Managing effects
Sound Forge provides several tools to help you manage your plug-ins, including the Plug-In Manager, DX Favorites menu, and the Preset Manager.
Using the Plug-In Manager window
The Plug-In Manager window not only allows you to add plug-ins and saved plug-in chains (pg. 172), but it provides a way to manage your plug-in files—to rename plug-ins, hide plug-ins, create folders, add plug-ins to a DX Favorites folder, and perform other standard file management tasks.
