Audio is corrupted when exporting as wav

Tencryn wrote on 12/19/2019, 7:59 AM

I'm wanting to open my audio tracks in an audio editor but I'm having some troubles. I'm right clicking an audio clip and selecting "open copy in audio editor" in order to generate the wav file and to edit in audacity.

The problem is that the generated wav file's playback is incredibly slow in any program I open it in. I can render an entire track as wav and it will playback fine.

Does anyone know what the issue may be? I am using VEGAS Pro 15.0

s there a special reason you want to open it in Audacity and not let it render in VPro 15 to a Microsoft wave file?

It's more the convenience than anything else, it's not strictly necessary. It replaces the clip with the created wav file which is essentially what I'd have to do manually if I rendered the track to wav (which I can confirm does sound as it should). It seems as if I'd have to manually do it, at least for the time being.

Regardless of the process that one takes to edit audio, the feature "open copy in audio editor" should create a wav file that is not corrupted. I've seen YouTube videos of people editing audio in this exact method and it works fine for them so either there is a bug with VEGAS Pro 15.0 or there is a potential setting that needs to be changed.

You could try rendering the file to a new track @ 48 or 44.1k and see if that opens in Audacity Sample rate is usually the issue when an audio playback is slow (or fast). Vegas can playback different many different sample rates, even on the same track and timeline. Many others have to be set, or can only playback 48k or 44.1kHz. Can you post the MediaInfo of the audio file?

btw, I would use not use an inferior multi-track application when the VP's integrated DAW is available. About the only thing it cannot do is MIDI and native side-chaining.
