First off I am new to Sound Forge so forgive me. I am also new to programming as I am more of a business man.

What I need to know is is it possible to run Sound Forge in the background (taskbar) or somethign of the sort and have it recieve wav/mp3 files on the fly and make alterations to those files and them save them again? I am not looking for major changes to the files just to smooth out the speech and make some minor FX (echoing).

Is there an SDK of some sort that I can interface with. If not does anyone know of software that will allow me to do this?

Vegas will already handle this without a script. You just right-click the audio, and choose "Open in Audio Editor". When you're done in Sound Forge, it will be added as a take over the current audio..

Maybe I should explain further. What I have is a small voice file that will be saved to a folder from another application. Once the this application saves this voicefile.mp3 into the correct folder. I need Vegas/soundforge/ or other software to see it and pull it in run a gain or echo on the file and then save it back to the same folder where it found it. All this has to be done without human interaction (by the software only).

So I need an application that will interface with my VB, C++, Java.
