Sound on track muted

EP wrote on 1/5/2013, 8:27 AM
I have a 6 camera edit going on. I have a separate sound recorded that I synced with the audio of all six cameras. I have a problem with about a 5 seconds on the audio where sony vegas pro 12 mutes a portion of the audio track..about 5 seconds. I know there is sound on that portion because I open that portion of the track in a new project and it plays just fine. Is there something in vegas pro that can mute a portion of a audio track. I dont have any composite levels on for this track.

Yes, a mute envelope. Seems unlikely that's the problem as you'd see it....I think.

Yes I dont have that on. I can see the audio waves, just not sure why it mutes on that small portion. I have a lot work into this project. Was hoping to find a solution. I think its a defect in sony vegas pro 12.

A hidden volume envelope that somehow got tured down? Press the "V" key to see the envelope or disable the audio automation temporarily to ID if the issue is there.

I am pretty confident that vegas has a problem. Like I said. I recorded separate audio and synced it with the cameras. Then turned off volume of camera's. When I turn on the audio portions from any one of the six camera's they get muted on the same segment as the portion of the audio that I am having problems with. all 7 tracks get muted in the same spot.

I have been experiencing a similar phenomenon and can't figure it out either. It seems that another parallel track is the cause for this sound suppression and raising the envelope levels have no effect.

Check your audio master buss.
A volume or mute envelope in there would do that.

Can you give me some steps to check this. I am not familiar with the audio master buss envelope.

Thank you.

View>Audio Buss Tracks. Tick the checkbox to show them.

Note that you may need to expand / scroll the Buss pane at the bottom of the timeline window to see it.

I finally found the problem as you said. There was a small envelope muting all tracks. I was able to fix the envelope causing the problem. Not sure how that happend.
I appreciate your help.

If there were two tracks with the exact same audio, (and settings) If the phase was reversed on one track, that could cancel out ('mute' the sound as well.

Go on and right click on the track that has muted itself and on the Insert/remove Envelope uncheck both the Volume and Pan, that's it
