Should I Buy?

Hi. Now that I've got my video archive sorted, I'm wanting to buy the latest Vegas Pro 22 Suite, but I'm finding difficulty in confirming that the problem with audio has been solved. I've had Vegas Pro 19, but I have been using Sony Vegas Movie Studio 12 Platinum for the last couple of years, as Vegas Pro is completely unusable with the audio problems, i.e. pops and clicks or random sections of audio suddenly appearing on the timeline.

I would have thought that Magix would have made a big song and dance about it if they'd solved the audio issue, but I can't find any such announcement. I'm ready to buy 22, but I'm certainly not going to unless I can be certain they've cured the problem. If it's still there, I shall have no alternative but to look for an alternative programme. Anyone know the answer?

Colin.

@Colin-Anderton Hi,

Since VP21 (300) big improvements have been made with playback & rendering speed, esp with the more modern/recent MP4 HEVC files.

I've read most of the comments over the last 5yrs or so (since VP18), there was a period where audio pops etc were quite prevalent on the forum but in the last couple of yrs I've hardly noticed any comments, there's a few posts about audio but very few reg the latest version of VP.

PS, for me VP18 & 19 were lets say crap, crashing quite often. VP21 (300) up to the recent VP22 are a massive improvement overall, very rarely do they crash for me + there's also preview zooming, adjustment events..

I haven't seen complaints about this in a while and it appears to have been solved in 21.187.

I have not experienced of those issues with 21 and 22.
You can try out the Vegas 22 trial version for yo'self. If you do decide to purchase a license, uninstalling the trial version is not necessary,. just enter your new activation serial and there will be no limitations.

@Colin-Anderton

Maybe you should wait until Vegas Pro 23 will be released, probabably in a couple of months.

The easiest thing to do is to download a trial of VEGAS Pro 22 and test your project out. It's free, quick and you have no obligation to buy if it is not working for you.

Thank you all for your helpful advice.

VegasDerek - I've done as you suggest, and I've started testing it out. No problems so far....
