Where to start with Audio in Vegas Movie 11??
I have some crappy audio and I need to try and clean up the noise and volume.. I thought that I could lay the track in MS 11 then where the audio track is that I could open that with sound forge and clean it up. But that doesn’t work.. Says unreacognizable file or something.. I used the sony plug-in for volume but that didn’t really clean up the noise from recording with the onboard mic..
So, where do I start with audio?

What format is the original event/clip?

[Mike Kujbida] “What format is the original event/clip?”
its comes out of my Panasonic TM700 as a .MTS

Sound Forge shouldn’t have a problem reading that file.
I just tied it with a sample AVCHD clip, Vegas Pro 10 and Sound Forge Pro 10 and it opened the audio without any problem.Which version of Sound Forge do you have?
Do you have it set as the preferred audio editor in Vegas?If you’re really stuck, render the audio out as a PCM (i.w. WAV) file, bring that into Sound Forge, clean it up, save it under a new name, bring it back into Vegas and replace the poor audio with the cleaned up version.

Sound Forge Studio 10.0.. Yes, I have it set as the prefered editor.. It started to open in the editor then says “The file is an unsupported format”
How do I render out just audio?

Maybe the Studio version doesn’t support the opening of .mts files?
As I said, I use Pro and it does so I can’t say why yours won’t.“How do I render out just audio?”
Double-click the event to highlight it.
File – Render as, pick a file name, choose WAV in the “save as type” box, choose the “48,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, PCM” template and render it to the desired location.
Open up Sound Forge, process as desired, save it under a new name (as simple as adding a -new to the original file name), bring it into Vegas, place it under the original event to make sure it lines up properly, ungroup the original audio from the original video (click the audio portion of the event and press ‘u’), delete it, slide the new audio to the track directly under the video event, click the audio event, shift+click the video event and press ‘g’ to group them together.
That should be it. -
[Mike Kujbida] “Double-click the event to highlight it.”
Thank you very much.. I assume I would need to leave music track off until I edit the audio track or it would include the music in the file I’m rendering is that right?
-
That would be correct.
BTW, this is a stereo track and not 5.1, right? -
[Mike Kujbida] “BTW, this is a stereo track and not 5.1, right?”
Yes, the 5.1 sounded really noisy so i just left it on stereo..
When I try to render just the audion it renders the entire audio track, not just the highlighted portion/clip? Am I mising a step?
-
[Jamie Moore] “Am I mising a step?”
Yes, the step that I forgot to mention 🙁
When you’re on the Render as dialog screen, make sure to enable the “Render loop region only” option.
That way, only the highlighted portion gets rendered.Good luck!!

I have a TM700 as well. Did you capture as stereo or 5.1? If it’s 5.1, try setting your project settings to 5.1 and then put the .mts file on the timeline. You will get 3 stereo tracks. Find the cleanest one(s) and work with that. What kind of noise is it? If it’s a constant noise like a 60hz hum, there are noise reduction filters that will work very well with that kind of noise, as long as you have a section of just the noise to get a noise profile from.
