HI Karl!
I am thinkin`of a mixtreme card and win2kn + dual PIII 500(now i have
motu2408, G400, Asus dual baord but only one PIII500, win98).
On4.sept i start a gospel CD production and i have to run about 30 up
to 40 tracks and each with trackfx and about 5 up 7 busses(including
1 up to 4 dx fx each).
have you checked a similar amount of tracks and fx and can you tell
me your experiebces.
thanks very much

Hey -
It's a known issue and they hope to have it fixed by 2.0b

Hi Walterius,

This particular machine has not been online long enough to really
stress test Vegas. The only test that I've run so far with the new
system was a previously recorded 24 track project where I just copied
and pasted the trackes for a total of 72 just to see what would
happen. I could not get Vegas to "gap" at all under this situation on
this machine, but I wouldn't put much faith in that as there were
likely only a few EQ modules in use.

Now that Vegas Video is back online in a studio environment I will
try to stress it to the max and let you know what I find under normal
operations.

I did use it in mid-session last night where I needed to comp a
couple of takes quickly and go back out to multitrack so the artist
could overdub on a keeper take ... it performed flawlessly ... there
was just no way to make it "gap" or the audio to get out of sync as
happened so often on the other system.

FWIW, here is rundown on the box:

Gigabyte GA-6BXD Motherboard (discontinued)
Dual PIII 550/256MB RAM
Maxtor 13 GB IDE UDMA for OS
Seagate 10,000 rpm ST318404LW 18 GB SCSI Drive for recording
Adaptec Ultra 160 A19160 SCSI Controller Card
Matrox G400 Dual Head 32MB (beta Win2K drivers)
Mixtreme PCI Card (1 only at the moment)
48X IDE CD
Matsushita(?)SCSI CDR
2GB SCSI Jaz Drive
HiVal Removable Drive Bay for Storage Drives
Win2000 Professional
Vegas Video 2.0a
WaveLab 3.01

By no means the latest or fastest of components ... we inherited it
because it was taken off our sister companies network as being "too
old and slow" for SQL work (go figure) ... however, the parts do seem
to put the power where it is needed for audio in general: a separate
fast recording drive, sufficient RAM, plenty of CPU power, and a
stable Operating System that lets Vegas do its thing with
multiprocessors.

I'll keep you posted.

KAC ...

Hi Charles,

That's what I figured ... the strange thing is that this worked with
VV 2.0a on our old machine under Win98?

Thanks for the info.

Yep ... and more quickly than I've ever seen. :)

All I can say is that it worked under Win98 on the old box with the
same options set. Charles seems to think it is a documented bug.
