Stusy,

and, perhaps, can be a little more of an audio slant to it...?

Could you be a little more specific? Vegas Video has a lot of audio slant to it now. Perhaps you are wanting an even tighter interface with SF6 and Acid 4, but now you can designate SF6 as your Vegas audio editor and you can bring a Vegas Video video track into Acid 4 where you can use Acid to score your video. The former Vegas Audio product was discontinued because it exists as a subset within Vegas Video. So Vegas Video is already very powerful with audio.

I am just a Vegas user like yourself and, like you, I am an audio enthusiast as well as a video enthusiast, so I am interested in your ideas. I myself want to put home-brewed video productions on DVDs and, like the commercial DVDs, I would like to be able to put surround sound on those DVDs. That means 5.1 Dolby AC-3, possibly DTS, as well as stereo matrixed Dolby Pro surround. So I would like to see surround sound capability added to Vegas Video 4. However, I think that would be overly ambitious for Vegas Video 3.0d. In fact, I have my doubts that a Vegas Video 3.0d is even in the works.

As far as the exotic high quality sound of DVD-Audio is concerned, I think that will be done more appropriately in Sound Forge. As I understand it, DVD-Audio will be able to go beyond 5-channel sound, and with higher quality sound than DVD-Video.

Hey Seeker,
How do you go about saving your edited SF6 file? I recently tried this expecting when I clicked "save" it would (like Sonar) save it to that original file automatically (without having to do a "save as" and find the original file on the disk and then replace it). When I click on save, I get the error "An error occured while saving one or more files. The file could not be created". Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Randy

Randy,

Hey Seeker, How do you go about saving your edited SF6 file?

So far I have been doing my sound editing wholly within Vegas, with the idea of using Sound Forge when I need to. But it sounds like you have uncovered an obvious problem. It seems to me that the Sound Forge "Save" should put the modified sound track back into Vegas. At least, like you, that is how I would expect it to work. Thanks for the "heads up". I hope we get this resolved so that Sound Forge can effectively support Vegas. Actually, the "An error occured while saving one or more files. The file could not be created" message has the smell of a bug.
