Anyone else noticed this bug?

When <CTRL> dragging envelope points up and down (for fine adjustment), their behaviour can be erratic if they line up with the join between 2 events. Sometimes they jump up and down from the very top to the very bottom of the track or just flicker up and down very quickly.

I had this in 5.0 and it's still there in 6. Anyone else experienced it?

I guess that must just be me then :-(

I've got another bug in 6.0b that wasn't there in 5.0d. Now and then the playback of the timeline speeds up by itself to something like double speed. This usually happens after I've done something else like open a web browser and then come back to Vegas, or just left Vegas for a while. Reopening or saving the project seems to fix it. FYI I have the thumb button on my mouse mapped to <ENTER> but this was never a problem in 5.0d.

Anyone else getting this fast playback problem or have a solution for it?

I cannot recreate your other problem with envelopes but this problem I have seen. What’s happening is that you have Windows and Vegas sharing the same audio card BUT you have Vegas assigned to an audio rate other than 16-bit/44.1Khz (which is what Windows uses). So lets say the sound card is in 16/48 for DV audio and then you switch to Windows. Now Windows wants to make little click sounds in your browser when you click a link and it plays these at 16/44.1. Then you switch back to Vegas but the soundcard doesn’t switch with you and Vegas interprets the 16/44 as 16/48 thus eating bits at a faster sampling rate and playback is faster.

There are two solutions to this:

1) Disable all windows sounds. This is what everyone using their PC as a DAW does. Then your soundcard is only being controlled by your audio application.

2) If you have a soundcard in addition to sound on your motherboard, assign the motherboard sound to Windows and the soundcard to Vegas. Then when Windows wants to beep and boop, it will not change the data rate of your soundcard. This is how I have my PC set up. Windows uses the AC97 on the mobo, and Vegas uses my M-Audio FW410. (obviously it requires two sets of speakers, a cheap set plugged into the mobo and a good set of monitors for your sound card)
