Rendering problems with audio after update to
It turned out to be a stupid coincidence not related to the update.Yesterday I installed the previous Vegas version and changed the date of the PC to may 1st (using this date the application started)Strangely I observed the same behavior with a video which was ok before, so it couldn't be related to the update.The only thing I expected was a relation with the audio interface (ESI Gigaport HD), removed the USB plug re-inserted it and everything was ok.When facing the problems the first time I restarted the PC which didn't help, however, the USB port and thus the audio interface remains powered. It seems the audio interface was somehow stuck with a fixed sample rate, showing this odd behavior when using 48kHz fs.

Rendering problems with audio after update to
I played back the rendered file in VLC as wel as in Windows media player. Tried to render different formats (even creating BluRay disc image which I usually do)It seems it has something to do with audio resampling, for music I use mostly 44.1kHz FLAC, which most output formats are set to 48kHz. I tried once with setting output sample rate to 44.1kHz, after which the problem didn't occur. Normally I would test with the previous version to make sure it really is caused y the update, but since the previous version does not start, this is not possible.

Script to copy volume envelope within track group
@joelson,I am planning to change the behavior slightly. Initially I developed it using it small test projects to which I added some audio tracks. When using it for the first time on a larger project with camera footage, it didn't work, because I only allow it when events on a single track are selected and the camera footage are 'grouped events'.Idea as as follows: If only events on a single track are selected, then the envelope from the selected track are replicated to the other tracks of the track group (as it is now) If events on multiple audio tracks are selected, then the volume envelope from the first track from the track group are replicated to the other tracks of the track group.

Script to copy volume envelope within track group
@Joelson I fixed a couple of issues. One of them was the handling of destination tracks which did not have a volume envelope. This was most likely what you experienced.@jetdv I purposely did not check for duplicates, since I first deleted all points within the event area. Later found out that Vegas does not delete the '0' point 😞No a real good programming practice imho, after a 'list clear' the list is probably not empty.

How to iterate through all tracks from a specific track group
I have seen some of your tutorials, they were helpful, thanks 😀

Script to copy volume envelope within track group
Thanks for your response.The screen record was helpful. It turned out to be related to the first event on the timeline (which I didn't try) . Even after deleting envelope points, the default point at timecode 0 is never deleted by Vegas. This resulted in a duplicate when copying the '0' envelope point, with as a result the error. I have updated the files on Github.

Script to copy volume envelope within track group.
Happy Otter Spcrits has something similar as part of the free tools. https://tools4vegas.com/copy-volume-envelope/ Thanks for replying,I had seen that one, but it's only to a single destination track, which means I still need to do it three times (or in case of 6 discrete tracks for 5.1 6 times)

How to iterate through all tracks from a specific track group
It turned out to be quite simple, in case someone needs it: foreach (TrackGroup grp in vegas.Project.TrackGroups) { foreach (Track track in grp) { if (track.MediaType == MediaType.Audio) { track.Selected = true; } } }

Some experienced surround sound engineer who can shine me a light ?
That will work, but I like to understand why there is such a big difference. If I create a movie with equal levels at front and rear. Why do the levels then differ so much when playing back a calibrated setup.I can dig deeper and perform some measurements at the audio line outputs, but it seems to me I am just missing something obvious.

Equalizer and level adjustment for multichannel out while editing
Thanks, It sounds like a workable solution. I will give it a try.

How to use a volume envelope for 5.1 audio (multiple tracks at once)
@Howard-Vigorita Thanks for trying and for your reply. The first interesting part for me was the shift key and the "internals" menu option. This makes it more easy to find something.But with respect to your setup, if I see it correctly your audio track output is set to the "surround master" and not to "bus-a".As soon as you assign it to "bus-a" the surround panner of the channel will disappear and your track surround properties are 'lost' (or better to say 'ignored')

How to use a volume envelope for 5.1 audio (multiple tracks at once)
@Yelandkeil Unfortunately the resolution of your screenshot is too low to read the text. So I have no idea what you are trying to demonstrate 🙁

How to use a volume envelope for 5.1 audio (multiple tracks at once)
Basically my point is, that a 'bus' is not a 'bus' (transport medium). It is changing the surround allocation.See the following example with 2 audio tracks:Track 1 = Front LeftTrack 2 = Rear rightThe first screenshot shows the mixer output when not using a bus: only front left and rear right are active.With the second screenshot both tracks are assigned to output bus 'A'. As soon as you do that, the surround panner for the track disappears and the audio is output to all channels (because of the bus surround panner)This means a bus is not usable at all for surround footage ,which sounds strange to me.

How to use a volume envelope for 5.1 audio (multiple tracks at once)
@Joelson Using a volume envelope is clear to me. Your your screenshot is nice, I use the same setup as you. (track 2 = front, track 3 = center, track 4 = LFE, track 5 = rear, track 6 = music).Referring tou your screen shot, I like to use a volume envelope to control track 2,3,4,5 simultaneously while preserving the output channel allocation. Those tracks contain the camera audio and at certain point I want to fade in the music and fade out the camera audio (without having to use 4 individual volume envelopes) It looks like a very basic mixing feature, but so far I have not been able to accomplish this. When I assign them to an audio bus, the channel allocation is gone (all channels are output according to the audio bus surround panner)It seems something similar happens when using Wave Hammer.

How to use a volume envelope for 5.1 audio (multiple tracks at once)
@Joelson Thanks for the reply. The reason I do not want to apply volume automation on the materf track is because I have 2 sources:1 - Camera with 5.1 audio2 - MusicAt certain points of the vieoI want to reduce the volume of all camera tracks and increase the volume of the music.@jetdvI just did a quick check on Wavehammer. I have a feeling it ca do what I want, but how to route the 5.1 audio to the Wavehammer fx ?

How to use a volume envelope for 5.1 audio (multiple tracks at once)
@Yelandkeil I do not find you disgusting, comment is alwasy appreciated.it is clear to me that Vegas is not the perfect solution for surround mixing. However in my case it is just for personal use, for which it is suitable. The only thing I am looking for is an easy way to adjust the volume (by envelope) of all the (5.1) camera tracks simultaneously.

How to use a volume envelope for 5.1 audio (multiple tracks at once)
@rraudMaybe it is a misunderstanding from my side. Suppose I have my 2 stereo tracks (front and surround)When they are not assigned to an audio bus I can assign the front track to the master front speakers (using the channel surround panner) and the rear track to the master rear channels.As soon as I assign those channels to the audio bus, the channel surround pan options disappear and they all are output depending on the surround master surround panner. So when I set the front channel to solo, then it is audible on both front and rear.Am I overlooking something here ?
