Audio in Vegas

Editing a 24P project. Just beginning to use VV4 again.
If i have all my Video on one track & all my audio on
one track - How can I
1.) Adjust the volume of individual audio tracks
without taking them into SF and re-saving?
I can adjust the track but this affects all
clips.
2.) How come I cannot hear the audio when
pre-viwing through a DV source.
I am editing on my laptop so there
is no good way to monitor audio.
I thought the V+A comes through the DV
source?

You can use audio envelopes to adjust your volume in each track----Doesn't your laptop have speakers and a sound card?

Thanks, I see how to add an audio envelope but
it is for the whole track. Do you have to add
points for just the area you want to adjust or
is there a way to pick just one clip and adjust.
I also use Speed Razor and you can pick a clip
and adjust just the clip you want.

I have crappy little speakers on the laptop.
I was just wondering why the audio would not
preview over DV.

While the volume envelope goes across the whole track it only changes areas you set points it. So if you only want to effect some events on the track and you don't want to add tracks just be sure the portion you don't want to change has the volume envelope line at the center (default) position. The easy way is set a point just before where you want to alter the track, be sure it is dead center middle, then add the next point wherever you want it, then once you're done again set the last point to dead center middle of the track.

Vegas isn't designed to play audio in "preview" through the firewire.

OK, thanks

Note to SF - please allow us to RAISE as well as lower volume on individual audio events rather than having to use an audio envelope and hope we don't accidently move the volume of other clips on the track. Also, please make a way to "zero out" an audio envelope so we are back at zero without guessing.
