yes i know that. that is what i am trying to avoid doing. i want to set it to export and walk away, not sit there and have to solo a track, render, solo a track, render, solo a track, render, solo a track, render, ... get my drift?

Yeah - I get your drift. It's called mixdown. You are already in multitrack mode....how else are you going to print your effects to a new track if your don't solo the channel and go to town? There are too many other things that can be going on in Vegas to just "set it to export and walk away". What if I have an effect on a bus and three tracks are being fed to the bus? Of if the master fader has a specific effect on it...the only way to get around this it by soloing the channel and bouncing it down.

Acid is NOT a multitracker (despite what some others will say about it) and as such has the "Export each track to separate file option". The key word there is "Export" as in "Leave Acid behind and pick up my project somewhere else". The whole point of that feature is to create a framework of wave files to bring into a multitrack environment like Vegas and then use Vegase to continue to add things to the framework. "Export" from Vegas means taking all of your project parts and rendering them to a single file. As in - "Leave Vegas permanently and listen to your composite file somewhere else". "Render to New Track" is not an export - it's an internal bounce and that looks like your only option here that I can see.

Go File > Render As > Template > Multiple Mono/Multiple Stereo WAV files

I've had this problem too when I want to share work with people
who aren't using Vegas. Since I can't time stamp events I have to
solo each track and render it as a separate file.
And it is time consuming.

Wish there was a way to make it quicker with Vegas 2.0.

Again,

Doesn't File > Render As > Template > Multiple Mono/Multiple Stereo WAV files do what you want?

edna6284,

I never even knew this existed. I guess I had better look around some more. Does it take effects buses and the like into account during the render?

Cuzin B

I actually don't know anything about it...but it's worth a try. I can't imagine Vegas being designed to not do this, as it would be impossible to migrate projects to other systems otherwise. If you try it, please let us know how it worked.

Render As > Template > Multiple Mono/Multiple Stereo WAV files
renders each bus as a separate file with track and bus effects
but not each track as a separate file.

A workaround is to asign each track to a different bus.
Not too time consuming. I know, but it would be nice to do it in
one step. And well, I'm sure there are people that have more
tracks than the 26 buses allowed.

uuuh... ok! 1) i am not mixing down. (i know what mixdown is) ;) 2) i do not used internal fx, i use vegas as an editor and i want to put my edited tracks back on my adats for "mixdown". 3)i know acid is not a multitracker!

Lynn,

You could review what DoctorFish has said. Look to me like there is no way to do what you want except with buses. Makes sense to me - it's almost as if SF wants Vegas to be your last stop in the process.

If that's what you want to do, then you're asking the wrong question.

What you want to do is 1) Puchase a midi interface that has a SMPTE IN and OUT jacks on it, so you can sync Vegas and the Adats to SMPTE. 2) Purchase a Sound Card with multiple INS and OUTS. You can buy a 24IN/24OUT audio interface and be able to dump 24 tracks in and out from adat to vegas by just hitting play on one and record on the other. Each track has a output router, so you can route to individual outputs on your sound card. If you can't afford a 24IN/24OUT sound card then you buy a 8in/8out and you will be able to transer 8 tracks at a time, and they will be in sync with one another because you're syncing the Adats and Vegas with SMPTE.

If this is what you're looking for, then this is not a limitation of Vegas, you just need to purchase the correct hardware to accomplish this.

This is not what he's asking Red. I understand what he is wanting. If you track in Vegas and have events spread across the timeline, you can't export so that it renders the whole track from beginning to end (unless of course you do each track individually through 'render to new track', which as he states is very time consuming). This way you would have long tracks, all the same length to bring to another system. Import and line them would be a breeze. I know this limitation because I'd like to have it too.

I have another musician/engineer who has a mac system and I would like to share full length .wav or any other files for him to experiment with the mixes. I just want raw footage, not effected stuff.

Wish Vegas could do it.
