The box in which my SF 6.0 software came says the application includes "A Free Sound Effects Library" containing "over 1,000 professional-quality sound clips."

But I can't find these sound clips anywhere within the application after installing it.

Can anyone tell me if I do have these clips and, if so, how to locate them?

Note: If the sound clips are supposed to be included on a separate disc, rather than on the SF application disc itself, nothing but the application disc and the product serial number were in the box.

I upgraded to SF 7.0 via download and did not get any Sound FX either. I had SF 6.0 since it came out. - No Sound FX then either - but I did notice where it says I'm entitled to them. What gives?

Check the contents of your box again. It's a separate CD.

Well, I did check the OUTSIDE of the box, and I see that a separate sound effects CD is pictured in the back lower-left corner.

Not much to check inside, though, as all that came out of the box was a piece of brown cardboard, the SF application disc, and the card containing the serial number.

Trust me, that's all that was in the shrink-wrapped box.

Looks like I'll be calling Customer Service on Monday.

I am using SF Stuio 6.0e and they are on the application CD in a directory named "1,001 Sound Clips". There is no install program, just xcopy the directory to your hard drive.

Are you sure you're talking about the 6.0 version of Sound Forge?
My box doesn't have a separate CD pictured for the sound effects. It also contains more inside than what you've listed.
Was this bought directly from SoFo?

Yes, I have SF Studio 6.0e.

I placed my order through Amazon, which in fact had me buying it through J&R Computer World in New York, a company I've always had good dealings with. It came in a shrink-wrapped retail box, and contained only the application disc and serial number, as I mentioned previously.

You hadn't previously mentioned that you were using the STUDIO version of Sound Forge. I have the full version...therein lies the differences.
I'm sorry that I can't help you more than to agree that you should contact customer service.

You are absolutely right, and I thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

It is my fault for not browsing the disc before asking my question.

Mucho gracias!!

BTW, I decided to use SF in tandem with another product, the new MusicMatch 8.1 CD player/burner, to accomplish my imemdiate goal, which is as follows: I am producing sort of a "name that tune" contest in my community, so I'm using SF to clip out the music segments I need and then I use the other product to set up the CDs I'm burning, due to that product's ease of dragging titles around the screen and rearranging them as I want.
