I have so far been unable to get the InspectorXL VST plug-ins working with 9.0d.

When added to the chain the plug-ins report

'Cannot open editor window.
An unknown error has occurred.'

I first noticed the problem on a rather messy XP MCE machine but can reproduce it with 9.0d running on XP Pro SP2 within Virtual PC.

The free Inspector also doesn't work.

Can anyone confirm this please?

Not answering your Q, but...
You have access all that natively within SF anyway

(in case you didn't know)

Barleycorn,

Since you sound like a home brewer I have confirmed that Inspector XL, VST, does not work in SF9. I will add that I have the older version and not the Roger Nichols version.

I wish I did. You need to have a closer look at InspectorXL (maybe at the manual).

I've been using Sound Forge since 4.0.

Thanks very much for the confirmation.

I too am using the Elemental Audio Systems branded version 1.0.2 but Inspector (the free plug-in) was the latest from Roger Nichols Digital.

There are no problems with either of them under Sound Forge 9.0c.

OK - so what are you REALLY gaining other than color coding choices, and an alarm?

Kennymusicman,

I think Barleycorn's point is that he has a VST plug-in that worked in SF until the latest update. Give him a break on using Inspector XL. If he likes it, he can (or should be able) to use it. Hey, there are compressors an limiters in SF too, but I like some third party ones too. It's kind of the whole point of supporting VST.

Let's get this thing fixed and back to making music.

NO - you're missing the point - I'm not attacking - I'm genuinely curious/interested!

Barley has this plugin, that may offer features that I hadn't considered and would be worth my looking into.

This will be resolved in the forthcoming 9.0e update (one to two weeks). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Inspector XL is well beyond what Sound Forge Provides.

I am still using 8.0D, I will dontinue to do so until I see better messages in the forums.

Detailed analysis and metering (as kbruff says, 'well beyond what Sound Forge Provides' - it's all in the manual), at more or less any stage in the signal path, in any application. K-System meters...

It's less useful than it might be in Sony apps because of the one plug-in editor window visible at a time limitation.

Incidentally, like Greg_M, I first read your post as an attack. Just as well I wasn't in a position to reply straightaway! Anyway, all's well that ends well.
