Dumb question on sound editors
Sound Forge is good, Wavelab is good, and Adobe Audition is good also - the latter not being as sophisticated as SF and WL but a lot of people love it. They all have their unique qualities and shortcomings but you'd probably be satisfied with any of them. And yes, an external editor can make things go a lot quicker and with a lot more precision as well. Download demos of all of them see which has the best fit for your workflow.

hot audio on iMac?
My remote system is a macbook pro - bootcamp, XP sp2. I have not experienced what you describe either with the internal sound card or external units (firewire or usb).

So we get RED support but no BWF write or OMF?
This Vegas 9 release, combined with the continuing foundational shortcomings of Acid Pro 7 makes be seriously wonder if ANY developer of these products actually use them is a professional setting or environment. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to suggest that no one with any decision making authority actually uses Vegas or AP in a professional environment outside of the SCS lab. Weird stuff . . .

CD Text problem
Thanks again you guys. I realized I had a player at my office in town that read CD text and it worked fine there so I guess my concern that CDA wasn't functioning properly was incorrect. I'm totally surprised that WMP and iTunes don't display CD text though. Oh well . . .

SONY wake up - please answer
You need to contact Sony directly. Apparently CDA is the bastard step-child of their offerings and its doubtful that they ever monitor this forum any more.

CD Text problem
"I am surprised a car CD from last 3 years or so t do CD-TEXT - are you sure it's not a configurable option ( Display | Mode on my Sony Xplod)." I have a 2006 Honda Pilot with a pretty nice system that does show some content for music tracks on XM radio but apparently not for CDs. However, will double-check this. Thanks!

CD Text problem
Thanks Geoff and CBG. I'll see if I can locate a CD player that displays CD text. I probably have half dozen players around here but none that does this - including our cars which are fairly new. I was certain that itunes read CD text but perhaps not. I check Nero per you instructions and see what I find. I've only got a "lite" version that came with an external DVD burner and I rarely use Nero for anything.

VST support for CDA
+ 1 on everything Geoff said! No, make that +100! C'mon Sony - is CDA going to join the 21st century!?

How to send "Cue Mix" to studio performers ?
You said you wanted analog outputs (Direct Out") for each channel but purchased audio interfaces that don't have this feature? I don't know about Vegas 5's ability to create cue mixes, but if it were me, I'd consider exchanging the Motu units for something that has the features you really need. Most units with 8 analog inputs also have 8 out. Its odd that the Motu doesn't but from looking at the design, they simply didn't have the physical space for them.

What audio interface are you using to record w/VP8
Basically anything from Echo Audio and RME will work great with Sony apps. RME has more sophisticated routing/mixing software but will cost about 40% more for equal number of I/O. Some regard the RME converters to be a notch better than the current Echo models but I personally think the difference is quite minor at best. Most people wouldn't be able to correctly tell in a blind test.

Presonus Faderport with Vegas?
If its a freebie, why not sell it and get something that does work. If you simply need a passive volume control for your monitoring system, you might check out these units or something similar: http://www.smproaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=81

Monitor more than one audio FX.
Of course it would be useful – and in my view its ridiculous that it is not included in Vegas & Acid (or any other app that is marketed to professionals). If you have more than one outboard unit patched in, do you make one disappear so that you can see another? Or another analogy would be that if you use a mixer/console, you can only view one channel strip at a time. Its pure silliness to even consider such a scenario. I've been working in studios for over 40 years and have never met or even heard of a professional engineer that didn't need to be simultaneously adjusting more than one outboard unit (and/or console moves) and this includes visual feedback regarding how the adjustments are effecting the audio. But, Sony's software requires us to workaround this basic, fundamental aspect of audio engineering. Perhaps there's a logical reason for it, but I personally fail to grasp what it could possibly be. I am NOT a protools advocate by any stretch, but this is one feature in their software that really does meet "pro" criteria.

Sound Forge 9 vs Vegas Pro 8 or other Audio editor
Sound Forge is a lot like WaveLab but with some differences, both pro and con. Some users report using both SF & WL because of certain features one has and the other doesn't. In my view, since SF now comes with CDA and Noise Reduction included, it might be worth it to you for those additions. You might do a search in the Sound Forge forum for posts that are related to all of this. I doubt you'll get much response here on the Vegas forum.

Vegas 8 Audio Pop on Render
I started having some weird problems with V8 in the middle of a project a few months ago (first big project I used it on), and decided to go back to V7 which seems more stable to me. I've become used to this process with Sony apps. Went back to SF 8 because 9 is so weird and buggy. Vegas 4 was always sluggish so I used V3 until V5 came out, etc, etc.

No to both questions.

Missing audio
Maybe a silly question but are you arming the audio track to record? When you test the audio signal (you said that you can hear it), is the track record meter showing activity?

Backing Up
Many thanks rraud! Yes, I'm now into doing redundant backups habitually. After reading many reports of drive failures, I've become quite cautious.

Can I set audio to sound far away
The most common way to do this is with a verb slowing moving from wet > dry. I mostly use outboard verbs, routing the return into a console so unfortunately I can't offer advice on how to automate a plugin verb to achieve the effect.

Wave form recording status weirdness
"Wonder if t could be related to a dot.net update ?" Not sure what that is Geoff but if its connected to Windows updates (or any other updates), then no. I don't have the system online except when I do a quick registration and then immediately unplug the ethernet cable. I have automatic updates disabled. Nothing got updated or changed from the time it was working correctly (steadily and consistently following the cursor while recording) to this new "sticky" "jumpy" kind of behavior.

Wave form recording status weirdness
Thanks jbolley. I doubt if my soundcard (RME Multiface-2) is related to this. Absolutely nothing has changed in my system in the past 2 months. As mentioned in my original post, this behavior started this week and its the first time I've ever experienced it.

I had checked the zoom issue already (from a new default project to an older 70 min project with multiple tracks but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Wave form recording status weirdness
Thanks Bob. The disc is nowhere close to full but I will check the fragmentation question. Again, I'm puzzled because I've never experienced this before, even on quite modest systems. UPDATE: Defragged the drive (needed it) but it didn't change or fix the behavior. The story gets weirder though: the behavior does NOT occur on the sessions I was working on last week and the week before - only the new session from this Monday (when I first noticed it), and also on a much older session (3 years old) that I experimented with. I'm stumped . . .

Wave form recording status weirdness
"However those vertical red lines instead of waveform have always irritated me. I assume everybody gets those ?" Thanks Geoff. Yes, I've always gotten those red lines when the recording time was "long" (never actually measured when it kicked in) and although distracting I've gotten used to it being "normal." However this blank space thing is new for me and certainly doesn't appear normal. It behaves like something got "stuck" > "unstuck" in an erratic pattern and continues the behavior till I stop recording. I find it quite unnerving because I've never seen it before. I hate to spend money on a new video card just to trouble shoot it but I suppose its the only thing to try.
