Managing presets

Once you have created custom presets, you can use the Sound Forge Preset Manager to back up, transfer, or delete custom presets from any of the effects, processes, tools and plug-ins installed in Sound Forge. You can also use the Preset Manager to manage your ACID® and Vegas® presets. For more information, see Using the Preset Manager on page 177.

Previewing processed audio

You can preview the effect that a process has on a file by using the Preview button. This button is found in most audio processing dialogs. You can use previews to fine-tune effect parameters without leaving the dialog. More importantly, using previews reduces wasted processing time.

Setting custom preview parameters

You can customize the preview parameters to satisfy your editing preferences. You can save custom previewing settings for the current process alone or for all processes.
