Lol, I have to add this one on the top of my collection of "stupid posts" list.

HELLO!?

Hello,

Why?, isn't a correct?, have you another better reply?.

Go with this way boy, I'm impressed with you.

Bye

I'm not sure what you said, but I was speaking about the original post. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Hello Rednroll,

I thought that your post was a reply to my post (follow my post).

Sorry for the mistake ;-)

Regards

I've been wondering if Sonic Foundry makes a program that can record music? Is it possible to record music using a computer?

Using a what?!?

TASCAM 688! It does 8 tracks on a standard cassette tape, record up to 4 tracks simultaneously, 20 input mixer with 10 XLR balanced inputs, 4 busses, 3 effects sends, 4 band parametric EQ on each channel, automated routing and punching in/out, MIDI sync, 3.75 ips with +/- 30% variable speed, individual track outs, DBX noise reduction, post mixing allows 12 live inputs and 8 tracks simultaneously .... etc.

List price was about $3800, but there's a broadcast & studio supply store near me that will sell you the one they have for $1400/obo.

No computer necessary. ;)

Well, I don't know Rednroll. . . in light of SoFo's most recent marketing approach with V V3, I think the post is pretty valid and certainly underscores many of the criticisms and concerns some of us have posted regarding SoFo's commitment to Vegas *Audio.* In other words, if a person isn't already quite familar with Vegas, as it stands now, one would really have to read the "small print" and probably ask around a lot to determine if SoFo actually offers a "multitrack" recording application (just as artfilms did here).

I have to agree with this last thread. For someone who may have just found out about Sonic Foundry and has a quick glance at the product names - who would even associate multitrack recording with Vegas "Video"...there has been a ton of posts in here from amateurs and pros alike who wondered the same thing.

Who would associate names like "Pro-Tools, Nuendo, Cubase, and Cakewalk" with a multi-track program? I see your point though, if you go under the "products" page, it lists Vegas Video in the "Video Editing" section only. It should be listed under the "audio editing" column also. This is all about "marketing", which equates into advertising dollars. I've seen some pretty bone head moves with the Sonic Foundry marketing, I think they need to work on that.

I originally just thought this was pretty humurous though, if you're making a post in the "Vegas-Audio" forum, and asking if SF makes a "multi-track" program. I was like "HELLO!, look infront of you". They do make it a little difficult to find this information, unless you dig into the specifications of all the products listed.

RednRoll,

I initially thought this request was a bit odd and I was going to blow it off as completely dumb, but then I thought about it for a while and I looked at what Sonic presents to the world on their web site...then I put myself in the shoes of someone who doesn't know the company like I do and then tried to answer the initial question - You know, at first glance - it was pretty painful to find out if SF offers a multitrack solution...it just doesn't jump out at you (and it should).

Take a look here http://www.sonicfoundry.com/products/home.asp and tell me if you see anything that resembles "multitrack recording". Vegas should be located squarely under Audio Editing as well as Video Editing...

SF is making a huge assumption here that only "Video" editors need apply - there are a ton of us who use this product successfully for audio editing everyday.

In the end - this question wasn't silly at all - it was a simple validation that SF marketing is missing the boat big time for potential sales.

I am a living proof of one of the new comers who got confused about SF product. I bought Vegas 2.0 because it was at substantial discount at Mars and the sales guy told me it would do what I needed to. I did not realize that it has video recording feature. The manual is totally confusing for some one interested in audio only, you have to try very hard to sift through the pages to find what you want. At times I get very frustrated but having invested money, I am trying to make the best of it.

I have to admit though, once you get used to it, Vegas seems pretty easy to use. Then again, I have limited experience.

Vegas is, by far, the easiest to use, the easiest to learn and the most intuitive multitrack AUDIO recording/editing software program on the market. (period)

(But why don't they just call it "Vegas" or "Vegas Pro" or "Splash" or "Media Frenzy" or ......?)
