Clue: In the SMS NAB promotion "Powering your Creativity" banner graphic, the SF box reads, Sound Forge 9... or is it a misprint... vaporware or a buggy unstable version of 8.

I'd think it's a definite clue. Putting it all together, Sony usually launches products at Cebit (or whtaever it's called in Hannover), and Sound Forge 9 is listed as Vista compliant on the microsoft site (complete with build number).

My, albeit hopeful, guess is that we'll see SF9 launched during NAB in Vegas (which I'm already hoping to go to, but have schedule conflicts :-(

I just hope it comes out soon. I've got a new quad-core system running vista, and CS2 is a rocket on it, Vegas is good and stable...but some heavy processing for all the audio I'm handing would be a huge bonus (and I still can't stand the Audition interface).

look at this link from buy.com

supposedly for SF8 training dvd - but has the details for SF9 plus screen shots

"Application DVD which includes Sound Forge 9.0, CD Architect 5.2, Noise Reduction 2.0 plug-ins, Mastering Effects Bundle powered by iZotope, over 40 DirectX® plug-ins, Acoustic Mirror environment and microphone modeling software, and online help"

Now im a bit narked that I bought the Sound forge 8 and the NR2 plugin when now its bundled!

And also NR 2was bundled with SF6
Have I been taken for ride?

I wonder if I will qualify for a free SF9 upgrade because of it!!!!

Since it's a training dvd I wouldn't be suprised if it has only demo/trial versions of all that software. Look at the price, $85. I don't think Sony is going to sell all that at what amounts to cheaper than their typical upgrade price.

NR2 was only bundled with SF6 for a very short upgrade period, and only to qualified upgraders. It wasn't a general offering. So don't feel too bad about having missed it.

thanks Cheinworks that does make it feel better.


SF 9 isnt too far away it seems.
The cats out of the bag.
The screenshot looks very interesting,
so too the mastering plugins.

No sign of a spectrum editor...

Metering looks to be improved; hope it's good enough.

Hope it will be at last possible to view more than one plug-in at a time...

Polyphonic BWF are multichannel Broadcast Wave Files with timecode stamps in the metadata. It's the defacto standard recording format for all portable non-linear location recorders in the film and video world. Recorders made by Sound Devices, HHB, Zaxcom, Tascam, Fostex, etc.

Vegas 7 currently supports IMPORT only of Poly BWF files with timecode. What I would like is the ability to import them with timecode intact and also the ability to SAVE, EXPORT, or RENDER BWF files with the original metadata intact.

I see -- thanks

Have you investigated Wavelab to determine its capabilities in this area?

Just took a prefunctory look at Wavelabs website and although they do mention support of BWF, they don't make any mention of SMPTE timecode.

I'll be at NAB in a few weeks and will hopefully see where things are going.

Well, if they offer a nice entry level app like sound forge studio 8 that really has all i need, it's good, I don't need all the extra plugins and multitrack, i'll do all that in cubase + my bought plugins.

except maybe the noise reduction thingy they had in sf studio 8 (or improved version).. i've reestorated some small things with that and it was doable as a plugin
