Where'd the Sound Renders Go in V16?

Maybe I'm missing something but the render set in Vegas 16 seems remarkably truncated from previous versions especially as regards audio options--simply put, there are none (apart from a few selections in specific video choices). (While I don't use it, OGG Vorbis is also among the missing; maybe others as I didn't do a full comparison.) Anyway, point is my workflow is Dolby Digital dependent doing the "separate video/audio" thing. If these are gone, I'm at a loss because I use them to fine tune audio output. (If this is true, then it seems Magix is truly aiming for a purely prosumer market.) And, as before, the plug-in bundling is a bit of a mess. Best advice as given somewhere else in this forum is to ignore that salesy component and build your own NLE system around Vegas. End of sorta rant; to the meat & spuds I could use recs on what to do with V16's apparent lack of any sound rendering options whatsoever esp. as regards Dolby. Thanks!

I don't miss any of the audio renderers. All of them available in VP15 are available in VP16, too.

Are you sure when you looked at the audio renderers there were audio Events in the timeline? If in the timeline is no audio, no audio renderers would be listed. Same for video. If there is no video Event in the timeline, no video renderer would be listed.

So I WAS missing something-audio event on the particular project I was upgrading. Thanks for pointing me in right direction! BTW, the Dolby Digital mod suggested at https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/release-vegas-pro-15-inspiration-meets-productivity--108313/?page=4#ca670332 still works and yes, you don't get the error message.
