I've just read the "new computer" thread here, and the most recent posts on the Vegas Audio forum (June 8, 2003 to present) in the "Is Vegas 4 really useable yet?" thread and (February 17 to present) in the "New PC advice thread. And just thought I'd make this comment.
I was hoping to hear (especially in the "New computer" and "New PC advice thread) from people who have stable, working Vegas 4 configurations, just exactly what hardware and software they're running. That way, I'd be able to build a replica of one of those systems, and have a reasonable level of confidence that it would work.
I posted a question along these lines quite some time ago, asking for advice on what to buy, and didn't get a single response (at least within the couple of weeks I monitored it). Interestingly, the recent threads I mention above, there seemed to be more specific info in the "Is Vegas 4 really useable yet" thread (regarding actual hardware configurations, etc.) than in the "New computer" or the "New PC" thread. But I was really hoping a few people would say something along the lines of "I'm running Vegas 4, with X-XX channels of Brand-X I/O hardware, This-or-that video card, such&such driver revisions, etc., and everything is rock-steady.
Is there anyone on this forum who has a stable, dependable Vegas 4 system, who'd be willing to give a detailed account of what the system configuration is?
And another thing - I realize that there are valid reasons to have separate forums for Vegas 4 audio and Vegas 4 video, but I for one (and think there are probably many in this category) want to be able to use the same system for video editing, audio editing and DVD authoring. So I'd especially like to hear from anyone doing that, who has a bullet-proof system, precisely what comprises that system.
If There isn't a single Vegas 4 user who will do that, I will simply not use Vegas.
