Unfortunately there isn't a velocity envelope to correlated
with the video. What you have to do is hold down the cntrl
key and then drag the end of an event and it will stretch
the audio. If you then right click that event and select
properties you can tell it how you want the strectch to
effect the event (ie change length&pitch, change length
preserve pitch, and change pitch preserve length), you
probably want to set it for change length and pitch, to
give it that slow motion effect. Once you have that
property set you can play around with the actual stretch
time to make it line up correctly. The one bad thing is
that you can't select multiple events and stretch them all
at the same time (at least I haven't found a way yet), but
you can stretch the first one and match it up and then go
into the properties and look at the time difference between
the "Original Length" and the "New Length" and apply that
to all the events within the Velocity envelope area.

P.S. Also for you guys getting the flanging sound when you
do this kind of time stretch for "Change length and
preserve pitch", there's also a "crossfade" value under the
properties value for each event you can adjust, I found
the "150 ms-Even less phasing" works best for time
strectching music.

Hope this helps,
Brian Franz

I take it the Mixtreme is controled by midi interface with
the promix faders? You could send Midi time code to a
sequencer coming from Vegas and record midi data from the
Promix onto a sequencer track at the same time and then
reroute that midi data to the mixtreme and/or the Promix
when you playback the mix, which the sequencer will then
chase. You could even do multiple pass automation by
recording seperate midi tracks on the sequencer and do
seperate fader moves for each sequencer track. I believe
the Promix doesn't accept midi time code (ie smpte)like the
01V,03D, or 02R correct?

P.S. Just another way how having a seperate computer for
midi applications is a good thing :-)

in VV timeline go to the end of that clip and press Ctrl
while you drag the end of clip (using normal edit tool)so
it becomes longer ( when you use the Ctrl you will see a
wavy line under the arrows ) now do the same on the sound
track make it the same length as the video clip... you will
have slow motion with sound ...
if the clip is 1 min long and you just want the middle
10sec slower then you will have to make a cut at begin and
end of that 10 sec ....
using the Ctrl and dragging the end of clip to make it
shorter will make the clip FASTER then do the same for
sound ... the sound track will slow down/speed up but pitch
will remain the same in both cases....
