Reg, I am interested in understanding the equalizer business better. Which version of Sound Forge are you using? I have noticed the equalizer issue with versions 10 and 11, although, as I have said, I am able to click the 10-band option and then it works as before. I did not need to do this at all with older versions, though. Now that I think about it, though, possibly it remembers what I used last as I have just assumed I needed to click 10-band each time. I'll have to check that.
Also, some Sound Forge effects like the Wave Hammer seem only to be adjustable with the graphical Envelop approach. One can control compression with a parameter, but I have not found a way to create an expansion effect except by using one of the presets. I am not aware of any of the other programs that allows one to control expansion with parameters, either, though. In the old days, I felt I could manage pretty much everything with Cool Edit which became Adobe Audition, and even through Audition 1.5, I managed pretty well. They changed their display method with version 2.0, though, and much of the display no longer read correctly. However, over time since then, they have exposed more data with MSAA or UIA, and I know there was a Window-Eyes app that that helped quite a bit. When I have tried their demos, though, I found gaps that I did not take the time to pursue, but it would be interesting to know if anyone has much experience with the latest versions of that product with Window-Eyes.

I haven't yet tried Windows10. So, as usual with Windows, personal experience may vary. -- Reg <regw...@btinternet.com> On Mon, 30 May 2016 18:38:22 -0500 Steve Jacobson via Talk <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> wrote: > I agree with Lloyd Rassmussen's assessment.
