The latest version of Sound Forge is 7.0 a. One plug-in that you can buy to go with Sound Forge is the Noise Reduction plug-in and the latest version of that is 2.0b. Here are the new features in Sound Forge versions 7.0 and 7.0 a:
What's New in Version 7.0 An ExpressFX Vinyl Restoration plug-in has been added to help you remove surface noise from recordings. Export to Net MD and Export as MP3 to CLIÉ commands have been added to the File menu to allow you to export your audio files to a Net MD ™ device or a CLIÉ™ handheld. Various improvements have been made to the Spectrum Analysis window: performance has been improved, frequency labeling on the x-axis is clearer, multiple slices are now displayed in alternating colors, and snapshot toolbar buttons display information about the audio stream and selection saved in the snapshot. Effect automation envelopes can now be edited from the plug-in interface, and ToolTips display envelope names on hover. A new setting has been added to the File Preferences tab. Select the Always proxy compressed formats check box if you want to create an uncompressed proxy (.sfap0) file when you open a compressed file format. Selecting this check box can improve performance on slower computers or for formats that cannot be decompressed quickly for real-time playback. The MP3 plug-in has been revised to allow you to encode dual-channel and joint stereo MP3 files. A bug has been fixed that could cause Sound Forge to crash when clicking in the Regions List or Playlist windows with no open data windows. A bug that could cause CPU utilization to reach 100% during normal playback has been fixed. A bug has been fixed that caused peaks to be rebuilt unnecessarily after extracting audio from a CD. A bug has been fixed that could cause problems with undoing edits past the point where the Save As command was used. If you open a Sound Forge project file (. frg ) on a computer that does not have all the audio plug-ins used by the project, undo/redo information for the missing plug-ins will now be removed. In Sound Forge 7.0, you were able to undo actions only to the point at which a missing plug-in was last referenced in the project. A bug that prevented metadata commands from being saved to RealMedia 9 files has been fixed. A bug that prevented DBCS characters from displaying on the Summary tab of the Properties dialog has been fixed. A bug has been fixed that could cause overlapping or adjacent timer events to be missed when using the Automatic: Time recording method. A bug that caused the Review pre/post-roll controls in the Record dialog to be available in recording modes that do not support pre/post-roll has been fixed. The controls are available only in Punch-In and Automatic retake modes: In Punch-In mode, you can review takes with pre- and post-roll. In Automatic retake mode, the post-roll control is unavailable. What's New in Version 7.0 An Explorer window with drag-and-drop support for pasting, mixing, or crossfading files or regions. Integrated, dockable Spectrum Analysis window (not available in Screenblast Sound Forge). Automated audio recording (not available in Screenblast Sound Forge). Prerecord buffer for normal and threshold-based recording. VU meters for monitoring playback and recording levels (not available in Screenblast Sound Forge). Clip detection and marking (not available in Screenblast Sound Forge). Improved fade curves in the Graphic Fade, Envelope, Pan/Expand, Pitch Bend, and FM Synthesis dialogs. Sound Forge project files. Undo past save. Effect automation using envelopes, including volume and panning plug-ins (not available in Screenblast Sound Forge). Compressed files will now preserve their settings when you click the Save button. In Sound Forge 6.0, you had to use the Save As dialog and choose a file format template. This is currently implemented for PCA, OGG, and WMA 9 files. Sound Forge creates proxy files (.sfap0) only for DV interleaved audio. Filtered noise, white noise, pink noise, and brown noise generators in the Simple Synthesis and FM Synthesis dialogs. An End Frequency control in the Simple Synthesis dialog to make quick work of sweeping a frequency range. Support for 24-fps, progressive-scan (24p) DV video files. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 2/06/2004 at 5:39 PM Ronald Glaser wrote: what is the latest version of sound forge and what are the new features and what other plugins and things can i get to go with it what updates are avaible for sound forge Regards Steve, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: steve1963 MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
