Processing Audio
This chapter provides descriptions of processing presets and previews as well as an overview of all functions
in the Sound Forge
Process menu.
Applying presets
Many Sound Forge dialogs contain drop-down lists of presets used to quickly apply processes and effects.
Presets are especially useful when learning Sound Forge, as they allow you to hear the results of processing as
well as view the control settings used to produce these results.
Note:
All information regarding presets in this chapter is
applicable to DirectX Plug-Ins (effects) from Sony Pictures
Digital.

From the Process menu, choose Fade, and choose Graphic from the submenu. The Graphic Fade dialog
