Stunner,
didn't mean to upset you, just coudn't resist!
When I installed SF it immediately appeared as the audio editor in Vegas, didn't have to configure it.
Which version of Vegas 4.0 and which version of SF are you running?
The only thing I can think off is something got screwed up when the install directories got changed from Sonic Foundary to Sony.

Try looking under preferences>Audio>Preferred Audio Editor.

That should point directly to the SF executable, did you Browse to it or type the name in directly?
If you typed it in did you make a typo?
Try Browsing to it, less risk of typo.

If all looks OK, make a note of where it points to, In Explorer browse to that location and double click that file, does that start SF OK?

I'm not old but I do think your an idiot for typing in uppercase Not only is it considered rude on any message board and an email fopaux, your already know it annoys people here and doing it anyway just makes you a jerk. I, myself, promise I will never take the time to help you out until you learn some manners.

I'm prepared to try once ...

One reason we don't like upper case is it's much harder to read, specially for longer posts. - If you're so oblivious that you want to reduce the chances of being helped when you have a question, it's your choice fella.

Thanks busterkeaton, gave it my best guess !

Stunner, man you are so off base its amazing. " THIS FORUM AIN'T 'BOUT DAT, IS ABOUT HELPING EACH OTHER. I AIN'T NEVER GON STOP IT " Any time you come on here and ask for advice, your asking for a favor. Going out of your way to be intentionally rude to those your asking to help you is no way to ask for a favor. To be clear: You are not "entitled" to get support on this board.

I only pray that your twelve or mentally handicapped cause there is no other excuse for your pathetic and immature attitude.

Folks, can the rest of us not help this guy till he learns a little common decency ?

Stunner,

You say this forum is about helping each other, not about using caps.
Well... just because it's a forum doesn't mean people are obligated to help you. And the forum exists because of the people using it.

I don't feel I MUST help anyone just because it's a forum. I'll help you if I want to, and in this case you are DEMANDING people to help you because it's a forum.

And in this case, I'm NOT helping you. Ask friendly and people will help you faster and better.

Ray, might I respectfully request you reconsider your penultimate paragraph.

Impoliteness is inexcusable from any individual. Period. Excusing a sector of our community as being exempt from good manners because of their own "learning difficulties" as a result of their own mental well-being, is, IMHO not a worthy comparison. I value your input on this Forum too much not to offer you my thoughts on this matter. And further, in not doing so would be disrespectful not only to you, but I would have ignored and, by that omission, in some way, reinforced a view of acceptance by that omission. This acceptance by omission or avoidance can often be the causal trigger for a society's creation of that society's morals and belief structure. This in turn can lead to the self same stigmatisation of a minority group that experiences the actual alienation, and the reason why a group of individuals can get further "entrenched" into a position of that same alienation in the first place.

I offer these opinions in respect of you and your wishes that all people are to be held in the highest esteem.

Yes, life is sometimes difficult - more often than not it is quite tragic. Let's all benefit from making this World a better place . . . I'm no Saint - believe me - just attempting to reduce some pf the levels of anger and misunderstanding, where I can, which could quite quickly escalate.

Are Forums the best place for behaviour modification programmes? I really doubt it. Do I think Forums can be a place where individuals may have their say and have their thoughts considered? - Most definitely. I suppose that's the best we can hope for.

As always, Ray, my very best regards,

Graham Bernard

Ok, I got the solution.

-get into DOS prompt
-Format C:
-re-install everything
-get updates

Good news: in all of the preceding operations, you can use caplocks with no problems (since you're "talking" with some HARDWARE...)


If you got the KL or WM versions of Vegas, SoundForge or Acid there's nothing more I can do to help you. There's been problems reported with these versions...
Jay Gladwell wrote on 1/9/2004, 6:09 AM
Grazie, not to be a stinker, but I have to agree with Ray's comments.

The fact of the matter is no one is "entitled" to anything, beyond the basic human rights -- life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We seem to live at a time when most everyone thinks, feels, or believes they are "entitled" to ______ (fill in the blank). I don't "owe" anyone anything, nor does anyone "owe" me anything.

How does the act of signing onto this forum guarantee anyone anything? If a person walks into a restaurant, are they guaranteed a meal? I don't think so. Is a certain decorum expected? It most certainly is! I have been in restaurants where unruly customers have been "escorted" outside because they refused to adhere to the expected code of decent behavior. Granted, restaurants are not "the best place for behaviour modification programmes," but it has to start somewhere. When a person misbehaves, he suffers the consequences.

