What new features would you want to see in Vegas 3?

Ok I want:

VST plugin support, or something like it so I can do real-time input plugins.

External midi controler support, so I can use my Yamaha 03D to control parameters in Vegas.

And I still want my Video Filter, "Garment Remover"!!!

If people can keep on asking "How can I remove vocals" from music or "When will Sonic Foundry develope this plugin that removes vocals?". Then I can ask to do the same thing on the Video side, thus my question: "Why can't I remove the clothes from Brittany Spears!?" It is pretty much asking the same thing isn't it?

LoL,

"P.S. Some of you people that are making recommendations for new features should read the manual
first, you might realize that they're already there. Especially the one's on being able to route a buss to
the master fader.....look into Aux busses!! or selecting multiple Channels and moving their volume together. I can route an aux send buss to the master fader, why can't you?"

You seem to have a manual and Vegas version different than mine. In my version, the manual - and the signal flow chart diagram - clearly state and show that you can't route the putput of an Aux buss to the input of another buss (i.e. output of Buss B to the input of Buss A - the main faders). An Aux buss can only be routed to a hardware output so that if you have the instruments grouped and routed to Buss B and the vocals grouped and routed to Buss C and then fade out the main faders at Buss A, you still hear the intruments and vocals even when the main faders are completely down. If you have a way to have a separate main fader that is not a buss like Buss A, I'd be happy to stand corrected.

How does "selecting multiple Channels and moving their volume together" solve what I'm trying to solve - the automation of the buss output main faders (not the buss sends) and the lack of real-time rendering (such as one has in T-Racks)?

In the meantime I've figured out undocumented workarounds for the lack of standard grouping by using an FX return with a dummy bypassed plugin and a muted buss as a group and I've solved the lack of real-time rendering by using Virtual Audio Cable but I'd much rather have these basic functions built in to Vegas and not have to buy external programs to achieve them.

Hi!

1. The real-time rendering (means ability to control the final product trough the rendering process)

2. Automation for plug-ins (changes of plug`s parameters trough the project playing)

3. "Vertical" interface ability (for best understanding, just image your PC display 90 degrees turned)

Hi boristsybin, if you use Virtual Audio Cable to connect the output of Vegas to the input of another audio recording program (Sound Forge, Cool Edit etc.), you can control the tracks in real-time while rendering.
