Considering that Sony’s flagship plug-ins (going by the Sony Oxford brand) utilise PowerCore hardware, Sound Forge’s VST support isn’t a moment too soon. Meanwhile, TC Electronics’ PowerCore and Universal Audio’s UAD-1 platforms, which use dedicated DSP hardware to deliver some of the best plug-ins available, use the VST standard to interface with host software. This offers no inherent advantage over DirectX support, except that there are far more VST plug-ins in circulation, including a good number of excellent free ones. Version 8 removes this DirectX dependence thanks to support for VST plug-ins. The downside is that the best plug-ins cost hundreds of pounds each. DirectX plug-in support provides a solution, allowing third-party plug-ins from Waves and others to be used inside the program. However, the effects that are central to mastering – EQ, compression and limiting – fall short of the quality needed for serious work. The exception is the Acoustic Mirror reverb, which, despite a basic set of controls, uses convolution processing to give excellent results. Sound Forge handles simple editing tasks, such as truncating, fading, looping and splicing, with breathtaking agility, but its effects library remains more utilitarian than inspiring.
