When do you anticipate that a DirectX version of HarBal will be available? I do all my mastering work in Sound Forge 6, and it would be a lot more convenient if a plug-in was available.

Beginning January 2004, Har-Bal will allow you to insert your own plug-ins into the program making it one of the most accurate sound shaping tools on the market. There will be no price increase.

It is important to note that it is difficult to “efficiently” support the mode of operation required for HarBal as a plugin, simply because the plugin interface does not give enough control/access to the source material as Har-Bal would require. It is possible to do something similar but the means of operating the software would be decidedly clunkier than the stand alone version.
