Using the Plug-In Manager
You have several tools to help you manage your plug-ins, including the Plug-In Manager, FX Favorites menu, and the Preset Manager.
The Plug-In Manager window not only allows you to add plug-ins and saved plug-in chains, but it also provides a way to manage your
plug-in files—to rename plug-ins, hide plug-ins, create folders, add plug-ins to an FX Favorites folder, and perform other standard file
management tasks.

Applying a plug-in or chain to a media file
You can add a plug-in to a chain in the Plug-In Chainer by dragging an effect from the Plug-In Manager window.
1.
From the View menu, choose Plug-In Manager. The Plug-In Manager window is displayed.
2.
Select the data you want to process. If no data is selected, processing will be applied to the entire file.
Note:
When you’re working with multichannel files, only the selected region in the selected channel is processed. Most functions can
be applied to individual or all channels. However, since all channels in a multichannel file must be equal in length, functions that affect
the length of the data cannot be performed on individual channels. These functions include Insert Silence, Resample, Time Stretch,
Gapper/Snipper, Pitch Bend, and Pitch Shift (without preserving duration).
If you want to apply one of these processes in a single channel, convert the file into separate mono files (you can select a channel and
drag it to the Sound Forge workspace to create a new file quickly), apply the process, and merge the files into a new multichannel file.
3.
Select the desired plug-ins.
Note:
Effects chains—including packages created in Vegas or ACID—appear in the DirectX Chains folder in the Plug-In Manager.
