RME Compatibility

Thanks for confirming this Ken! My sales guy said I could use both simultaneously but you know sales guys . . . I wanted to hear it from someone who actually did it in the real world! <smile>

RME Compatibility

"'Ive got 3 Multiface-2's, work very well. 2 are on PCI cards, 1 is used with cardbus in Notebook computer for location recording. Very solid drivers, in my experience." Thanks Rick! A related question: Can you use the ADAT & SPIDF I/O simultaneously? With Echo cards you can only use one or the other. Being able to use both at the same time would REALLY improve my workflow and routing. Thanks again!

Vegas 8 - sync offset strangeness

I'm glad someone finally brought this up. I also want to voice my disapproval with this thing. I didn't even know what it was but now that I consider it, I see that I've found myself drifting back to Vegas 6 just to avoid it. I like the new console thing in V8 but with this never ending video stuff continuing to push audio to the rear, I doubt its worth the upgrade to me.

So what do people think ?

I haven't decided yet as I really haven't had a chance to put it through any serious paces. I've noticed the lack of activity here as well and I'm not surprised. I do think that most (not all) of the audio only folks have moved on and I'm in that transition as well. Too little too late is the phrase that seems appropriate here.

Track folder in Vegas?

No and neither does V8.

V8 UI question

"I know it's functionally unimportant, but I found the camera splash a real turn off!" I agree! As a long time audio only user (since V1), who has felt pretty much dismissed by Sony's direction with Vegas, the camera lens thing seemed more like and sybolized a "middle finger" gesture to me. Of course the video forum sees it more like the holy grail. Oh well . . .

V8 demo requires registration

"So, I gave up and unistalled V8 and .net3.0 and visual basic C++." Yeah, if I don't see some response here from Sony on this today, I'll follow your lead.

V8 demo requires registration

Thanks Geoff. I don't recall even doing that before but I rarely "test" these upgrades - I just go ahead and purchase them and wait till update #3 or so (to get primary bugs worked out) before using them. However, in this case, I doubt I'll make the move to V8 as I'm already transitioning to something else. This would be the first version since V1 that I've not purchased. I am curious to see how the new mixer works though. But the real question on registering a "trial" version in order to check it out, how does one get a serial # to do this? Contrary to what you said, the trial install REQUIRES a serial # in order to open the program. I think this simply a bug. Hell of way to start off a new version. Oh well . . .

So then...

I upgraded to Vegas 7 only because 5.1 was included in the good upgrade price but I've never even used it. Installed and opened it to see how it worked but I too have finally moved on from Vegas. I guess I follow the forum mostly out of morbid cursiosity to see just how the audio only folks are being treated. I'm still using SF, CDA and Acid, but I'm transitioning from Acid to another app as well.

CDA 5.2c

Thanks Ken. I hate having to shell out $80 in order to make up for a defect in this program but it wouldn't be the first time I've had to pay money for some sort of a "workaround." Question: have you turned in formal bug report to support on this? I ask because unlike Vegas, SF & Acid, its pretty obvious that CDA is all but ignored on this forum by the support staff and I doubt that our posts here are seen by anyone that matters. Thanks again. drbam

CDA 5.2c

Thanks Ken. Bummer though. This software has been around for years and its still not up to basic demands. What version of Nero do you use? Thanks!

CDA 5.2c

Thanks Ken. Please let us know what you discover. I've got a important mastering job coming up and if CDA can't handle these needs, then I need to find something that will. Thanks! drbam

CDA 5.2c

Does anyone know if this is writing CD text and ISRC codes correctly?

Will Vegas Pro 8 have improved audio routing?

The literature only touts the mixer as "New" - everything else seems the same. However, take a look at the new video features and then go check out the video forum. The folks over there are acting like Sony has given them the holy grail in Vegas 8!! I've never seen anything close to that type of user response to any audio release and I've been around here since Vegas 1 and Acid 1. Pretty obvious where Sony's resources and energies are focused. Of course that's been obvious for a few years now - just not quite as dramatic as Vegas 8 confirms it.

Vegas 6.0 and M-Audio Delta 1010

The "ring mod" noise is most likely a feedback loop. Check your recording/playback/monitor routings to see if anything's routed back into another input. Other than that I can't really comment.

Audio Control Surfaces

Yes, you can write your volume moves (and more) with the controller in real time – like "real" mixing.

Stereo Mix (again)

If I understand your question correctly, I think the "downmix" you're wanting is actually to render your mulititrack mix to a single stereo file?

SF9 Izotope bundle and CDA5.2

I personally don't use Sound Forge as a "mastering app" and frankly don't know anyone else who does either – I think mastering is a primary function of CDA with SF being the tool for surgical editing and other destrutive tweaks within the mastering process. The Izotope plugs not being available in CDA is simply rediculous, and to me is just another illustration of how out of touch SMS seems to be with their user base. I've used Vegas, SF, Acid, CDA for many years and they are basically the only programs I use on a regular basis. However, over the past 3 years or so, I've grown accustomed to the idea that I will most likely be in a perrpetual state of "waiting for the next release" forever hoping to finally get a group of apps that work in the integrative manner that they are touted to be. I just mastered 2 projects and would have loved to try out the Izotope plugs with these but I guess I'll need to wait till the next release for that.

Does Vegas have a 'Mixing' panel display?

Yes it has a mixer with master fader and where you can add busses. And yes the tracks have volume, pan and efx levels. Apparently you haven't reviewed the manual - all of the questions you ask are clearly explained there.

BCF2000 - finally having a go...

I followed Mark's "forum tutorials" which got me up and running with the BFC2000. Although it feels a bit clunky (probably because I'm still getting used to it), it works great and gives me the basic controls I need for an amazingly low price. My advice is to follow Mark's suggestions exactly. There's no way I could have figured this thing out on my own and I'd like to say thanks again to Mark for your expertise and generous assistance. drbam

Purchasing Upgrade Question

Yes, but you won't be able to register it because your serial # is included in the boxed shipment. My understanding is that you can't get the # in advance in order to use a download copy (I could be wrong about this).

Hard/Soft ware Ques: Firewire Mixer & Vegas

It appears that this is true of the Mackie Onyx as well? If I'm understanding it correctly, unless one has an additional audio interface providing more outputs, these units essentially lock you into mixing ITB with no real way to utilize outboard gear or to do an analog mix. Am I missing something here? drbam

V7 spotting

"The fact that the audio side of Vegas is a key differentiator in reviews and comments is probably not lost on SMS so it would seem to be in the best interest of SMS to continue enhancing the audio side of Vegas." Yes, one one think so. However, if you look at the new "audio features" in 7, in my view there are only 2 items that are not directly aimed at enhancing video users' audio needs: Trazport control and improved VST plugin handling. I upgraded to 7 only because DVD-A was included and was a good buy. At the time I was negotiating a potential surround project but that didn't work out so I haven't even bothered to install Vegas 7. I'm still using 6 but have been getting some weird random lockups lately so maybe I'll check it out to see if its a fix. If not, Its time to move on to something else for me. I don't think that SMS could be any clearer about their plans for Vegas and it certainly isn't oriented toward meeting audio users needs or requests.
