Slow Motion Audio

DavidY wrote on 3/31/2006, 5:26 PM

When I stretch or shrink an event by using the ctrl key the audio does not sound like your normal slow motion or fast audio. It has a very tinny reverb kind of sound. Is there any way to make is sound the same way it sounds when you use the rate slider (the feature on the LH side of the screen under the tracks) used to move through your time line?

Under media properties change "Pitch change:" to Lock to Stretch. Get to that bt RClick the event.

It's a check box in the Audio Event tab.

Otherwise Vegas will try to keep the pitch the same and over around 10% shift things start to sound odd. Changing the algorithm can improve things a bit.

In your case however you want the pitch to match the stretch I think.

Just rerender to a new wave and it will sound okay. (at least, it should)
If you mean that the clip slows down, but the pitch is the same, then right click on the audio track, choose properties, go down to "Method" window and choose "Change length and pitch"
EDIT: Dang.....beaten by 34 seconds

That's odd, I don't see "Change length and pitch" under method, only "Classic" or "None".
Selecting "None" makes the event revert it's length, but the "Pitch change", "Lock to stretch" check box does the trick.

This is under 6.0d, wonder if that was changed?

Probably. I'm still on Vegas 4.0d. I've run across other changes too, but since I don't have it (6), I can't remember what they are now. Funny thing is, I don't need Vegas 6, but there's always lots of talk about the newer features and I don't know what people are talking about half the time and on top of that, I could give wrong advice or advice that can't be understood, because of changes, and not even realize it. (like I probably did, above.)

I've moved all of my video work to 6.0 but for the audio hack work that I do I still prefer 5. On my old lap top V 4 is still in active service for recording and capturing video. For fast audio work V6 just feels too sluggish for me. On my video monster not an issue but The Beast just feels like too much horsepower for basic audio tasks.
