  RE: MP3 conversion glitches
  I really do not know. Have you tried enabling the legacy MP3 encoder and trying that? Replacing the "mp3plug2.dll" file in the 'FileIO Plug-Ins' folder may fix the issue, I tried the <.dll> MP3 file from SFP-15 which worked, but I'm not sure

  RE: Found a bug in Music Maker with reversing audio
  @dpizza Reversing a WAV loop or some a compressed file format, like MP3 or OGG? I usually have no problems with WAV. In case you use MP3 maybe it would make sense to convert them to WAV first. For this I use a free tool like Xmedia Recode.

  RE: [Solved] Glitches
  @scott-james This can be caused by editing compressed audio files like MP3. It's recommended to convert them to WAV first. If you enable to always proxy compressed audio files in the Sound Forge program preferences, this will be done

  @Paul-Fegan If you open the Sound Forge program preferences while holding the SHIFT key, there will be an additional Internal tab available. There you should be able to activate the legacy MP3 encoder. This one might work better.
