I just got Sound Forge 5.0 installed this weekend.
I am use to working in Wavelab... is there a way to process
multiple files at the same time in Sound Forge? Like a
Batch Process? For instance... normalize multiple audio
files so they all have a similiar dynamic level.

Thanks,
Ken

The Batch Converter was included in Sound Forge 4.5, but it
is being redesigned. It will be released later this month
and will be free for everybody who purchased Sound Forge
5.0.

How do I access the batch coverter in SF 4.5 so I can apply
processing to all the files in a folder?

This is how to use the Batch Converter:

1. Open the Batch Converter from the tools menu in Sound
Forge.

2. Go to the options menu of Batch Converter and
select "Conversion Settings".

3. If you wish to convert the files to a different format,
put a check in the "File Format" checkbox. To apply a plug-
in, put a check mark in the "Use Plug-ins" box.

4. Change the file format to the desired format, or select
your class of plug-in. The classes are the same as the
menus across the top of the Sound Forge window. After you
have selected a class, select either a function or a preset.

5. After you have set your parameters the way you want
them, click on the plus sign (+) to the right of the
words "Batch Script". If you want to perform more than one
operation in one script, go back and select another plug-
in, making sure to click the plus sign when you are
finished.

6. After you have set up your script, click OK.

7. Go to the file menu and select "Add".

8. Click on the 'Destination' button in Batch Converter to
set up a directory to put the converted files into.

9. Click the 'convert' menu in Batch Converter and
select "Run Current Script" and Batch converter will take
care of all the files that have been added.

Your post mentions "later THIS month", the date of your post being 03/12 - Did I miss something?? Of all
features, I miss batch processing the most. I am ready to re-install 4.5 just to get the functionality back.
When???

The Batch Converter was pushed back. I will post in this
forum when I have more information.
