It has bundled Sonnox plug-ins, does DDP creation and CD burning, and even does DSD recording. I'm not necessarily recommending this, but FYI, I was at the AES show a week ago, and a Japanese company was demoing a Mac/Win audio editor that aims to compete with Sound Forge Pro:įrom what they told me, the product is very mature it's been popular in Japan and is up to v8. > Can anyone recommend a good (and supported) waveform editor for Mac? If you do post elsewhere, please post a pointer here so we can find it. Here's a "product alert" thread reacting to the Magix SFPM 3 release:Īnd here's a fairly recent Music-Computers thread on audio editor recommendations: Or you might contribute to an existing thread, if relevant. I suggest asking in the GearSlutz "Music-Computers" forum: I do think you are probably posting in the wrong place you'll only get the attention of an occasional SFPM user here, and you probably should be spreading the new more broadly. So I, too, would be interested in recommendations. If I don't see concrete improvements in supporting SFPM, I'll be moving on. I took the plunge and invested in the v3 upgrade hoping it might encourage more attention. actual code improvements), and the lack of communication.
For those who'll say I'm posting in the wrong place, let me know if there's a more appropriate I share your disappointment at the slow pace of development, the misdirected effort (adding 3rd-party plug-ins vs. I'm not writing to slam Magix, only to ask if there are better editors available. Maybe audio editing is irrelevant, the bastard child of New Media. I'd love to be proven wrong, as I've invested in SF for many years. Sonic Foundry and Sony made tutorials, issued upgrades (many free) and communicated with users. That's not hard to change, but Magix just cobbled on 3rd-party plugins and called it a $149 upgrade. They're slow, unintuitive, and making presets is plain stupid. Two simple and frustrating examples: compare SF Mac's dialogue boxes for "volume change" and "insert silence" to 2009's SF for PC. Sony had strong developers, so I expected upgrades would come quickly. They admitted there would be problems, and promised to make improvements. When Sony issued SF for Mac, they wisely did a ground-up re-write of SF for PC. If users think Magix is improving SF, I'd like to hear specifics. My comment is based on 18 years of professional work with SF.
