Vegas 4,

[ Will upgrade from 9 to 10 next week when we are able to use faster internet connections]

Bought from Derek at Treasure Productions, Singapore.

I was thinking of buying Pinnacle and he changed my mind.....very pleased I listened to his good advice.

Vegas 4.0
JourneyEd (academic discount online store)
Was using Pinnacle Studio 8 which I bought to work on my first DVD project and just couldn't take the crashing any longer. Found Vegas, transferred the project there, and never looked back.

The wayback machine...
I had Vegas 1.0. Since I was from Vegas I thought an audio program from Vegas might be good. Seemed like a weird name, even back then in the Sonic Foundry days. I was using n-track studio which I really liked but was wanting something more. I had an Atari 1040 before all that and you could plug MIDI right into the side. I forget what I was using on that machine. Did Cool Edit have something for that?

Vegas 1.0, back when it was an audio-only program.
I was already using Sound Forge and so I had a high opinion of Sonic Foundry. I was well pleased when they introduced the multitrack audio environment that was the first release of Vegas.
Can't remember where I bought it. There was no Internet buying at that time, so I probably ordered it by telephone from a dealer I found in one of the audio magazines I subscribed to.

My first Vegas was VP 8.0. version "c" if I recall correctly.
I got it from the SCS online store.

Before that I tried several trial versions of consumer packages, Nero, Pinnacle, etc. And I found them pretty hard to work with, and unstable to boot.
Then I stumbled across Vegas Movie Studio and tried the trial version of it. I bought Vegas Pro 8 the next day. This was something I could wrap my head around, pretty easy and intuitive to start on, and lots of opportunity to tweak and have fun as you learned the details.

Apparenlty, I move very slowly; I just unwrapped my retail box version of Video Factory Deluxe. Would you happen to know if this software can still be used toay? I have found that (so far) none of the video editiing software that I have can edit the recordings from my DVDR because the audio is AC3. Can VF Deluxe handle this? Thanks.

Video factory 1, upgraded to VF2 soon after then Vegas 3 as a special offer. Never regretted it and have followed with most upgrades to now very happy with V10.
Incidentally that Vegas 3 was a 27 meg download on a very slow dial up. Did it late at night and warned family to stay clear of phones at all cost!!!!

Vegas Audio 1.0a! One of the best audio products out at the time for the PC What was that, 1999? When 2.0 came out, I remember thinking, "Video tracks? Why would I want that?
