Automatically adding and organizing plug-ins

You can automatically add all the plug-ins on your computer to your FX Favorites folder and organize them by the first word in the plug- in name (usually the company name). This replaces any menu structure you may have created with a rebuilt FX Favorites menu.

1.From the FX Favorites menu, choose Recreate by Plug-In Name. You are prompted to confirm the reorganization of the FX Favorites folder.

2.Click Yes to continue.

Folders are created and the plug-ins are organized based on the first word in the names of the plug-ins.

Using the Preset Manager

After you have created custom presets for effects or effect chains, 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 the software. The Preset Manager also functions as a standalone application, meaning that you can use the Preset Manager outside of Sound Forge software to manage ACID and Vegas presets as well.

Note: If you purchased the boxed version of Sound Forge Pro software, the Preset Manager is included on the Sound Forge Pro application disc. If you purchased the downloadable version, you can get the Preset Manager on our Web site at http:// www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/utilities.

To display the Preset Manager, choose Preset Manager from the Tools menu. In the Preset Manager, choose Contents and Index from the Help menu for instructions on how to manage your presets.
