Honestly, the same can be said of Samplitude Pro X Suite, but you can easily use the same version for several years (Windows). Economically speaking, that's a wasteful upgrade path. I don't think upgrading Suite to Suite is good value because you're paying a tax for a bunch of plug-ins that haven't been updated in a decade, and which you've already paid for in the previous version you own. For Audio Editing and mastering, it is a superior option. You are better off getting Samplitude Pro X Suite when it's on sale, instead, which comes with the previous version of Sound Forge Pro, and all of the same plug-ins (and often SpectraLayers Pro).
Until then, I don't see much value in it when you can use a Free DAW and just export clips to a Wave Editor for editing.
IMO, Sound Forge Pro isn't worth upgrade off of anything v12 and later unless they decide to add a Multi-Track Workflow like the Audio Montages in WaveLab (or similar feature in Acon Acoustica). The next problem is, once you own the Suite version, you basically need to stay on the expensive Suite level for future upgrades because everything else would be a feature downgrade compared to the Suite version.Ĭan anyone comment on how big a jump SFP 16 is over 15? What about 16 suite over 15? Would you surmise it is okay to skip a version until some bigger changes come down the pipeline? SpectraLayers can be upgraded for very little during Black Friday directly at Steinberg, so there is no need to pay high prices for an upgrade at Magix to get the newest version. If you don't use them or if you already own them, that's wasted money. In the Suite version you will basically pay the higher price for the Magix/Celemony plugins and programs like SpectraLayers. I think this will make the upgrade costs much more reasonable. I personally skip two or three versions, for example I used version 12 and upgraded to version 15. But that will not justify the upgrade price for me. I think the only interesting new feature is the new resampling algorithm. Multichannel functionality seems to support more audio formats in the new version. In the normal version you will also get a some new loudness visualisations and a redesigned plugin manager. It's nothing special if you already own a similar plugin from a different developer.
The Suite version you will get a new EQ plugin.
