Subject:SF7: beeping after EQ applied Posted by: aschwabe Date:11/10/2003 5:26:29 PM I've been remastering a few files recorded (just voice, and some music). When apply an EQ to the file, I get this very odd intermittment beeping. I've actually experienced this on TWO separate installations on two machines. Two questions: 1) Is anyone else experiencing this REALLY critical and annoying problem? 2) What is this REALLY annoying and critical problem? Thanks for any help... ps: I can send a sample file to anyone who wants it...

Subject:RE: SF7: beeping after EQ applied Reply by: Sonic Date:11/13/2003 9:51:20 AM Pre-Sony plug-ins don't recognize Sony apps as valid (non-demo) hosts and since they were installed to a different directory, they didn't find the newer version and went ahead and registered themselves when you installed ACID 3.0. But as long as ACID was still installed, they should have worked fine in Sound Forge. That sounds like a bug. FWIW, a simpler fix is to just re-register the plug-in .dlls (sfppack1.dll, etc.) in the Sony Shared Plug-Ins folder (drag-and-drop them onto Sound Forge, then restart). The new ones will still work in ACID. J.

I've been remastering a few files recorded (just voice, and some music). When apply an EQ to the file, I get this very odd intermittment beeping. I've actually experienced this on TWO separate installations on two machines.

Two questions:

1) Is anyone else experiencing this REALLY critical and annoying problem?
2) What is this REALLY annoying and critical problem?

Thanks for any help...
