Zplane lastique timestretch

lastique makes time-stretching artifacts obsolete. Based on state-of-the-art psychoacoustic models and signal processing theory, the result is stable timing, interchannel phase coherence, and sample-accurate stretching. Achieve formant-preserving pitch shifting that avoids the well-known pitfalls that can occur when pitching up or down. Choose from various stretching methods that are tailored to your source audio, and adjust settings while previewing.

Use the Phase Scope in Sound Forge Pro 11 to find phase cancellation among the channels in an audio file. Meter types include Lissajous - XY Plot, Lissajous - Rotated, Polar - Linear Plot, and Polar - Circular Plot. The 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. Observe fundamental frequencies and overtones in your recordings. Monitor audio and effects changes, take multiple snapshots, and overlay views to compare and match frequencies. Toolbar buttons include choices for FFT size and normal or sonogram view.

Application scripting

Mastering

Millions of high-end audio master files have been rendered out of Sound Forge Pro over more than fifteen years of dedicated service to audio professionals the world over. In version after version, we've evolved our presentation to incorporate better-sounding and increasingly sophisticated tools as standard features. Sound Forge Pro 11 is no exception, with new repair and voice processing tools that will take your audio to the master stage quickly and easily.

Mastering EQ

The Mastering EQ is a six-band parametric equalizer featuring four bell filters, a high shelving filter, and a low shelving filter. It incorporates digital precision and analog modeling, as well as real-time spectrum analysis for essential visual feedback while adjusting parameters.

Mastering Reverb

The Mastering Reverb was designed to add depth to dull mixes and smooth over acoustic imperfections. It features two processing algorithms, plate and room, and a real-time spectrum analyzer.

Multiband Compressor

The Multiband Compressor is an essential tool for adding warmth and fullness to mixes. It allows independent control over the dynamics of four frequency bands, and adjustable crossover points that let you fine tune the range of each band.

Mastering Limiter

The Mastering Limiter lets you create louder and fuller masters by limiting the dynamic range and boosting the perceived overall level of the mix. IRC (Intelligent Release Control) lets you dial in aggressive yet transparent limiting.

Mastering Imager

Precisely adjust the stereo width and focus of your master using multiband stereo imaging. Work with up to four frequency bands for independent control over stereo width by frequency. Visualize the stereo image with a powerful phase/channel meter display that highlights imaging, phase and potential cancellation problems.

Harmonic Exciter

The Harmonic Exciter is a powerful tool for adding analog character to your masters. With a selection of Harmonic Exciter modes, you can easily add tube or tape saturation, accentuate even harmonics, and add punch and sparkle to your project.

Post-processing

iZotope 64-bit SRC (sample rate conversion)

Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) is a necessary process when converting material from one sample rate (such as studio-quality 192 kHz) to another (such as CD quality 44.1 kHz). Low-pass filter quality is a critical component of any sample rate conversion process. iZotope's SRC protects against the loss of data, aliasing, noise, and unwanted ringing artifacts that appear in other implementations, and utilizes a hybrid low-pass filter along with ringing control, resulting in pristine audio quality and the highest level of control for the engineer.

iZotope MBIT+ dither (bit depth conversion)

The best sounding audio requires the highest sample bit depth. By truncating 24-bit or higher audio tracks to 16-bit, you are inevitably losing quality and introducing undesirable noise called quantization distortion. Dither is the way to address quantization noise and control where it goes. Sound Forge Pro 11 includes iZotope MBIT+ dither. MBIT+ employs psychoacoustic methods to distribute the noise into less audible ranges, resulting in improved sound and smoother fades. iZotope MBIT+ was specifically designed for musical program material MBIT+ models use real music and not test tones, resulting in the most musical and sonically pleasing dither available.

Restore and repair

Advanced repair and restoration capability has been a hallmark of Sound Forge Pro functionality ever since the advent of our native Noise Reduction 2 processor. Sound Forge Pro 11 brings three new iZotope plug-ins to the table, providing even more fresh options for solving common audio problems.

Declicker

The Declicker identifies and removes clicks, pops and digital impulse noises. Set the fader to the sensitivity level you need, then count the number of clicks that are identified and repaired over time as your audio file plays.

Denoiser

Easily perform noiseprint-based noise reduction with the Denoiser plug-in. Simply click the Learn button while playing a random sample of unwanted noise contained in your target file and Denoiser does the rest, by applying a customized noise reduction process across your entire selection.

Declipper

The Declipper plug-in reconstructs peaks damaged by clipping at either the analog or digital stage. Use the level histogram to pinpoint where the damage starts. Set the Clipping Threshold to determine where peak resynthesis will begin.
