editing in audio editor

bhodgson wrote on 11/14/2000, 4:20 PM
is there a way to open your event in your external audio
editor and audition the event post plug-in or edit with the
other tracks? also, can you do your stuff to it in your
audio editor and transfer it back to vegas without saving
it and reopening it? so you can undo the new effect or
change if it doesnt sit well with the other tracks? that is
if your solo event cannot be auditioned somehow with the
other tracks before saving changes in your audio editor..
thank you guys!

Vegas works very well with sound forge, doing all the things that you
have mentioned. Alls you have to do is right click on an event and
it gives you 2 options, 1 is "Open in Sound Forge", and the other
is "Open Copy in Sound Forge". So if you want undo ability, you
use "Open copy". Also if you have part of an event selected in Vegas
and you open it in soundforge, that same selection will be selected
in Sound Forge. Sound Forge also let's you do realtime previews of
plugins with a bybass switch. I haven't used any other stereo
editors with Vegas because Sound Forge works very well for me, but
the only problem you may run into is if you work in 24bit in Vegas,
you won't be able to directly open an event in sound forge, because
it doesn't support 24 bit yet.

yea thats the problem. i love sound forge, but since it doesnt work
with 24 bit files, i cant use it. what about another program? cool
edit, or wavelab? anything that supports higher bit rate? is there
no way to do it , other than do your changes in your audio editor,
save and then hope that event works well with your other tracks? i
love vegas, but if this is the only way possible to use your track in
an audio editor, that would be extremely dissapointing. am i correct
in thinking soundforge is not offering a 24 bit version? or am i
wrong? is there any workaround?

thanks for your reply brian!

We use WaveLab 3.0 as Vegas' "preferred audio editor" and it seems to
work fine under VV. We did have some trouble with previous versions
of Vegas not opening WaveLab due to command line parameters not being
passed, but so far have not had that problem with VV.

FWIW, about 99% of the time I just make a copy of the .wav file using
Window's Explorer Right Click/Copy/Paste so I have a different file
name, double click on it to open WaveLab, and then edit/process away
without bothering to open WaveLab from Vegas. The inconvenience is
when working on a specific section of a .wav file, you have to locate
that specific section again when WaveLab opens ... the upside is you
are damn certain you are working on a copy and not destroying a
possibly irreplaceable source file.
