VST effects are accessed and used in exactly the same way as DirectX plug-ins.

Considering that Sony’s flagship plug-ins (going by the Sony Oxford brand) utilise PowerCore hardware, Sound Forge’s VST support isn’t a moment too soon. Meanwhile, TC Electronics’ PowerCore and Universal Audio’s UAD-1 platforms, which use dedicated DSP hardware to deliver some of the best plug-ins available, use the VST standard to interface with host software. This offers no inherent advantage over DirectX support, except that there are far more VST plug-ins in circulation, including a good number of excellent free ones. Version 8 removes this DirectX dependence thanks to support for VST plug-ins. The downside is that the best plug-ins cost hundreds of pounds each. DirectX plug-in support provides a solution, allowing third-party plug-ins from Waves and others to be used inside the program. However, the effects that are central to mastering – EQ, compression and limiting – fall short of the quality needed for serious work. The exception is the Acoustic Mirror reverb, which, despite a basic set of controls, uses convolution processing to give excellent results. Sound Forge handles simple editing tasks, such as truncating, fading, looping and splicing, with breathtaking agility, but its effects library remains more utilitarian than inspiring.

Here is link to iZotope Elements Suite package: If you can understand my complicated explanation, instead of buying Sound Forge Pro right now (Option #1), get Sound Forge Audio Studio 15 and the iZotope Elements pack - that will be less than $100 in total. However! iZotope has a SALE on right now, where you can buy the complete Elements Suite package for only $49 (normally $199), which includes Ozone Elements, Nectar Elements, Neutron Elements and RX Elements. If you decided to get the more basic and cheaper version of Sound Forge (Sound Forge Audio Studio 15 $36 - $49), this does NOT come with RX Elements, but instead comes with Ozone Elements, which is a Mastering tool. I personally use this all the time - it's brilliant! If you focus on getting that tool, keep reading for an out of the box idea. This is a very powerful audio restoration tool. Sound Forge Pro 14 and 15 both come with an iZotope plugin called RX Elements - I spoke about this in my " Strap your brain into gear, as I try to explain this idea for you!

This gives you Vegas Pro 18 & Sound Forge Pro 14 now, then free upgrade to Vegas Pro 19 when it is released. If Magix will honour a refund and you then buy the $249 package (2 for 1 deal), that is the cheapest way to get Sound Forge Pro - an extra $150. Request a refund and then buy the 2 for 1 deal $249 deal for Vegas Pro 18/19 *I have edited the subject line to "Sound Forge Pro 15" which is the correct name of program.ġ.
