another bug...iZotope not responding....same thing sound forge pro 15

After installing SFP15, all okay so far; the cursor works in playback as expected; saving a project works successfully as expected; opening a new window opens with the previous setting maintained (e.g. 48k 24 bits stereo); and opening iZotope Neutron 3 opens and works as it does in SFP14. I should note that I do not use any of iZotope Elements products.

The cursor doesn't track across the screen during playback of audio (making it REALLY difficult to edit that audio). Saving an audio file doesn't stick. That is, the file that's open remains an UNSAVED file. Making a new file doesn't remember the last settings, but starts over with 2-track 16-bit 44.1Khz audio every time. 

This all works fine for me. My cursor works, saving works, creating new files remembers the last setting.

iZotope not responding...

Works also fine for me. I tested it with Ozone 9, Neutron 3 and Nectar 3.

I can't remember when I've seen a less ready-to-release version of Sound Forge Pro.

I am usually curious about new versions of SF Pro, I think it is a powerful tool with a lot of useful features. However, error messages and crashes usually prevent me from buying it. The software is simply not properly tested before releases (this was the same for version 12, 13 and 14 as well).

I have now tested version 15 for a few minutes. The "instant actions" RX7 De-click, RX7 De-clip etc do of course not work because the software comes with RX8 and not RX7. How can this pass their quality control??

...and where did the file-menu go? Uninstalling.

I do not have RX8 but I do have RX7 plugins from RX7 Adv. RX7 plugins open in SFP15. Have you done a VST search [Options/Preferences/ VST Effects (tab)] in SFP15 to direct those RX plugins to SFP15? - I had to do this for some VST plugins today.

I do not have RX7 so the error message is as expected when the instant actions are named "RX7 De-click" etc. I have RX6 which came with SF13Pro I believe, and RX8 which came with SF15Pro. I assume RX7 came with SF14Pro (which I don't own) and they forgot to update the instant actions in SF15Pro.

Unfortunately the 'disappearing file menu' issue from SFP-14 remains when 'Open default work surface' is enabled (Options> Preferences> General) and the redesigned batch converter has display issues. Magix is addressing these issues which should be fixed in the upcoming SFP-15 build.
I cannot duplicate the iZotope issue.

If you uninstall RX7 I guess the same thing will happen to you. You probably have RX7 installed on your computer from an earlier version of SFPro or for other reasons. But SFPro 15 does not come with RX7, but RX8. The instant action script does not work with RX8.

Well, sorry for hijacking the thread, I will stop now.

The slow loading times with Izotope plugins and others can be corrected by installing the PACE licensing manager ( Ilok Manager ) : https://www.paceap.com/pace-management.html

been using iZotope RX 8 Audio Advanced 8.10.544

seems to work better than item included with sf installation

Ozone Elements (included with SF) loads slightly slower than most other plug-ins, but not enough to be an annoyance and there are no other issues (at least in my experience on multiple PCs),

my favorites ...

for what it's worth I've been using Fab Filter and iZotope plug-ins with success but SF15 has 'winked' out of existence three times today. SF15 just stops running with no dialog box or anything. Once it wasn't the app in focus, it was just gone. Like someone above I used a DOS 3.1 version of Sound Forge so it has been my go to tool since 1984? And releases have been stable. I clung to SF10 for the plug-in implementation but with so many 64 bit plug-ins I finally caved and I am trying to use SF 15. The 'new' batch converter seems a mess and I really need it to work. So, the cursor is moving, files are loading and saving but there is a fair amount of weirdness that I don't usually attribute to Sound Forge.

This thread was created in 2021. Please do not resurrect such old threads, especially when you have made a similar post to another thread. Hence, your post here has been hidden.

Also, please be aware these are user to user forums, there are no Magix staff here and, given that version 17 has now been released I think it highly unlikely that any further patches will be released for version 15.
