Subject:SF7 & SF8 on same machine... Posted by: PeterXI Date:5/17/2005 9:03:22 PM Hi, Sound Forge 8's scrubbing ability is a godsend to me because I use workers on modified duties to assist with video production (editing VOs mostly) and Vegas is a bit overwhelming for them. Will SF8 have any adverse effects on SF7b when both are installed on the same PC? I'd hate to lose express Dynamics, NR2 and Wave Hammer functionality because I use SF7b extensively and haven't had any problems since 7b came outlst year. I have SF8 on a laptop with at home and love it. I used it to fix up 8 hours of conference recording without a crash. However, this is on an XP Pro SP1 machine, whereas at work we are running W2K SP4 on LAN-connected PCs. I just bought three upgrades for my day job studio but am a bit leery about installing them if they will compromise SF7b. What are your opinions? BTW: I haven't tried recording LINE IN with SF8 since that screw up a couple of weeks ago. I'll stick with SF7b for the nonce. Peter

Hi,

Sound Forge 8's scrubbing ability is a godsend to me because I use workers on modified duties to assist with video production (editing VOs mostly) and Vegas is a bit overwhelming for them. Will SF8 have any adverse effects on SF7b when both are installed on the same PC?

I have SF8 on a laptop with at home and love it. I used it to fix up 8 hours of conference recording without a crash. However, this is on an XP Pro SP1 machine, whereas at work we are running W2K SP4 on LAN-connected PCs. I just bought three upgrades for my day job studio but am a bit leery about installing them if they will compromise SF7b. What are your opinions?
