Hello,
I have some basic questions on rendering vs mixing down in Vegas 2.0. I have tried to figure out from the manual, but it is very confusing and they do not quite come out and explain with some good examples.
Let us say I have recorded 4 tracks, each in mono, L or R. I assign tracks 1,2,3 to Bus A and track 4 to Bus B and add some Fx ( I am yet to learn how to do the last step). Let us say that next I want to mix down the 4 tracks to single stereo track and create .wav file for the purpose of taking it to a CD burning software.
1. When I first open the .veg file of my recording, I see 4 tracks opening up. And when hit play, I see the 2 Buses A & B alive in the Mixer. So that tells me I do not have a single track stereo .wav file at this point. Right?
2. I tried ‘render as’, and it created another .wav file for me. When I played that back, I see it opening only 1 Bus in the mixer. Now is this the final mix down I am looking for? How do I know all my settings of the 4 tracks(pan, effects etc) are there in this rendered file?
3. Is rendering another word for mix down in Vegas? The way I knew mix down was actually playing back multiple tracks and recording to a single mixed track while listening to ANY ONE or MORE them.
4. Is there a different way to do mix down in Vegas?
Thanks in advance!
