Lost Synchronization on Audio

Hello all,

I'm running Vegas Pro 17 on a Windows 10 PC.

When I load multiple audio tracks for a recording with separate tracks for lead and background music - which are perfectly synchronized with all notes of the song tracks in step, the sync goes haywire after I enlarge a track in order to see a closeup so I can make adjustments to some of the individual notes.

In order to get the tracks to once again line up, I must go into the tune and painstakingly lengthen or shorten every note to get both track notes to line up again. As soon as I return the closeup to its normal viewing mode, the sync is lost and I have to do this all over again.

As an example, let's say I have two different tracks with the same tune on each. When I scroll the mouse wheel to enlarge the track view, the length of one of the individual songs on a track changes relative to the other tunel. As such, the notes are no longer synchronized. It's driving me nuts and I am not able to record music with a separate background with both tracks keeping in sync.

I have lost more than a week on just one song doing this and it happens over and over. I'm getting nowhere and it's driving me nuts.

Can anyone please help. I cannot believe that Sony built Vegas to do this. There must be a setting I'm missing.

Thanks in advance for your help on this.

Gene

What type of file are your music tracks?

Just simple Vegas tracks that I have recorded and saved in the Vegas format. I also use mp3 but I can’t recall if they have the same issue.


On one occasion I removed the problem track and that helped for awhile. Then the problem came back. It can strike any Vegas track. Not sure about mp3 tracks

Again, when I use the mouse to expand the track, the tune on the track also expends as it should, but it also moves out of sync. I see it visually moving out of sync with an accompanying track the more I expand.

Could it be a setting or something I’m doing? Never had this issue before.

That’s not the only problem. The tune on the track develops intermittent fades and garbled sounds. So I have to delete and start all over.

Never had this issue before.
