                            Is there a vocoder tool that comes with Acid Pro (or                                  SoundForge XP)? Basically I want to record my lyrics and then run them through a vocoder to achieve something like Console's Fourteen-Zero-Zero or Eiffel 65's songs. If there is nothing like this included, does anyone know of a free program that will do this; perhaps CSound? Thanks in advance.  |

                            There are a ton of direct x plugins out there to choose                                  from. There is a company called FXpansion that has a vocoder plugin, although you may want to check with sonic foundry if you have any questions on compatibility with soundforge XP. You can check out their web site at http://www.fxpansion.com/, or you can look for other direct x plug ins at www.hitsquad.com. I must say though, that I can not guarantee how the sonic foundry products will react to some of the 3rd party plugins out there. And I don't know what their (sonic foundry) stance on using third party plug ins is. So be careful.  |

                            Sound Forge 4.5, Sound Forge 5, Vegas Video, Vegas Audio,                                  Vegas Pro, Acid Pro 2, and Acid Pro 3 will accept ANY DirectX-compliant effect (I have yet to find one that doesn't work). There are no legal stipulations concerning the use of 3rd-party plugins. They won't void your software. Sonic Foundry has no problem with their use. Nick LaMartina  |

                            I don't think sound forge xp will recognize plug-ins,                                  except for certain ones made by sf. check the product page on this site  |

                            Sound Forge XP only supports ExpressFX 1 and 2, not XFX                                  1/2/3, Acoustic Mirror, or Noise Reduction. Like I mentioned in the previous post, only pro-level SF products accept all DirectX effects. Nick LaMartina  |
