SoundForgePro.com is a separate editorial site about Sound Forge and related audio-editing workflows. It is not an official Boris FX, MAGIX, Sony Creative Software, or Sonic Foundry publication, and references to their products do not imply vendor endorsement.
Correction, September 16, 2026: an earlier version made broad claims about sponsorship, affiliate revenue, outside approval, universal sourcing, hands-on authorship and update practices that we could not substantiate across the site's history. It also used a speculative product-integration example that no longer provided reliable current context. Those statements have been removed or limited below. This policy describes the standard for current editorial corrections and future work; it does not certify every older page.
Evidence and sourcing
Claims should be matched to the most direct source available. Product features, supported systems, prices, bundle contents, release details and menu paths should be checked against current vendor documentation or another source responsible for the fact. A source should be linked near the claim when it helps the reader verify it. Older ownership or feature history should be labeled with the relevant period instead of being presented as current.
Documentation supports what a vendor publishes. It doesn't prove application performance, listening results or personal use. Community reports can point to a question worth investigating, but they don't settle the result for every user. A calculation, browser check or application test should be described only within the limits of the evidence recorded for it. The Review Methodology explains these distinctions in detail.
Reviews and recommendations
A recommendation should identify the evidence behind it and separate documented capabilities from direct observation. If a page reports a hands-on test, it should state the software build, relevant settings, input material, equipment or environment, measurement method and limitations. Without that record, the wording should remain documentation-led rather than imply a product session or listening comparison.
Ratings are editorial judgments unless a page explicitly defines another method. They must not be described as user aggregates, laboratory scores or measured category averages without corresponding evidence. The current Sound Forge review explains how its rating should be read.
Commercial relationships and disclosures
If a sponsorship, affiliate arrangement, free access, gift or other material relationship affects a page, it is disclosed clearly near the relevant recommendation or link so readers can weigh it. Paid or affiliate links, if used, also carry the appropriate rel attribute (sponsored or nofollow).
A September 16, 2026 review of the current public HTML found no outbound links marked rel="sponsored" and no recognizable affiliate redirect pattern. Where a material relationship applies, readers should be able to rely on a clear page-level disclosure instead of guessing from URL formatting. The site's Disclaimer explains the separate-site and trademark context.
Authorship and automation
Erick Finn is the editorial byline used on this site. The byline shows who is responsible for published work; on its own it doesn't prove credentials, location, equipment ownership or hands-on product use. The About page describes the site's current purpose and identity boundaries.
AI-assisted tools and scripts may help with research, drafting, claim comparison and technical validation. Their output isn't a source, and it doesn't show that anyone operated Sound Forge, listened to audio or verified a product claim. Material statements are checked against the cited source before publication.
Updates and corrections
Current corrections should keep the page URL where practical, update visible text and dependent structured data together, and add a dated note when an earlier material claim could mislead a reader. A modified date should reflect a substantive change; it isn't a cosmetic freshness signal.
To report an outdated instruction, unsupported experience claim or other factual error, follow the Corrections Policy and include the page URL, the disputed wording and a primary source or reproducible steps when possible.
