Hi, sounds like a super beginners question, but can't find anything about this online and the doc I did find is either incomplete or pretty different from the version I'm using:
I've made a plugin chain to master a track, but how can I apply it to export the file with the effects applied?
Starting with Sound Forge 11, the chainer is modal. 'To apply the chainer Fx directly, select "Apply Plug-in chain" in 'FX Plug-ins" (aka, FX Favorites). If you need to use FX automation, use the timeline chainer mode and 'Save' or 'Save as' to render.
