Subject:A real problem caused by the need to have 4.5 and 5.0 installed for CDA

Sound Forge 4.5 apparently has a limit to the number of
plugins it can deal with. I own the Waves Native Gold
Bundle, many of the Cakewalk plugins, and all of the XFX
packs. When I get to a point where I would have more than
three menus full of DirectX plugins in SF4.5, NO plugins
are shown to be available. SF5 doesn't have this issue.
Since I don't tend to use the XFX packs in realtime, I
figure I'll just uninstall them to fix this... but this
presents a new problem. SF5 doesn't have any non-DirectX
versions of these processors, so SF5 is extremely limited
when removing the XFX packs. We either need to a) fix 4.5
to allow more DX menus, or b) allow the SF5/CDA
relationship so that we can uninstall SF4.5 for good. This
is an obvious problem and needs to be corrected in some way.

CD Architect is available in the "Tools" menu, and its
availability would not be affected by too many plug-ins
being in the "Direct-X" menu.

Yes, I know this. That is not at all my point. The problem
is, I can no longer use DirectX plugins in SF4.5 at all.
I'd like to be able to.

No, not censored. We were not able to duplicate this
behavior in house. We had seven Direct-X menus full of
plug-ins and they never disappeared. My suggestion was to
make sure that he has the latest version of Sound Forge 4.5
installed. Version 4.5 will not be updated anymore, and
since 5.0 does not exhibit this behavior, I suggested that
he continue to use version 5.0 to apply effects.

Update. I just received a reply from Scott and doing some
reinstalling cleared up the disappearing menus problem.

Thanks Ted for filling us in.
I was interested as I just purchased 5.0 and I was looking
into perhaps getting CDA.
I Do Not have version 4.5, So my question is ...Will CDA
work on the same system as 5.0 without problems? Have there
been any issues to be aware of?
Thanks again

I've been using CDA everyday with forge 5.0 on my system.
No problems except for when you try to open one program
while the other is open (4.5 and 5.0). It will ask you what
you want to do with the temp files it's found made by the
other program. Be sure to tell it to ignore them.
You will have to have 4.5 or 4.5xp on your system to have
CDA and where are you going to get CDA from? Do people
still sell it?
