The new version of Sound Forge boasts of new features such as a fully customizable new graphical user interface which can be personalized to fit an individual’s preferences, an enhanced VST2/3 engine and ARA2 interface extension, high-quality audio visualization tools, among other updates which I shall talk extensively about in the features section. The latest update is comprehensively designed to meet the requirements of professional audio producers. The latest version of Sound Forge developed by Magix is Sound Forge Pro 15. Sound Forge has been, for more than 25 years, a leading provider of professional software solutions for mastering, audio editing and recording in the music industry. The new owners, Magix, have breathed new life into Sound Forge by giving the software some much-needed updates to keep it at par with its competitors. Sony then sold Sound Forge to its current developers, Magix, in 2016.

After Sonic Foundry changed their corporate direction in 2003, Sound Forge was sold to Sony Creative Software. It is one of the pioneering audio mastering and editing platforms in the industry. Sound Forge was originally developed in the early 1990s by Sonic Foundry.
