Hi there guys,
I hope I'm not opening up any old wounds here but I'm just trying to cover every issue with Vegas before committing 3 studios to a complet makeover based around Vegas. And following this forum I've noticed that this issue is a bone of contention. I refer to sending a panned track to an effect and expecting the return to be panned. As per the following thread. :

So I've been testing with V.5 & V.3 and found that in v.3 panning from the track is reflected in both the effect input and return, but this is not so in V.5 (or 6 presumably). Maybe it is an ASIO thing as has been conjectured.
I've also had a look in my O2R, and reverb in and out does NOT reflect channel pan. The return is centred no matter what the position. And when I think back to analog days (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) I seem to remember that outboard effect returns were always centred, though memory could be failing me.
I guess as I follow this forum I am becoming aware that a lot of users want music based features, whereas an audio post facility is where Vegas really shines. Apart from tape-style scrubbing (which I'd love), are there any other issues that I should be aware of?
I find Vegas great for sound for TVCs, films and vids generally. It's great to have the captured video on a timeline unlike other DAWs.
It's an excellent ADR tool as well. I've tried and tested Nuendo, PT and Fairlight and I still think Vegas eats them for breakfast.
I've also got to say what a great forum this is and great tech info is immediately available - Rednroll you're grumpy, but as we say in Oz you're a dead set legend.
