I had pre-roll set and operational in Sound Forge Pro 11. Have been using it to record successfully for a couple years. I changed PCs to a different Win 7 PC and installed SF and now I cannot get pre-roll to work although pre-roll settings/checkboxes are identical to the older Win 7 PC.

Hi IvanJ

I am not an expert in using Sound Forge Pro.

I assume you are referring to the Settings located here ?
Options/Preferences/Previews



Have you tried resetting the program ?
This will default all settings back to factory defaults.
After performing a reset, you will need to re-do all of your custom settings.

Instructions for how to reset here:

Have you read what the Help file says ?

Pre-Roll to Cursor
Press Ctrl+Shift+K to play the data before the cursor position for the default pre-roll length.

Notes:
To set the amount of pre- and post-roll that will be played when you preview a cut, choose Preferences from the Options menu and choose the Previews tab. Type values in the Pre-roll and Post-roll boxes in the Cut preview configuration section of the dialog.

If a selection is made the pre-roll will occur for whichever end of the selection is active. To toggle between ends of the selection, use the Home and End keys.

Choose Pre-Roll to Cursor to play the data before the cursor position for the default pre-roll length.

Hold the Shift and Ctrl keys and click the Play Normal button in the data window's playbar...

Derek
