I have been enjoying Soundforge for many years and took advantage of the Version 12 offering primarily to benefit from the 64 bit architecture. I have run into a couple of issues which may be my fault but have not been able to solve them.

1 - Cannot find how to get audio input levels to display prior to recording (in "armed" mode) or while recording. Levels display only on playback. This makes setting up input levels very difficult. If this capability has been intentionally dropped I'd recommend restoring it.

2 - Unexpectedly, the Channel meter bars have disappeared, leaving only the window that's supposed to contain them visible on the right side of the monitor. I was able to use the hardware and loudness meters as a substitute but they will not dock in the right places. The loudness meter has moved itself to the top of the window showing the digitized channels and is so large it forces the the rest of the view down making it impossible to access any of the controls there (such as the arm/record buttons). I cannot find a way to resize or relocate this meter. It cannot be dragged or resized.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else has experienced these or similar problems and, if so, are there solutions? This is a new product so if these are bugs I'm sure Magix will soon fix them and I can wait.  In the meantime, I have gone back to Soundforge Pro 11 which works perfectly.
