Should I remove the the audio fx plug-ins? Like noise gate, equalizer, and compressor? Do I need those plugins? I think that's to Improve audio when you import in timeline. I'm trying to render a still image music video but I want to the still image video to sound just like the mp3 file when I render it lossless. Can someone help me I don't think I should use the audio fx plug-ins to improve the audio when the original audio format sound very high quality. I want to render a still image video with lossless sound can someone help me please? A lossless still image video without losing the original sound quality from original audio format

@Eddie-Valentin7330 - Do you think these Plugins are having an effect on your Audio?

Yes, you can safely remove them. I never use them and I wish they were not the default.

If you don't want them on new audio tracks, you can remove them then right click on the track header (the part to the left of the timeline) and choose "Set default Track Properties".

@Eddie-Valentin7330, as @NickHope points out, these have always been there and are a result of VegasVideo starting out (1999?) as a DAW from SoundForge, and, consequently having these SFxs already available to Audio Editors was seen, naturally, as a bonus.

By default, these are all set to "do nothing" anyway. You can remove them but it will change nothing. These are the most commonly used effects which is why they are added by default. I do frequently use Track EQ and Track Compressor so I'm glad they're there.

These have been the 'default' audio plug-ins since the initial publication in 1999, FWIW, there are better sounding gates, comps and reverbs available. When setting up a new version of Vegas, the first thing I do is remove the default audio plugs. Though they have no audible degradation in the default idle state.
If these defaults cannot be removed using the normal procedure, they can be in the 'hidden' internal menu. Change the "Insert effect" value fields to all zeros.
