With audio if you hold down "Cntrl" and drag on the edge of
an event it will timestretch or compress the audio, you can
then right click on the audio event and select properties
and tell it what kind of effect you want the stretch to
have, like if you want it to alter the pitch or have the
pitch remain. I believe this is similar to video events
also of stretching the event and it does a slow-mo effect.
Not too sure on this one, I haven't done enough video
editing to give good details on this.

Thank you for the reply. But my question is can you alter
the audio so that you can give it a "wind-down" effect?
What I mean is that things are going smoothly in both video
and audio, and then I want both to slow down to a near
standstill. I can figure that out fine enough with the
video, but for audio, I can't figure out how to change the
clip so the beginning of it sounds fine, and the end of it
is really slowed down, with the whole middle of the clip
being the "wind down" area. I don't know if that's clear
but I dunno how else to say it.

You can do this by plugging your output of your sound card
back into the input and then open up Sound Forge and hit
record. Now go back to Vegas and hit play and adjust the
rate slider so that it slows down playback, works quite
like putting your hand on an analog tape machine and
slowing the tape down until it stops. Sorry that's the
only way that I know of how to do this with Vegas.

There is no velocity envelope for audio (like there is for
video). You may be able to slice up the audio into brief
crossfaded events and decrease the rate of each subsequent
event- not a great solution but it might get you close to
the effect you want.
