I made a mistake... I bought version SF12.6 and only then discovered that it lacked that "Hammer" effect. Is there any way to add this effect, or do I have to put up with this problem?
@j-Drinda To my knowledge you can get your money back for 14 days. So, if you bought it recently, simply contact infoservice@magix.net or shop@magix.net and ask for a refund.
Besides that you should be able to simply use other compressor/volume maximizer VST plugins. Today the market is flooded with high quality plugins, even a lot of free ones are excellent.
I'm pretty sure Wave Hammer is only available in Sound Forge Pro. Not sure if this is worth the money if you only want to use Wave Hammer.
Thank you SP for you prompt answer. Unfortunately, I only discovered its lack after 14 days and so, I'm the looser and SF the winner, as always. - SF should offer plugins separately. Maybe I have to stick to Audacity because they even offer things SF12.6 fails to offer, such as separating and editing stereo tracks. I enjoy whistling to good music. Here's a sample of my twitter, chances are you like what you hear:
Where was Sound Forge 12.6 purchased? AFAIK, only current versions of Magix software can be purchased directly. Sound Forge 12 (Audio Studio and Pro) was the first Magix version and was published in 2016 after the acquisition from SCS (Sony). SF Audio Studio 12 was a unique build (pros and cons).
If you are referring to the 'Wave Hammer' Direct X plug-in, it was originality developed by Sonic Foundry and is still included with the SF Pro version. Wave Hammer can emulate the character of the classic UA 1176 FET analog compressor. The newer VST version (Wave Hammer 2.0) does not have the 'sound' of the legacy version.
