No soundtrack for narration

Hi,

I have just started assembling my first video.

In my Vegas Pro 8 window timeline window I have the video track and its double stereo soundtrack. Furthermore I have added an extra soundtrack below to use as narration track. I follow the interactive 'How to record audio' tutorial and specify a folder name for the audio file, check the microphone's audio level and click the main timeline's Record button. Seconds later I click the Stop button and a dialog with the recorded audio's .wav name appears. Everything seems to be ok.

However there is no sound 'waves' in my narration track and there is no narration during a test playback.

What am I missing? To me it would be logic that the narration sound appeared automatically (and was editable) in the narration soundtrack just like the original videoclip's stereo sound.

Thanks for comments and help on this

regards

Tor

You should be seeing a waveform as you record the narration. Vegas literally lays down the track as you record it -- WHERE YOU RECORD IT. You should be seeing it as it happens and be able to edit it immediately after you finish -- right there -- in place! Possibly your microphone record level is too low. Check that in Windows. Maybe this tutorial will help.

I''ve had this problem once or twice and found that the answer lay in checking out the sound etc devices in Control Panel (this also includes a couple of test menus to check whether you are making and, if so, able to replay a voice recording).

Good luck,

Richard

The only time I had a problem was cured by going to 'Options' and 'Preferences' and look at 'audio device'. For some reason, my default recording device was blank or had wrong device selected, can't remember for sure, happened long before I slept last night.

I selected the device and it was up and running.
