[RWP] Wavosaur editor, Forgot to say it is a VST host

Tue Jul 15 14:14:38 EDT 2014

Sound Forge's asio support is kind of glitchy and weird anyway. I use it 
because of my particular routing configuration (though I really don't 
need it much for that anymore,) and sometimes if I want to route Sound 
Forge into another DAW through a virtual asio driver (probably shouldn't 
ask why.)
I think, over all, version 7 is still the sweet spot when it comes to 
Sound Forge.
I have also played with Sound Forge Pro 1.0 on Mac. It's a strange 
hybrid, with enough shortcut keys you know from Windows, and other stuff 
that doesn't work at all, or completely differently, because it's a 
different operating system.
Interestingly though, the Izotope mastering sweet that comes with later 
versions is a lot more accessible on Mac, if you want to use anything 
other than presets.
