Don't think so as SF is a 32 bit application and isn't coded for multicore
use.  All flavours of Sonar E.G. 32 and 64 bit are though and as for Winrar,
there's a 64 bit version of that which no doubt, takes full advantage of
multi core use.

Subject: [ddots-l] SF 10 and Quad-Core CPU?

Hi folks.

Is there any way to tell a program like Sound Forge to take full advantage
of the four cores I now have?

Just as a hypothetical example with lots of number crunching:
Let's say I want to down-sample 4 hours of 24-bit 96K audio. I start this
running, and Windows reports that I am using only 25% of the available CPU,
that is, one out of four available cores.  Is there any way to tell SF or
Windows to take a more brute force approach, and use multiple cores for a
single intensive process?

I guess that is more of a Windows 7 question than anything, as it would be
handy to be able to do this for other things, such as batch encoding or
decoding of large groups of files, making a particularly large rar archive,
etc.

thanks
Chris
