Chapter 11
Processing Audio
This chapter provides descriptions of processing presets and previews as well as an overview of all functions in the Sound Forge® Pro
Process menu.
Applying presets
Many Sound Forge dialogs contain drop-down lists of presets used to quickly apply processes and effects. Presets are especially useful
when you are learning the application, as they allow you to hear the results of processing as well as view the control settings used to
produce these results.
Note:
All information regarding presets in this chapter is applicable to DirectX ® Plug-Ins (effects) from Sony Creative
Software Inc.
