I am applying a plug-in chain, and the first 60 seconds of the file become blank (no signal) and then the signal picks up after. I've never had this issue before. Plugins involved are REQ 6 (Waves), LA-2A Silver comp (UA), Capitol Chambers (UA), Oxide Tape Recorder (UA).
Hi @Colin-Taber, I do not have those particular plug-ins to test. Do other plug-ins and plug-in formats exhibit similar behavior. Unfortunately, Sound Forge has always had issues with Waves plug-ins. Magix is still responsible to support versions they published though.
You may want to try the BorisFX trial version of Sound Forge, which appears identical to (Magix) SFP-18 but with some bug fixes. BorisFX very recently acquired Vegas, Sound Forge and Acid from Magix. If you just purchased SFP-18 this year, Boris FX may very well give you 'Sound Forge 2026' for free if you ask. The Boris help center is here: https://support.borisfx.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
