Applying Processes and Effects

Sound Forge Pro software includes many processes and effects that you can use to manipulate the audio in your media files.

The included audio plug-ins can improve the quality of your audio or create unique sounds. Sound Forge Pro software also supports additional DirectX and VST effects from third parties.

There are several ways to apply a plug-in to an audio file:

  • You can choose a plug-in from the Process, Effects, or FX Plug-Ins menu.

  • You can apply a plug-in from the Plug-In Manager using simple drag-and-drop operations. This adds the plug-in to the Plug-In-Chain of a data window for real-time effects processing.

  • You can use the Plug-In Chain to create chains of plug-ins that you can apply simultaneously.

Use the VST Effects tab in the Preferences dialog to indicate where your VST plug-ins are installed and which plug-ins you want to make available to Sound Forge Pro software. »For more information, see Preferences - VST Effects
