Sound Forge added black bars top/bottom/general advice of SF workflow :(
I had a event that was very quiet even when I set the volume line to Max. I Therefore decided to use the Sound Forge integration and boost he volume in Sound Forge. This seemed to work, even though it took quite a long time to save (I do however sometimes get (‘media offline’ writern on the clip but the thumbnails are there). Thing is when I go back to Vegas although the sound is boosted I get a black stripe at the top/bottom of the clip. This even shows up if I load the clip from the Media Bin to the trimmer! I have tried all sorts of things (aspect ration etc.) but cant fix it.
I guess my use of Vegas/Sound Forge integration was not quite correct. Can anyone give me advice/guidelines on this. What would be great was a tutorial that covers taking an event in Vegas into Sound Forge, tweaking sound and then saving the results back to Vegas. I have goggled but no luck.
Regards,

Hi Ben,
Normally, you would indicate your favorite audio editor in the preferences. After having done that, you only have to context (right) click the audio event and select the option to edit a copy of the audio in your favorite editor. This editor will launch and you make your effect. A copy will be rendered automatically. Thats all.

This is what I did. Sound Forge was the editor. When I returned to Vegas, after Sound Forge Saved, that’s when the black lines appeared.

So soundforge made a new copy of the edited audio for you? Then you should be able to delete the original event from the timeline AND the project and import it again.

I thought the Vegas and Sound Forge were supposed to be properly integrated. What I really need is a tutorial.

Ofcourse Vegas and Soundforge should work together perfectly. I never saw your problem in Soundforge 8 or in Soundbooth CS4.
But could you solve the problem this time by re-importing the original event?

Ben, it sounds like you ‘Opened in Sound Forge’ rather than ‘Open a Copy in Sound Forge’. The former sends audio and video into S. Forge, and if you work on it there and save it, the video can be affected. Opening a Copy sends only the audio portion of the file.

Thanks a lot, I was coming to that conclusion.

Have you tried normalizing and or compressing the audio right in Vegas? Right click the audio event, switch, normalize, or add a compressor as an effect. Hope this helps, Danny Hays
