RE: Sound Forge Pro 18 - can't change bit depth to 32

@David-Rees Which audio driver is selected in the program preferences? Usually, Microsoft Sound Mapper should work fine, in case this is caused by the audio driver.

RE: Separating Audio Tracks Video deluxe 2026 premium

It sounds to me like @Tom-Essex is talking in a Vegas dialect, since he has come from MS 17. No offence intended, Tom; your "upgrade" is actually a totally different program. A great program, but very different, nevertheless.

Cleaning reel to reel tapes

I have some old reel to reel tapes from the 1960s which have some sections where the recording has faded and sounds muffled. Is there any way to improve these sections? I've tried the normal cleaning which only gives a slight improvement. I want to

Hi. Okay, fine, that's what we pay for, not for nothing to work. But 1) the software is poorly optimized, for starters. 2) There are repeated sound loops in many sound packs. Very few, if any, dark techno loops. etc... and we could go on listing

Software is glitching.

I have SOUND FORGE Pro Version 11 (Build 299). Recently I am encountering glitches which make it difficult to impossible to edit my music. Fade-outs don't work. Sound stops entirely (even though I can see the graphic displayed on my monitor still).

RE: Is this the end of Sound Forge?

I tested Sound Forge 2026 and didn't find any difference. But...plugins like the free Reapper package, for example, only work on SF 12. From 13 to 19 (2026) they don't. And there are plugins that worked on 18 but not on 12.