Why should any of us be expected to endure someone else's boorish behavior? We shouldn't, period.

Rather than address those who calmly object to such behavior, why not address the individual who is at the root of the problem? For some reason that is beyond my ability to comprehend, we live in a time where the perpetrators of problems get more attention and consideration than their victims. I refuse to buy into that philosophy for obvious reasons.

The fact is, this Stunner character kicked in the door, as it were, and started screaming at everyone, demanding an answer to his rudely asked question. When it was pointed out to him that his behavior wasn't appropriate or appreciated, he basically told everyone to go physically abuse themselves. An individual who exhibits such behavior is not entitled to anything.

Excusing this kind of behavior serves no purpose but to reinforce and perpetuate such behavior. And that serves no purpose at all on either side of the issue.

Bottom line, Stunner was wrong and was misbehaving. Granted, Ray's closing remarks may have been a bit harsh, but sometimes that all people like Stunner can understand. Until he either (a) changes his methods of inquiry, or (b) leaves the forum, he can expect a continuation of the reception he received upon his initial arrival.

Unlike real life, this forum affords me the opportunity to add people like Stunner to my "ignore user" list.

Don't you just hate it when kids download hacked versions of the software and then when they install it and it doesn't work they come to professional forums and be rude to everyone about it.

VC, please re-read my comments. You have me totally, but totally wrong. I don't excuse shouting on this Forum. Nor do I think it is the right of posters to treat us with anything less than politeness. As for the Pursuit of Happiness, I could debate this with you for a long time. I'll stick to what I was requesting. Not that Ray changes his thoughts on the original poster, but to re-think his comparisons to the "mentally handicapped".

Thank you for your feedback,

Grazie

Grazie, I did go back and I did re-read your comment. Evidently I did misunderstand you, although I can't point to exactly where that was.

Be that as it may, you have my sincere apologies for any misunderstanding on my part. You are among those on this forum that I have high regards for (especially your sense of humor).

Fascinating! Your comment, "As for the Pursuit of Happiness, I could debate this with you for a long time", did peak my curiosity. True, this forum is not the place for such a discussion, I would be interested in learning more about your opinion in this regard. If you'd like, you can reach me at jay{at}gooddogproductions.com.

Thanks for your honesty and speedy response. As to your apology - accepted. Even not asked for, please accept my apology as well to sometimes writing in a very "dense" way. I try very hard to be explicit and concise . . sometimes I get there . . sometimes I loose the point of my own argument! Your comment, " . . .although I can't point to exactly where that was." - Jay, you aint the first, and as sure as eggs IS eggs you wont be the last . . but I'll keep on plugging away . . it's all I really know what to do - hah!

Yes I will email you. London UK here. It's coming up to 5:30pm and I'm on Galley duty tonight - anyone for lamb meat balls in a tomato sauce? I'm casseroling them with carrots and sweet potatoes . . mmm nice .. . smells good too! - So, . . maybe I'll email tomorrow, Saturday - yeah?

My very best regards,

Grazie . . . . ;-)

Grazie, aside from the fact that you made me look up the word "penultimate", I have no hard feelings whatsoever. I am only sorry that your may have found my post offensive in any way, to any degree. I am completely understanding of your feelings and will respectfully avoid any further posts by Stunner and consequently, any future conflicts. As this was not his first time down this path I felt that someone had to throw down the proverbial gauntlet and let him know that his behavior was unequivocally unacceptable and would not be tolerated. I was annoyed that after his previous, current, and continued disrespect of this board and its members that some well meaning members were still offering advice and help and thereby rewarding and encouraging his immature, defiant, and obnoxious behavior.

As for the comment in question, I do think that your interpretation is somewhat misconstrued. It was not meant as an insult ( I would have far more explicit and derogatory terms if that were the case ), rather it was quite sincerely the only legitimate reasons I could fathom that would cause someone to behave in this manner. For whatever its worth I would like it to be known that I spent many years working with the mentally and physically handicapped, both in Chicago and California, and while that is certainly not a free pass I do feel that my motives behind the statement were different than how they may have been perceived.

With that said, I apologize to any and all members of this forum who may have been offended by my previous comments. ( Do I need to point out that the aforementioned Stunner exempt from that appology ? ) As stated before, I will simply ignore any and all future posts by this individual and let the rest sort it out.
