I use acid 4.0,, CDA 5,, video factory( don't laugh) did alot with that app and Sound forge 7.0,,( love them sonic foundry apps) I've been using the demo version of vegas 4.0 and I'm just looking for some insight and thoughts on using vegas as a master,, That is ,, loading up say 10 songs in vegas and burning a disk at once cd, Has anybody achieved good results? What might I encounter as far as limitations? I run wavelabs 4.0 on another rig and I'm experienced with computerized music composition,,,, Vegas for me would be another tool, say for doing masters with the option of including video ,,,,thanks for any insight.....

Vegas is more intended for multitracking. If you already own CDA 5 and Sound Forge 7, why are you looking for a CD mastering/burning application? I master my stuff in Sound Forge and CDA and don't feel any limitations.

Yes, Vegas can burn CD's in the manner of CDA but before you spend your money make sure that you need it, which to me sounds like you don't unless you're looking to get more into Video (Acid can handle one video track by the way) or multitrack recording.

sorry I wasn't clear ,,,I want to get more into video ,My video experience is limited to video factory and a few other apps.....I compose music for myself and for others on my computer, I also create the finished CD. I,ve been experimenting with video work along with my music compositions. My limitations as of now are that I don't have an app where I can load up 10 songs and have the option of creating and being able to edit a video. My main concerns are will I benefit from having vegas and what would be my limitations if any ............Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Vegas, Can burn in the VCD format, for audio/video combos. With 10 videos with audio, you might be running out of space on a VCD, although I'm not sure. Not really a VCD expert. Vegas can also render as MPeg-1 and Mpeg-2 and .AVI formats. To create DVD's with the Video and audio, you will need DVD architect along with Vegas.

Thank you for the advice,,, so what you are saying is that maybe DVD architect would better for me?

What I'm saying is that the Vegas+DVD package, which comes with the .AC3 encoder and DVD Architect, would be good for you. You will need Vegas to assemble the videos and audio and do any editing and mixing. You will need the .AC3 encoder, if you are doing surround sound. You will need DVD Architect to put it all together to author the DVD with chapters and menus, and then burn the final DVD.

Well, yes, that makes more sense. If you're looking to get more into Video, then Vegas is definitely the way to go. I don't think you'll encounter n limitations (audio or video), if any, especially considering it's a big step up fromVideo Factory. If you have any video specific questions, you should try the Vegas Video forum. Otherwise, I agree with Rednroll, go with Vegas+DVD-A.
