did some on-location recording with my laptop this weekend.
was pulling two independent 24-bit s/pdif signals, each into a separate vx pocket card, and each in a separate instance of vegas. I have done this many many times with vegas audio 2.0. I upgraded to vegas video 3.0 awhile back, but this was my first field outing with the new software.
Anyway, the first signal was 24/44, the second 24/48. I inserted a new stereo track into each window, and armed it for record, then started recording by clicking the record button. The counter rolled along and everything looked cool. at the end of the session, I stopped recording, and as usual, vegas prompted me for a file name. When i went to look at the file later, it was only 512 kb!
At first I thought I messed up, and pressed 'play' instead of 'record'. But thinking back, it wouldnt have prompted me to save the file
The only thing I should mention is that I had saved a bunch of .veg files and put them on my desktop. these corresponded to various samplerate/bitdepth/soundcard combos, so I could open up a window with out configuring anything in the field.
for example, there were '24/44 on vx1', '16/48 on vx2', etc. I made the attributes of these files read only so I wouldnt overwrite them with potentially wrong settings. occasionally vegas would crash upon closing.
I would also like to mention that all of the recording errors occurred only using 24/44 on vx1 (but not everytime I used that combo, but like 3 out of 5 times. I still have the .veg file, and want to poke around to try to find out what caused this, any clues?
the version I'm using is 3.0a, build 107
