If you are talking about scrubbing or setting the playback rate to something other than 1.0, then you are correct and this is by design. When playing back at a rate not equal to 1.0, we bypass all FX processing. This has been this way since Vegas 1.0.

Peter - I know it's your software, but you're actually slightly wrong! Up until version 4, when you scrubbed Vegas did include 'in-line' track FX; other FX such as inserts were always bypassed. It's a shame this changed with V4.

it'd be quite nice to have to option of not bypassing (obviously a massive CPU overhead problem may happen) but for the future... Imagine having a speed up / slowdown feature like on a 2" tape machine! to be honest, that's about all I miss from the format!

Correct, Track FX were not bypassed. I was speaking of Mixer FX.

Why is this important? (Hearing FX when not playing at a rate of 1.0.)

If you have applied heavy effects on the track, especially dynamics-wise, the "original" signal might not be enough material to go by when you scrub.

I often scrub to find the exact start of a voiceover phrase inside a long sample, and the easiest way to do that by ear is to apply a ridiculously heavy limiter, so that when the noise gate kicks out you'll hear it. If I could do this when I scrub it would be a HUGE timesaver.

Logic does this, and it's extremely useful. Too bad the rest of their interface sucks... =)
