open file in Soundforge from Vegas

Hello forum,

So I'm working on a chunk of avi in Vegas and the audio track that goes with it needs help. It is a 16 bit 32khz audio file so I know I'm going to have to upsample it to 48k at some point so why not do it in Forge. I click open in Soundforge and the resulting audio files sounds NOTHING like what it did in Vegas. It's almost like it opened up a much lower resolution file in Forge for me to edit. I assume this is not normal behavior and I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong.
Any insights appreciated!!

Thanks,

Alex

You don't HAVE to use Forge for this- Vegas will resample on the fly, no interim render required. Just make it sound good (eq, whatever), and render from Vegas to the delivery formats of your choice.

Right, but I want to use Forge as I've gotten quite comfortable with it. I just want to know why it's playing back the file differently than playing it from Vegas. This has me really worried. I purchased this product because it supposedly interacts flawlessly with Forge. I'd really like to know what is going on.

But you really should let Vegas do the resample.... You have absolutely nothing to do, just set your project properties to the target sample rate.

Bringing it in SF for the resample is just one more step that could mess some stuff, better keep it simple.

OK, I will let Vegas do the resample, no problem. I'd still love to know why I cannot pull this file into Forge and have it play back with the same clarity and resolution that it does whilst playing back in Vegas. This is really not cool.

Thanks,

different soundcard setting in Vegas than in Forge maybe?
