I personally think this update is a great thing.

It addressed the crashing bugs...which is really what I care about
right now. Especially being able to record 24-bit/44.1 16 tracks at
a time over a 1:30 length).

I'm sure all the other tidbits of problems will be addressed and
fixed (this based on what I've now seen with this update).

Some lurking bugs that still prevail:

- resizing windows (playback or recording) still seems to affect
(stutter/hiccup) the playback/recording process.
Again, this DOES NOT HAPPEN IN VEGAS 1.0B. It still needs some
attention and I'm sure they already know this. It is NOT crashing
anymore (as of yet) that I can see though...so that's good.

- when I record (say 14-16 tracks) at the same time....then press
stop and press the delete all button. I still am seeing the "blank"
tracks where the audio would have been.
I have to manually remove them.

- after recording successfully in a track (say a stereo track)...and
say OK TO KEEP it. Then select that tracks audio and DELETE the
audio from it....
Then I manually deleted (from the EXPLORER VIEW IN VEGAS 2.0) all the
prior .wavs I recorded FROM THE EXPLORER VIEW IN VA2.0 (delete all
the .wavs recorded from my designated RECORD TO folder).

Then go to re-record into that same track again...I noticed that it
wouldn't record into that same track.

I had to start a new session or close the track and start a new track
to record into.
Not a huge deal, but something that should be fixed I would say.

All in all I am happy cause I finally get to use 2.0 at least.


I cannot repro the other things found (like the guy who is using
Win98 first version). I am using SE and i think that may be the
problem. I think "he" should follow up with tech support on that and
not waste time in the forums too much with this.

thanks and all is looking much better. Can't wait for a final
release.

We don't need you're assistance here Irvin, you can go back to your
Nuendo forum and annoy them over there with your stupidity.
