CDA update, please
Yes, I believe its getting close to the point where someone will come along and say" Wow, CDA . . . I haven't ever seen one of those!! So that's what it looks like". Maybe an image of it will end up in a history of computer recording museum somewhere. ;-(

sony vegas 9 vs cakewalk sonar 8.5
To be accurate, Vegas is a NLE (non-linear editor) and is referred to as such by Sony (SCS). A DAW (digital audio workstation) is more of a generic term and certainly could be applied to Vegas in a general way but most DAWs in the current market do include midi features and support. I agree that the better comparison to Sonar in terms of what Sony offers is certainly Acid Pro - not Vegas.

VST plugin problem in Vegas 7
Thanks Will. I appreciate your suggestion but doing an uninstall and then reinstall of all Sony programs is simply unacceptable for me. If this is the fix then I'll pass. Sony needs to wake up and take care of its customers by fixing their buggy software rather than continuing to suggest these unbelievably ridiculous workarounds. So instead I'll keep urging my collaborator to migrate our projects over to Reaper which I have finally done after years of frustration with Vegas & Acid. Cheers

VST plugin problem in Vegas 7
I'm bumping this in case there might be any insight or suggestions from SCS folks. I do have Vegas 8 and the VST plugins show up fine in it but still no luck with Vegas 7, which I need to use because I'm working with a collaborator that only has Vegas 7. I tried scanning again last night and all the VST plugins show up as they are scanned but after the scan is completed, there's nothing - nada!

VST plugin problem in Vegas 7
Indeed, don't hold your breath. SonyMLogan's reply (which I appreciate) was on March 5th but there has not been a follow-up to my immediate response to him/her. I think I'm correct in that this forum is in an attrition process. RIP Vegas Audio . . .

VST plugin problem in Vegas 7
Thanks and yes I performed several re-scans. As noted in my original post, I can see the plugins that are being scanned as their names quickly pass by during the process. However, nothing shows up after the scan is completed. Like in Acid Pro 6, all of the VST plugs should show up in the window with a check by their name, correct? FWIW, I did not experience any plugins "crashing". This was a new install on a new PC and I when I was trying to build a project in Vegas I noticed that the VST plugs weren't showing - hence my efforts to re-scan. Other things I tried were closing and reopening Vegas and even rebooting the system a couple of times.

VST plugin problem in Vegas 7
Nobody?? Almost 4 days. I can't help but get the feeling that SMS is letting the Vegas Audio forum die a slow death through attrition. Note that there is no longer a Sticky for the current version link to download. Vegas Video, SF and Acid still has one. Oh well . . .

control surface for vegas pro and acid 6
There are never any "updates" on the MCU so it is what it is. There are a ton of them out there and they'll be around for awhile at least. For Mackie gear there are also a lot of repair techs in most larger cities if you need happen to need it - and the MCU isn't all that large so shipping it to a tech isn't a major ordeal. If they are being discontinued, then you are likely to get a decent deal somewhere. I personally wouldn't worry about it. In terms of the BCF2000 control surface, I think comparing it to the other Behringer units you mentioned is like apples and oranges. The BCF is actually one of B's best products and is certainly a no brainer for the money. Several Vegas/Acid users have them and it is popular enough that Sony created a white paper and posted it on this site (Downloads > White Papers).

Using an MCU Pro here - works like it should for both apps.

Creating Audio CD questions
Yes you have to insert a track marker between each track. Place the cursor where you want the marker and press "n" on your keyboard or use the dropdown menu and select 'insert track marker' (or whatever its called). I always use the keyboard to do this.

Computer Audio Interface M-Audio USB vs(Card?)
"Because it's portable." And I would agree in that case. My question was prompted primarily because the OP seemed implicit that his computer was a desktop - full sized unit, and did not mention anything about the need for portability.

Computer Audio Interface M-Audio USB vs(Card?)
I prefer the Echo Audio cards over the Maudio but they both are good and have shown to work well with Sony apps, especially the Echo units. I would certainly consider the AudioFire 2 or 4 or the MiaMidi for your needs (www.echoaudio.com). Just make sure when you build your computer that you install a firewire card with the Texas Instruments chipset. You may be able to a get a mobo that has this onboard.

Computer Audio Interface M-Audio USB vs(Card?)
I'm curious: Why would you prefer a FW device over and PCI/PCIe? If I didn't do remote or use a laptop (which I don't), I'd choose an internal card 100% of the time. I do agree that USB is a poor choice unless one never has high track counts or needs to record more than 1 or 2 channels.

Computer Audio Interface M-Audio USB vs(Card?)
How many inputs do you need (mic/line) to record at one time, and how many analog outputs do you require? Do you have external mic preamps or do you need a card with some mic pres included? Last but not least, what is your budget?

AUDIO DISSAPEARS
Are the meters indicating that the audio signal is actually coming into Vegas? It sounds like your sound card settings are incorrect.

Suggestions on cutting background noise?
This seems like the perfect situation for Noise Reduction 2.0 (included in Sound Forge and may be available separately?). Continuous noises such as drones, AC units and so on are quite easy to fix as long as the frequency range is not primarily the same as the source content you wish to keep/salvage. Risking an oversimplification, in NR2.0 you capture a "noise print" of the material you wish to remove and allow the application to do its work. The learning curve isn't difficult and there are lots of posts on this in the Sound Forge forum - do a search. There are many noise reduction/restoration applications available - some are quite expensive but you may be able to find something for free if you check around. Personally I don't see how anyone could use Vegas without an editor like Sound Forge and most editors include some type of noise reduction feature. Even Audacity (a freebie) includes a basic, albeit primitive, noise reduction plugin. Again, the situation you describe is not a difficult fix for these programs.

Preference/Audio Device
None of the above. If you are serious about creating music, purchase a sound card that is designed for it. Entry level models by Echo Audio and Maudio work fine with Sony apps. Otherwise, Classic Wave driver will probably give you best results with your current system.

"An error occurred while starting playback"
What does the "Details" tab say about the error? When I get that it is usually connected to my soundcard output settings being assigned to another program that is open.

Thanks Jesse. Yes pitch shifting on the event renders properly (Peter suggested this on my post on the Acid forum).

Yes, in Vegas 7 track buffering is enabled .25. Is this not the default?

Thanks Peter - The studio is shut down for the evening but I'll check tomorrow. I'm curious as to how track buffering might be related? Thanks again!

Can AIFF be converted into wav?
Render it to a new file and choose wav when the dialog box comes up. If you have Sound Forge (or something similar) you can simply convert it. Piece of cake . . .

horrendous time taken to render audio
I think you've gone down the wrong path. I've been muting tracks since version # 1 and have never experienced what you describe. In fact, its extremely rare that I don't have some tracks muted during a render and I certainly would have picked up on such a serious issue. That said, I do not have Vegas 9 so if you're using it, perhaps there is a problem?
