I did a test and did a dummy voice over on an inserted audio track, I armed the audio track for record, hit the record button at the bottom of the track section, recorded 10 seaconds of voice over, hit the record button again a window appeared asking me how Iwanted to save the voice track, clicked done and the voice over ended. Saved the project and closed Vegas. Opened it back up and my voice over track was still there.

I'm new with Vegas but it seems to be working well for me.

Whom have you contacted that constantly tells you this here and how did they infer that it was your fault?

You should not infer anything.

If you have a set of steps that will permit us to repro your problem, please email it to me - peterh@sonicfoundry.com - or post it here. From the information you have provided so far, I have been unable to reproduce the problem. I am in NO WAY implying that you are not seeing the problem nor that it isn't a bug, but unless we can reproduce it, there is little we can do to solve it.

it's happened to me too. The problem is it's a very rare bug, maybe only once a day... and I can't see anything I do differently that causes it.

Some times it looks as if the cursor is ahead of the recorded file, if that helps at all... then the event just disappears!

There's another problem... when the media pool starts getting quite full, when you hit record it records a few seconds, then stops, then carries on recording. It's really irritating!

I found the solution to this most the time is to clear the media pool of unused takes or to copy/trim media with a save to an alternate folder.

My machine also seems to be freezing two to three times a day, and needing a hard-reset.

I'm not sure if this is a Vegas problem, so I'm going to re-format and try without any additional software or non-essential PCI cards such as firewire.

Needless to say it only happens when I run Vegas, and doesn't appear to be when I do something specific. Of course, it's a studio PC, and all I run is Vegas, all day, every day!

Yea, I've had this problem too. I think I've got it fixed, though. I beleive it may have been a buffer issue. My asio drivers (Echo Layla) defaults to a 512 sample buffer size. I recently rebuilt my system and put Windows XP on when the problem showed up. I switched to the 2048 sample buffer size, and the problem almost went away.
A couple of things I noticed.....
I never had this problem when running Windows 98SE. Is everyone else with this problem running XP (or maybe 2000?).
It seems like I have this problem more often while working on an external firewire drive, though I do occasionally have troble with the internal drives.
It seems like the shorter the clip I'm recording (especially small punch-ins) the more likely this problem is to show up.
Sound familliar to anyone else?

sorry I am inferring myself,..… no one said “It’s your fault”……


the problem is support try a few recordings and don't have any issues; what more can they do?

As I stated previously, just ordinary recording but it has to be at least the second time a recording is made when the track has been armed only once. (record, stop, record - without touching the 'arm for record' button)
I have not observed a pattern to when it may happen, it could be a long time or very frequently.

So its left at that.

It's fair enough because what can you do?

Except I'm left in a difficult situation because its very hard to record like this.


There must be something unique about my setup if it is a rare problem.

The worry is if a problem is not identified then there is no hope of a solution!
This has me concerned…

>>sorry I am inferring myself,..… no one said “It’s your fault”……
Never thought or implied that you did say this.

yes, I must have email records somewhere if I look.... but can not today..
would it help in anyway?

>>would it help in anyway?
Probably not. I am just trying to follow up on this.

Just to say, I noticed this problem also here.

I had it very bad yesterday. I wish I could show steps to reproduce it...

The Only thing I have different to most users is after record I've disabled all confirmation / delete boxes to speed the process.

if this is happening to you, keep the media pool opena nd keep and eye on the recording files as they appear.

The files are still in the media pool, but don't appear on the timeline.

Now this is a clue.

I'm not on an Internet computer very often; which is why I'm sometimes slow to respond.

"Have you tried running with the confirmation/delete dlg enabled? Does the problem still occur?"

It makes no difference if the dialog box is used or not. That was one of the first things I tried.
Like I said, an important note is the lost recording file as it appears on the hard drive starts in a different position than the record start point in the project

"Like I said, an important note is the lost recording file as it appears on the hard drive starts in a different position than the record start point in the project"

I thought this as well at first - but dragging the lost files from the media pool back onto the timeline, sometimes they're perfectly in sync, sometimes they're not.

One thing I have noticed though is this doesn't happen to me until I hit quite a few tracks, usually when I'm doing vocals (about 20 tracks by then)

I have experienced this problem too. The real oddity is that the file shows up in the media pool but not on the screen. What I've done is to delete it from the media pool before I drag and drop it into the screen.

Yeah, just yesterday I was recording two tracks of mono and when I hit Enter to stop recording, the first track's event disappeared. It was in the media pool, so I retrieved it there, but it went "poof" from the project. It's always a little scary. I've seen this more than once but I haven't a clue how to repro - maybe it has something to do with hitting Enter to stop recording as opposed to Spacebar?

no, I've had it when hitting spacebar too... never hit enter you see! Although I'm not sure if it's happened when stopping using a mouse... anyone know?

to me it happened wuth the mouse too.
