    Excellent. I don't install 32-bit plugins when given a choice by the installer, so a lot of mine are available in SF Pro 11. Can't wait for the 64-bit version.
     
    I got SF as part of the recent Samplitude/Sound Forge/SpectraLayers bundle deal. SL Pro 4 was the biggie for me. I just hope the pricing on the upgrade is reasonable, if not free (I bought the end of December).

    tough call! SF was my goto audio editor since v3, but with the lack of support for x64, and the general lack of support I migrated over to Wavelab. I still prefer the workflow in SF, so I guess I'll take a look when SF 12 is released, but I remain skeptical.

    I really don't use it as much as I did say 15+ years ago, but I hope they have a decent upgrade path for those of us who got 11 bundled with the Samplitude deal a couple of months ago.  I use it just enough to upgrade if the price is right.. but not really if it's too much.
     
    Back in the early days of CW Pro Audio a nice audio editor was mandatory, but these days, it's more of a nice-to-have with the workflow I use.

    They call 'em fingers, but I've never seen 'em fing.

     An audio editor doesn't really need to be 64 bit.  The big boys like Waves and NI still install 32 bit by default.

    It does if you want to run 64-bit plugins. For me, Waves and NI install both 32- and 64-bit by default. I don't scan any of the 32-bit directories (VST2, VST3, NI). SF Pro scans some 32-bit directory paths by default. The NI path would need to be added manually.

     You will never exceed the 4gb limit in an audio editor so I guess that was their reasoning for sticking with 32 bit for so long.  The 32 bit version will open up in any 64 bit DAW.   The upgrade pricing will have to be really cheap for me to bite on it. Other than mastering a mixdown audio editors seem to have little use for me to upgrade.  I still use it for batch processing.  I've used it to raise or lower the pitch of a recording.  As for tuning Melodyne has taken over.
