About SoundForgePro.com

SoundForgePro.com is an independent guide to Sound Forge and the iZotope and Boris FX audio software around it. The guides are written for readers with a concrete job in front of them: cleaning up a voice recording, choosing between RX editions, getting an install or license sorted, or deciding whether an upgrade is worth the money. Each page tries to answer that job directly, with the numbers and steps that decide it.

What the site covers

Sound Forge is the core: editing, restoration, mastering, recording and troubleshooting guides for the editor, plus browser-based audio tools for quick checks. Boris FX announced its acquisition of Sound Forge, VEGAS Pro and ACID Pro from MAGIX on March 30, 2026, and of iZotope on July 2, 2026, so the site now follows that wider catalogue too. The iZotope RX hub sorts repair work by problem, the Ozone hub covers mastering editions and upgrades, and the Boris FX plugins hub sorts VEGAS Pro, Sapphire, Continuum and Mocha by job. Prices and sales live on the deals page, so a review doesn't go stale every time a discount changes.

How tests and claims work

When a guide makes a performance claim, such as how fast a repair module renders, how much CPU a plugin chain takes or how two denoisers compare on the same material, the figure comes from a composite of published tests. We collect measurements from specialist reviews, video comparisons that show their numbers and forum reports that give the build and hardware, then report the median, the range and the number of sources behind it. Key sources are linked where their numbers appear, and a figure that rests on a single source is credited to that source.

Product facts are handled separately. Prices, editions, supported systems, bundle contents and menu paths are checked against current vendor pages and manuals and dated where they can change. MAGIX-era and Boris FX-era details carry their period, so an older version isn't mistaken for the current one. The review methodology sets out the whole process, including how review ratings are reached, and the Editorial Policy covers sourcing and disclosure.

Who writes the guides

Guides are published under the Erick Finn byline, which names the editor responsible for each page and its corrections. The author profile lists the guides and links to the Facebook and X profiles used for reader questions. The byline isn't offered as a credential: a guide should earn trust through the sources it links, the conditions it states and how quickly it's corrected.

Independence

SoundForgePro.com isn't an official Boris FX, iZotope or MAGIX site, and product names here don't imply vendor endorsement. Licensing, activation and refunds go through the vendor. The disclaimer explains that separation and where material relationships have to be disclosed.

Corrections and contact

Software changes quickly, and a guide can be wrong. The Corrections Policy explains how to report a figure that doesn't match its source or an instruction that no longer works: include the page URL, the wording at issue and the source that contradicts it. For questions about a guide, the contact page lists the ways to reach the author.

Correction, September 16, 2026: an earlier version of this page described Erick Finn as a Germany-based music producer with a personal recording, mixing, mastering and post-production history, and said every article came from actual use. Those statements weren't supported by records and were removed.
