I am new in Vegas, i need to record multitrack, i have SB Audigy Platinum but in the audio reocrding device i see only the general input of Audigy (stereo-left-right), is there any way to record from the several line-inputs in several tracks separately at the same time, thanks.

You have to have a soundcard that has more than just a stereo in. There are several on the market ... the delta 10/10, the aardvark direct pro, etc.

Yes, but the Audigy has several stereo line-inputs (it has the external livedrive)

Goto the OPTIONS>PREFERENCES, select the AUDIO tab and make sure "WINDOWS CLASSIC WAVE DRIVER" is selected instead of "WINDOWS SOUND MAPPER" driver. This should enable all the inputs and outputs to be used on your sound card. Also, you should open up the mixer, then right click and select "insert bus". Now on those busses assign them to which ever output you want to route signals to. This will also enable a similar button on your track faders, to be able to assign tracks to which ever buss you want to feed it to. You can also, enable a track fader for record and then select the input if you have multiple inputs.

Do yourself a favor and create a Vegas project with busses for every output of your sound card and also empty tracks that are already selected for each input of your sound card. Save this project, and now instead of opening vegas from scratch for everytime you start a new project, open your default startup project you created.

The Audigy has only a single wave input device exposed to Windows. This permits Vegas to only record a stereo signal from it.

From the mixer for the Audigy you set which of the physical sources (or multple sources) are routed to the single input channel.
