Editing files in Forge

What is the best way to go about editing a file in forge and
then placing it back in Vegas for a listen without
committing to the edits? Let's say I have a noisy file and
want to clean it up in forge (with non-direct X plugins). I
know I can save the file as another name but this gets to be
a file nightmare. If I save it and don't like the edits,
I'm screwed. I thought duplicating the file might have
worked but it is using the original file name so the edits
end up on both tracks. There is a tool that talks about
different takes of the same track. Could this be of use?

Also I noticed that a track that I added a tail with reverb
on a cut off sax part (to make it sound more natural)
sounded fine in forge but when I dropped it back into Vegas,
the "tail" part jumped out (volume wise) and sounded quite a
bit different! I couldn't figure that one; I mean its the
same file!! But it did sound different. I went back and
forth 3 times to make sure. Anybody had that happen or see
something I missed?

Doug,

This may be obvious, but its happened to me - concerning the tail
jumping out - maybe you've got some 'forgotten' compression on the
track fx?
If not its a bug, and I'd like to hear if others had this problem too.

Do you have the events normalize turned on? This may account for the
tail becomming louder.
