Is this possible?
Quite often I have to synchronise two audio tracks that are very quiet (live sound recorded in different ways), and adding 50 dB through normalisation isn't an option. There's no time code - so I am assuming that I have to zoom in on the waveforms and synchronise them by visual alignment. I wish Sony Vegas Pro 11 had a feature where I could zoom in on a wave form vertically. I used to do the same job in Audacity quite easily - just click or shift-click on the y-axis scale to zoom in and out, then the sync is easy to do visually. In Vegas Pro, I have to muck around with temporary splits and amplifications, write down the horizontal shift, undo all that , then make a guess at the shift, and repeat the splitting and normalising to test. Is there a vertical zoom function? Is there an easier way to sync very quiet audio?
