Errors in Sound Forge 14

KLS wrote on 4/23/2021, 7:16 PM

New Vegas Post Suite purchaser here. I'm having troubles with Sound Forge 14. It doesn't save my progress whenever I finish editing an audio clip in the software. There's an error saying that it cannot overwrite the previous audio clip. I have an option to save a new copy, but the changes I've made still do not transfer in Vegas Pro 18. Is there a way to fix this error?

Also, when I try to open a copy in Sound Forge 14 from Vegas Pro 18, there's an error saying it's currently using media files so they cannot be closed. Can I have some assistance with this error too?

Hardware: ASUS VIVOBOOK

Processor- AMD RYZEN 7 3700U

Installed Ram - 12.0 GB

In Vegas Pro's Options menu, select Preferences and then the General Preferences tab (which should open anyway by default). Go to the 4th checkbox down and check that item, 'Close media files when not the active application' and Apply and then OK. This should allow you to R click the audio event on Vegas Pro's timeline and use the Sound Forge Pro link to open the audio track in Sound Forge Pro. You should also then be able to save your work in Sound Forge Pro back to Vegas Pro. I have, however, sometimes experienced times when it refuses to save back to Vegas Pro and its then a matter of highlighting another audio event elsewhere Vegas Pro's timeline so that audio event being worked on on Sound Forge Pro is not active event on Vegas Pro's timeline.

In general, if using another audio editor independently of Vegas Pro (i.e. not accessed via R clicking the audio event on Vegas Pro's timeline), make sure that the audio event is not highlighted on Vegas pro's timeline and that the 'Close media files when ... " checkbox is checked. If the audio event being worked on in an audio editor is highlighted on Vegas Pro's timeline, that audio editor is usually not going to be able to save it by overwriting because Vegas Pro already has 'ownership' of that audio event.

If the above doesn't fix the issue, please get back to the forum.

Same here - Vegas Pro/Soundforge Pro are sometimes a little bitchy

Same here, I often have to minimize and restore the VP window to load the new take or changes... but that is in VP-16.
