. Additionally, Sound Forge Pro 10 software includes scripts of commonly used tasks. Scripting languages supported are C#, JScript, and VBScript.
Batch conversion
With Batch Conversion, you can apply the same effects and processes to multiple files, saving hours of editing time. Convert digital audio files into different formats including MP3, WMA, AIF, and RM—eliminating repetitive tasks. Convert as many files as you like in one sweep. Simply add a group of files to the Batch Conversion interface, select an effect or process, and run the script. Sound Forge Pro 10 software will take care of the rest! You can also save and recall your most frequently used batch scripts.
Over 40 built-in effects and processes
Apply over 40 professional studio effects and processes that include 200 presets. Automatable effects include Volume, Delay, Chorus, and more.
Clipped peak detection and marking
Sound Forge Pro 10 software automatically scans sections of your file and marks sample peaks that are clipping. These indicators also show up in the Regions List for immediate identification. Audio Restoration tools eliminate clicks, pops, and other noise from your mix.
White, pink, and brown noise generators
White, pink, and brown noise generators are invaluable for audio testing, room acoustic analysis, and measurements. These generators are also useful for creating sound effects such as water, wind, helicopters, and more.
Acoustic Mirror ™ software plug-in
Apply different environments to your audio including bridges, churches, concert halls, modern and classic microphones, and more.
