Effects, or plug-ins, can be used to improve the quality of the audio or to create special artistic effects.
Additional DirectX plug-in effects, both from Sony Pictures Digital and other third-party vendors, can also
be used.

an effect to the
DX Favorites menu (available only in the full version of Sound Forge), you can select it
from that location as well. For more information, see Organizing effects in the DX Favorites menu on page 177.
