![]() The inability to alter the individual automation envelopes of each channel and the inability to individually slide channels around in relation to each other limit the use of this software in a traditional multi-track manner. Each channel in the SF 9.0’s multi-track editor is fixed firmly in place. Nor is it possible to “slide” the individual tracks along the time line in relation to each other. And it is possible to drag an individual channel to a single mono or stereo file, make changes there to the automation envelopes and then paste it back to its original track in the multi-channel editor. ![]() While this limits the usefulness of the multi-channel format, it is consistent with the intent of the program to provide a platform for surround sound applications. For example, you can change the volume for an entire individual channel, but you cannot raise or lower it incrementally along the time line. However, it is not possible to access the individual volume or other automatable envelopes per individual channel in the multi-channel editing mode. About the only way of determining this is by trial and error. Some plug-ins can be applied to more than two channels while others cannot. ![]() Users can apply individual DirectX and VST plug-ins to any combination of multi-channels - with some notable exceptions. SF’s record interface has been redesigned to permit recording of up to 32 channels. That makes it a good candidate for radio stations looking to include surround sound in their HD Radio broadcasting. ![]() The primary application is for surround sound recording and playback and for court recording and transcription services. (click thumbnail) SF 9 Multi-channel DisplaySony’s multi-channel editing has some of the features of multi-track editing but lacks some of the more crucial ones. Multi-track and multi-channel are not the same. However, instead of adding multi-track editing to SF, it has opted for something in between, which Sony calls “multi-channel” editing. With SF 9.0, Sony has addressed the two-track limitation. Like the once-ubiquitous tape recorder, it became a familiar and welcome part of our broadcast world.įrom the beginning, SF has been a two-track audio editor. In the 1990s, Sound Forge was one of the first PC-based digital audio editors.
