맥으로 오디오 작업을 하시는 분들께 좋은 소식을 전해드리게 되었습니다.
한때 정체불명의 맥용 오디오 편집 프로그램이 한 티징 사이트(FinallyOnTheMac.com)에 노출되어 소니가 맥용 오디오 소프트웨어를 개발하는 것이 아닌가하는 의문이 제기된적 있는데 소니가 맥용 사운드 포지 출시를 오늘 공식적으로 발표하면서 루머가 현실이 되었습니다.
소니가 오늘 배포한 보도 자료에 따르면 맥용 사운드 포지 프로의 사용자 인터페이스와 내부 매커니즘을 윈도우 버전에서 차용하지 않고 처음부터 완전히 새롭게 개발해 OS X에 최적화된 디자인과 성능을 보여줄 것이라 자신하고 있습니다.
맥용 사운드 포지 프로는 9월 중에 판매가 시작되며 판매 가격은 미화 299불입니다.

Sony Creative Software, a leading global provider of professional editing and authoring solutions, today released Sound Forge Pro Mac 1.0 software, the newest addition to its line of award-winning audio and video production software products. A multichannel audio recording and editing application, Sound Forge Pro Mac software was developed from the ground up on a clean slate for OS X and features an elegant interface that redefines the audio editing experience. The application ships with a full suite of audio mastering and repair plug-ins, making it a comprehensive solution for audio professionals who work on the Mac platform.
"People who work on audio editing platforms recognize the need for a fresh option in the marketplace, one that's built for OS X as opposed to something that's simply been ported over. In addition, it's no secret that cross-platform professionals have been demanding Sound Forge for the Mac for years," said Dave Chaimson, vice president of global marketing for Sony Creative Software. "Our response is Sound Forge Pro Mac, a truly contemporary OS X design. Producers will appreciate its simple elegance, uncluttered look and amazing flexibility. The included suite of mastering and repair plug-ins makes this 1.0 edition a value-packed editing powerhouse right out of the box. Sound Forge Pro Mac is our second major OS X application release this year, and we're pleased to now be very actively engaged in application development for the Mac platform."
