I love it when I'm wrong.

Trying to install Sound Forge and when I register it, it says I've registered it too many times and I can no longer use it. It says I have to contact Customer Support and get them to 'Reset' my registration counter.

I emailed them, no response. The toll free number they give out doesn't work.

Got a response via email. They "significantly" increased the amount of times I can re-register it.

Everything's comin' up Bub today. Oh yeah.

Alright, Bub!

You seem to be clouding the issue with facts.

IIRC 10 is still only 32bit.

It's in my Program Files(x86) only and since I'm 64bit it seems I would have installed 64bit if it was available.


Maybe I did not DL the 64bit version. I'll have to check.

I wanted to try Melda in it ... they have a 32bit version, think I'll get it and try it out.

Thanks!

Does it look any nicer though? That was the one thing about 9.0. The plug-in skins were so mid 90's looking.

I don't know about 9, I had (an uninstalled) version Sound Forge 5 when I updated to 10.

I honestly rarely use SF anymore since I went to WaveLab by Whineberg Steinberg. 

Here's what inserting Sonitus Compressor looks like

Just confirmed.

Sound Forge 10 is still only 32bit. I just downloaded the most recent update 10.0.507 and it installs in Program Files(x86).

Glad you did....the 64 bit float part I didn't understand.

There's absoulutely no advantage to be had through SF being a 64 bit executable.
 
It's not likely you are going to be running a 4 Gb sample library or some such through it or indeed having more than 4 Gb worth of memory loaded up at once of stereo audio files.
 
Of course some of the 32 bit plugins you'll use with will be capable of handling 64 bit floating point math internally anyway but that isn't a concern for an end user or indeed make any tangible difference to the quality of the output.
 
Funnily enough I use the free-ware Audacity for encoding and sample rate conversion tasks because it is lightweight, quick and simple and the results are every bit as on a par with the big boys.
 
That one is a 32 bit executable too.
 
I think many of the Sonar boys were keen to get 64 bit versions of their DAWs installed just so they could whine about the problems caused by bridging 32 bit plug-ins with it.
 
I can understand the 64 bit for those running huge projects but I can probably count on the fingers of one hand when it's been absolutely necessary for me to have run a project on a 64 bit DAW since Sonar went 64 bit many years ago now.
 
 
Man, for audio editors some people still swear by Cool Edit Pro/Audition from the time Adobe took it on probably a decade ago, that one is most definitely 32 bit and many people still swear by its usefulness and functionality over anything that's come along since.
 
Soundforge is still a good choice for Sonar users because of the DX plug-ins that come with Sonar still work in the Sony product and vice versa.

Hi Jonbouy,

The thing with Sound Forge is, you can't even load a 64bit VST at all. It's like trying to load a 64bit VST in 32bit Sonar.

There's only 1 VST I use now that's 32bit. It's a free Dynamic EQ called IQ4gui, so all the other VST's I use in Sonar that I'd like to use in SF don't work.

Yes but for those of us that still are both 32 AND 64 bit capable, that isn't an issue...
 
It's not my fault you deprecated all your 32 bit stuff...

Fortunately, it was only stuff that came with Sonar and I'm not out any cash. :)

One thing I miss ... is the fact that Sonar no longer supports the DXI stuff in SF. I don't know if it's because of it being all 32bit, or what it is. I was able to use all of SF's stuff in Sonar 32bit. Sony's Pitch plug-in is really good. And the EQ's, although quite ugly, really sound great. I think they are dynamic EQ's or something along those lines.

Speaking of having 32 and 64 bit sonar installed.

PITA to keep them both up to date with plugs.

Ever since I built my W7 64bit main DAW (except for a brief interlude where I uninstalled 32bit SONAR, bad call on my part) I've had bot 32 bit and 64bit SONAR installed. I've only had to go back to use 32bit once and that was to verify the settings in a 32bit only plug that I replaced in 64bit SONAR.

The next time I have to rebuild a DAW it's 64bit SONAR (and other DAWs I own) only and I'll install only (the very few) 32bit only plugs I own. IRCAM Trax, Drumagog, SamlpeVatiants(Tank/Moog/Tron/Philharmonic/Sonic Synth) & Acme BarGig's Headcase. One day these will all be 64bit I'm sure. 


The following are unlikely to ever be 64bit AFAIK:
Vogengo Boogex, SoundToys Radiator, Empress Tremelo, Elevayta Space Boy, Bluenoise Rock and Metal Kits, Ferric TDS (free), mda Leslie (free) & nusofting DeepBoard (free).
