Great release! I have complained previously in this forum several times about how loading VST plugins would delay previous versions of SF but this last release (17) has solved this problem in a smart way: SF is now checking the VST plugins on a different thread (like Bitwig) so you can start editing the audio right away. I'm writing this post after buying it and trying it on several files. SF is going to be again my go-to audio editor. Fantastic job devs. Thank you very much for listening!
