#### Non-destructive audio editor: mastering, restoration, spectral editing, AI

ForgeWave is a professional, non-destructive audio editor. It opens hour-long files instantly, never touches the original, and every edit can be undone.

**Instant editing**

* Cut, copy, paste, markers and regions, even while recording (M key)
* Unlimited undo and redo, projects you can pick up whenever you like
* Bit-perfect playback, scrubbing, meters, EBU R128 loudness with reports for streaming, broadcast and podcasts

**Mastering**

* 6-band EQ, compressor, true-peak limiter, multiband compressor, also on Mid or Side only
* A/B comparison with a loudness-matched reference track
* Album assembly with pauses, crossfades, common loudness and CUE sheet
* Streaming destination: what Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, Amazon Music and Deezer will do to your master, the peak after their conversion, and "listen as on Spotify"

**Restoration and spectrum**

* Spectral editing with time × frequency selection, Attenuate and Repair
* Noise reduction, DeHiss, DeHum, DeClick, DeClip and one-click restoration

**Local AI, no cloud**

* Stem separation (vocals, drums, bass, other)
* Transcription with text-based editing: delete words and the audio is cut

**And also**

* Node batch processing on whole folders, in parallel on every core
* Multichannel recording
* Export to WAV/BWF/RF64, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, OGG, Opus, AAC
* English, Italiano, Français, Deutsch, Español, with a complete built-in user guide

Free, including for professional use. No account, no ads: your audio stays on your computer.

**Using the snap**

* Audio goes through the desktop sound server (PipeWire or PulseAudio).
* To record from the microphone or sound card: snap connect forgewave:audio-record
* For direct access to the sound card: snap connect forgewave:alsa
* System audio is recorded by choosing the sound server's "Monitor" input.
* Audio plugins (CLAP, VST3, LV2) are not available in the snap yet: to use them, install the .deb, AppImage or tar.gz from GitHub.
