RE: Sound Forge alternatives

@Olec, "broken installer" for 18 or 15 and do you mean you cannot install using the install manager or the unpacked .exe installer for the main SF application? .. which would still be in your 'Documents> MAGIX Downloads' folder if you did not

RE: Sound Forge alternatives

Use an earlier version if possible. I use SFP-15 a lot. SF 16 &17 had display issues using third-party 32 bit VST-2 plugs and the peak playback meters were messed up. The VST issue was 'mostly' resolved with SF-18, but other issues remain. I am

RE: Sound Forge alternatives

Thanks @SP. and @rraud. Appreciate the response.What's interesting is that SF15 doesn't have that value checked. And I've never had to make that configuration for SF to work. I've flipped that flag, will this and report back.
