This question relates to using Vegas 3 for audio post production. I've been doing it for some time but thought someone might have a clever/better idea on how I can do something.
On some of the live multi-tracks I'm recording the audience starts applauding a bit early. The choir always wants a moderate amount of reverb to sound more like the spaces in which they perform. When someone starts clapping a bit too soon I have found that I can actually fade out all the track envelopes a bit early and the reverb on the Master bus will sustain the last note, allowing it to decay normally. The clapping is gone. This means that the same amount of reverb must be maintained on the whole piece, but the results have been full pleasing to the choir.
I'd like a way to do this that gives me more control.
I'm wondering if there is a way, with Vegas 3, that I could associate the reverb on the Master track, or maybe another bus (Insert/effects?), with an envelope. I went through the Help files and it isn't clear if and how to do this. I'd like to have all the audio going through the Master bus routed through the Reverb FX and be able to inject that Reverb back into the output using an envelope control. So, I could fade out the individual audio tracks at the same time as I fade in this sustained audio, thus extending the last note and being able to control the decay.
Any suggestions if and how I could do this with Vegas 3? I think I'd have a better chance with Vegas 4, but even on a 1 GHz machine Vegas 4 causes a lot of gaps when trying to preview audio from 6 or more tracks. No problem with Vegas 3.
Any help greatly appreciated!
