Temporary files and record folder

Recovering files after a crash

If Sound Forge terminates improperly, you can recover all open and unsaved audio files not opened in read- only mode. When Sound Forge opens a file, it automatically creates temporary files that it uses to save any changes made to the file. The original file remains unchanged until it is saved. If Sound Forge terminates improperly, the temporary files remain on your hard drive and can be used to recover any unsaved changes made prior to the crash.

Tip: You can specify the folder used to store temporary files by choosing Preferences from the Options menu and

designating alocation on the Perform tab.
