Feature tweak+2 bugs...

Say I have 3 vocalists doing a tune. I would like to be able to have any audio track stay "locked/hardwired" to a folder. ie:to help me keep things organized on my audio HD.

Ex: John,greg,kerry[tracks 1-3]...folders per respective names. This way I don't have to think about if I forgot to switch greg back to his folder before tracking or accidently recording kerrys take in johns. [making any sense?] You have a project folder...all I'm asking I guess is a "sub-project" folders on a per track level. No gui issues to change at all. Just routing memorization. Or is there a way to do this that I missed?

Also...the ability to set "default input" in the "Set default track properties---audio track properties" dialog. My studio is at the project scale so far so I use more single input/mono [just 1L or 1R]recordings more often than stereo. It will make things that much quicker. I can't see the "UI" people being that pissed over that...;) Sorry.

I can't thankyou enough for fixing the "tree view" from the "browse" switch when you goto route your audio to a folder. Before whenever you pressed "shift+left click" on the record button THEN browse you would get your system components always "condensed". But now if you have a project folder a few levels deep in a HD it opens up to that folder. No more digging through it...total pain.

I've found a few bugs along the way and will be reporting my findings. I'll post them here tomorrow. [really tired right now]

Thanks again.

Ed.

you can set the default input from preferences /default audio recording device.
Something i and others asked for and it was implemented.

You can set the default input from the audio prefs. In Vegas 4 you can even set lef or right vs only stereo in Vegas 3.

I spoke tooo soon.

For some unknown reason it stopped opening to the project folder a few levels deep [2-3] and is just sitting there in the "condensed" view of my system. Not sure why.

OK...I just flipped back to vegas to check something and it DID indeed work but it missed the mark by like 4 folders below the target project folder...?????? It seems to only "dig" 2 folders "deep". Any more than that then it just places itself on the parent folder and no further.
Please have this ironed out!!! If you guys can't get each audio track to record to its own "sub-folder" in the project folder at the same time then at least this way I'll have an easier time at getting it done.

Problem #2: Thankyou for implementing the use of my mouses "back/forward" buttons into the explorer and media pool[microsoft trackball explorer]. I can't believe my eyes...but there is one problem.
When you have the explorer set to "tree view" you have two windows:one for the tree of folders on your HD...and the window to the right gives you the content of said highlighted folder in the tree. The back/forward buttons work great in the left window...but as soon as I position the mouse in the right one I lose the ability to go back and forth. I would like it to remain working nomatter if I have my mouse pointer in "either" window please.

A big reason for this is because I don't want to use the "tree view" at all. Thats why I asked for the "back/forward" buttons to be added. This way I'll only have one window to scan through with my eyes and I can flip around with my mouse. Cool right?!

Problem #3: Now I've bitched about this before and have sent in requests so here goes again...Take a audio file and drag into the desktop,click on it,and hit the "lock" button. What happens? It totally becomes a "smear" of color...I can't even tell where the "peaks/valleys" are any more for reference. Please add a "black outline" to the waveforms that are locked so that we can still see what we are doing after said wave file is locked into position. PLEASE!!!!!!!! If you look at cubase/logic/sonar they all have some way of you to always see the waveform nomatter what.

Problem #4: When I try to set my "volume envelope" color to "black"...ie:all faders at 0,or all the way to the left. It won't catch.

Thanks.
