Best way to do this would be to group everything together (select all and press G, I think) and then stretch it as described above. There's currently no way to render a file in anything but 1:1 speed, and I can't say it's something I miss. I prefer to stretch / pitch manually.

Oh, but Audio pitch envelopes would be KILLER.

"Oh, but Audio pitch envelopes would be KILLER."

Would be a bit of a mental excersize to cope with one of those adjacent to another event *without* that evelope !

Tom - Another way I did in addition to Chien's "change pitch and length" property suggestion is to mute all other tracks except the one you want to slow down, create a new audio track (armed to record) and use the yellow arrow to get the slow motion audio setting you want and record it to the new track. Then just mute the original or "get rid of" the original slow down area when you render.
Another note to this - the "change pitch and length" property tends to sound...tinny or choppy...when changing pitch. At least that's the experience I've had, although it's quite easy to use.

Hmm, maybe I should explain my design idea for the pitch envelope. Separate thread coming up.

Can you record in slow motion mode????

First, sorry for the off-thread...

Second, yes you can record. Just arm the new track, mute the ones you don't want, and record. It's "internally" track-to-track, except you get the "slowed down" audio. Play the new track at normal speed and the audio is at the changed pitch.

Thanks everybody, I'm sorry I didn't see this info fast enough. I ended up copying the audio to Sonic Forge 6 and used the "speed" attribute while maintaining the same lengnth. I don't know how but I got it to sync with the video after pasting it there.

Hmm.....If i start by slowing down the speed then whenever i hit record it jumps to the original speed??

I cant get it to work!?

Anyone...?

is this possible somehow?

I would love to be able to record at any speed if its possible

"Hmm.....If i start by slowing down the speed then whenever i hit record it jumps to the original speed??

The secret is to open a second instance of Vegas and route the output of Vegas no.1 into Vegas no.2. You can do this either by simply using cable from your soundcard outputs to inputs, or your soundcard drivers may have the option to use the output as the record source.

That sounds much better.
The first and only time I did it was the more tedious way - starting Record, then using the mouse to hold the slider at the speed I wanted.

ah..yeah well i have done that but i thought someone found a way to dit and maintain sync and such ..anyways.

What's wrong with the "ctrl-drag" method to stretch the clip out? This maintains perfect sync between audio & video.

if i could record at slower speeds then that would open up a lot of possibilities.

Besides i might want to "bounce" several tracks at a different speed.

Say -12 on a number of pads and use that to enhance the original.

I have often started a tune and realised that it sounds great a bit slower/faster and being able to render or record at a different speed would be lovely.

"What's wrong with the "ctrl-drag" method to stretch the clip out"

cause you can't Ctrl+drag the audio backwards ;)
You can also do stuff like real-time eq/fx changes and record the output

I won't argue about the backwards thing, I'd be happy for a "reverse" switch for events... But EQ changes, honestly? Automation, anyone? =)

Well, I actually said eq/FX.... and remember, not all plugins are created equal (they don't all support DX automation). If you're using FX in a creative, destructive :) way then then live adjustment is great. and fun too.
