I started out with sf7, then upgraded to 8, been using it for years now, never used the scripts, just used it streight out of the box. Are the scripts really that usefull? I mean i'm sure there's advantages, but at least for me, the program is workable right out of the box; with some graphic labeling and window reassignment a good deal of it speaks... I'm just wondering if sf will go x64 soon so that we can load huge projects directly to ram... Even though i find myself using sonar more and more for stuff and sf less and less, so many won't need it later, who knows...

BTW, i guess i have to mention that you need to either use a raw recording, meaning streight off cd, or the highest quality mp3 you can find; when using low quality mp3's or any kind of compressed format, the artifacts come out like crazy when doing these kind of processing on tracks... Nowadays i just record everything as flac and then convert it to wave for import into sf or sonar. Does sf10 support flac yet?

I play around with different things from filters to band pass to removing channels etc to get something usable...

Thanks
