Working with projects

When you save a project file, Sound Forge Pro creates a .forgeproj archive containing your editing history, all associated media, and temporary files created by your editing operations.

A project file is not a multimedia file, but a portable snapshot of the entire editing history of a file — you can edit your project at any time without worrying about corrupting your source files. Project files are also easy to transfer between computers for editing on the go.

You can render a project file to a new multimedia file at any time by choosing Save As from the File menu. For more information, see "Saving a file with a new name or format."


  1. Click anywhere in the tab to select it.

  2. Choose File > Save As.

  3. Type a name in the Save As box to identify your file.

  4. Choose a location from the Where drop-down list to choose where you want to save your file.

  5. From the Format drop-down list, choose Sound Forge Pro Project.

  6. Click the Save button.
