Migrating Audio from Final Cut Pro
You will have a hard time getting AAF outta Soundtrack Pro 'cos it doesn't really work properly at all. I went FCP to STP, then exported EVERY single track on its own, brought that into Vegas, and then did the real audio work with a pro app that actually works. --jpf

What is your Dolby 5.1 workflow
I use a Focusrite Saffire which has 8 outs two for stereo and the other six for surround. I'm using the MX-4 system from M-Audio which I don't think is available as a kit today. JPF

Improving sound quality
EQ is your friend here. Use the Vegas Track EQ to add some fullness and reduce the other effects of the stairwell. I wrote a tutorial on this subject which you can find on the DMN. Essentially, try boosting around 300 Hz, finding the "room" by sweeping the freqs and then cutting that, and putting a high pass at 100 and lowpass around 10k (called shelfs in Track EQ). JPF

OT: UAD-1 plugins.. are they really? Waves?
Oxford plug-ins are TDM (though I think they just announced AudioUnits support for Macs) and vegas doesn't do TDM. JPF

Narration volume control automation
The V7 Shift+draw envelopes works nice for ducking. I find when writing automation in real-time, I end up editing the envelopes a lot anyway ... JPF

Nested project question
You could split that sequence out and butt it together to loop. A nested project is still a single video event to Vegas, so treat it just like any other video event, cut/copy/paste/add FX/etc. JPF

Wind Noise.
Or try the multi-band dynamics which has a preset for plosives that can work for wind, too. Less agressive overeall than EQ as it only acts on the sound when the wind is there, leaving it alone otherwise. JPF

Surround 5.1
Copy/paste the same front sound to the rear isn't really doing the surround justice. A little time delay to the rears will create a sense of envelopment. Try this: copy the front stereo to another track. Route this copy to the surrounds. Add a reverb to this track and set it up to sound nice (play wet/dry balance, size, time, and predelay). Now the front and rear are in a different timebase and will sound fuller and more surrounding you. -- JPF

Help getting rid of "hiss"
And if the EQ doesn't do the job, you might need to try the Sony Noise Reduction plug-in which can work wonders on hiss. -- JPF

Reference Library???
The "reference Library" works with the Vegas Media Manager. If you have/use Sony Loops and Sound Effects, the reference library makes it easier to search and find that material. Sony took the time to 'tag" all their content to work faster/easier with the V6 MM. JPF

Vegas 5.1 Audio setup reference books
I would suggest the book "Instant Surround" by yours truly as it is a basic introduction to surround and is Vegas-centric. It will get you up and running fast. Also, there are lots of free articles at Dolby, DTS, and the Producers/Engineering wing at NARAS (Grammy). Jeffrey P. Fisher

undo on trimmer?
The Trimmer remembers your last few selections. Hit the Backspace key (the Vegas T/L works that way, too). JPF
