On May 20, 2016, Sony announced that it would be selling the bulk of its creative software suite, including Sound Forge Pro, to Magix GmbH & Co. Additionally, Windows 95 support was dropped after Sound Forge 5.0. The software initially had Windows 3.x support, but after version 3.0 all support for 16-bit Windows was dropped. In 2003, Sonic Foundry, the former parent company of Sound Forge, faced losses and tough competition from much larger companies and, as a result, agreed to sell its desktop audio and music production product family to Sony Pictures Digital for $18 million. Both are well known digital audio editors and offer recording, audio editing, audio mastering and processing.

There are two versions of Sound Forge: Sound Forge Pro 12 released in April 2018 and Sound Forge Audio Studio 13 (formerly known as Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge LE) released in January 2019.

Sound Forge (formerly known as Sonic Foundry Sound Forge, and later as Sony Sound Forge ) is a digital audio editing suite by Magix Software GmbH, which is aimed at the professional and semi-professional markets. 15 Sound Forge Audio Studio February 2021
