The biggest change elsewhere is support for surround sound. The quality falls short of processors used in professional mastering studios, but they’re considerably better than the other bundled effects in Sound Forge, or any other stereo editor for that matter. For all its graphical niceties, though, inexperienced users are likely to struggle with the multiband compressor, since there’s no documentation available for this inherently complex plug-in. All four plug-ins have well-conceived interfaces, and we particularly like the limiter’s novel input volume display, giving a useful guide to how much dynamic range you’re losing. It only simulates rooms and plates and not halls and ambiences, but it might see some use when mastering voice-over work. It comprises multiband compression, EQ and brick-wall limiting – the three standard ingredients in a mastering chain – plus reverb. Top billing on the new features list is a quartet of iZotope plug-ins called the Mastering Effect Bundle.
