Hi Guys, as long time user of Vegas software, I wondered if it would be possible to glue audio bits together to make one long audio file? Much like you can do in Cubase.
I know you can select them and group them, but I have always found that a bit hit & miss and a little bit fiddly.
It's just an idea.
I don’t see why you couldn’t. Just place them on the time line, one after another, then export them to an audio file.
or render to another track
I Get what you are saying, but by glueing them together it saves rendering. It's all done on the track you are working on without having to render. It's a really good feature. But like I said it's just an idea for the pot. :-)
Vegas states that if you are rendering a project with the exact same properties as the input files, it will perform a "Smart Render" and not recompress the files. I'm not sure how or if this applies to audio only files, but I do wish they would work on this feature so that users can ensure they are in fact exporting without re-rendering.
I know you can select them and group them, but I have always found that a bit hit & miss and a little bit fiddly.
Why do you find it fiddly? If there would be a method in vegas for what you are suggesting, you would have to select the audio events together anyway... Otherwise how would Vegas know what events to glue?
Like always, there is more than one method to do things in Vegas; if you click + ctrl every event, then right click and the select Group > create new... I agree with you, that is kind of fiddly for sure.
But you can do it the other way:
While you are in the "normal edit tool", press D two times to swap to "selection edit tool" and drag the selection around the audio events you want, then press G... That's it!
