I'm trying out HS2 and find when I import a .wav file made elsewhere, it
sounds terrible. In this case it's 48khz, stereo, 16 bit. If I create a
..wav file within Cakewalk and export it, it sounds fine in Soundforge, but
not in reverse. Sounds sort of like it's been seriously downsampled or the
like. Very harsh, scratchy. Maybe something I have set wrong?

I appreciate all shared wisdom.

Sounds like there is something serously wrong with the dithering. That is
the compensating that occurs when changing the sample rate.

Try matching the sample rate or resampling the import in a good dithering
programme like Adobe Audition before putting it into HS.

No. Dithering has nothing to do with sample rate conversion, only with
word length conversion.
