  Sony Vegas 9.0b: Trouble Rejoining Audio Segments

  Posted by Jonas Hardwell on October 22, 2009 at 4:02 am

  heylo all!

  i’ve been using Vegas on and off for many years, but i’m having trouble
  doing some what i consider simple audio waveform editing in Vegas 9.0b.

  i have some audio that has been cut into sections and needs to be
  spliced back together. in the past, i have been able to overlap two waveforms
  (with auto crossfades off), zoom in extremely tight and sync them up exactly while they are overlapping.

  my problem now is that when i drag one waveform over the other,
  Vegas makes the waveform further down the timeline dominant.
  one waveform completely covers up the other. i need to see both
  waveforms so i can line them up correctly.

  i’ve searched for a switch or an option, but i can not seem to find it!

  also, how can i make it easier to see the waveforms once they are overlapping?
  using crossfades, i can barely see the waveform underneath.

  thanx for the help!

  Drop the second audio clip down to a new track.
  This way, you’ll be able to see both waveforms clearly and still (kind of) hear the overlap/crossfade.
  When you get them properly lined up, move the lower audio clip up to the same track by clicking it to highlight it and using the numeric 8 key.
  The track height can be increased to make it more visibile.
  You can also loop a small section of the timeline and have it play over and over again as you slide clip #2 forwards and backwards to adjust it.
