Just to clear up some misinformation here...Yes, Acid Pro, Sound Forge and Vegas Pro were products that were developed by Sonic Foundry and later Sony. They did share a common code base. They were sold to Magix in 2016. Initially, Magix only had the

Hi @Justin-Brummer you can try resetting Sound Forge and clearing the cache. 'File> "Reset all preferences and clear cached data" I do not think the 'Proxy compressed formats' setting affects encoding, though it often resolves MP3 playback

RE: where is spectralayers pro??

@WayneF-Dorothy As I see it, their marketing team is to blame here. SpectraLayers and 3D Reverb aren't part of the non-Suite version of Sound Forge. If you're lucky they will own their mistake and honor your purchase and you might get the licenses.
