Activity Forums VEGAS Pro A couple misc easy questions

  • A couple misc easy questions

    Posted by Kelly Griffin on April 22, 2011 at 10:10 pm

    Just more stuff as I come across it:

    (1) When making an audio slice, how do I change the default so Vegas doesn’t auto-fade down and up at the cut point?

    (2) I zoomed way in to the timeline and noticed that an event can be trimmed at the sub-frame level! How (and why!) is that possible?

    (3) Is there a way to “save defaults” application wide? For example, I always want linear fades, but it’s defaulted to ramped in/outs.

    Thanks folks!

    Kelly,

    1) On the options|preferences|editing tab set the ‘quick fade length for audio events (ms)’ to 0. The default setting on this is 10ms. Leaving this at 10ms this will supress any crack or pops when the wave is cut off abruptly. 10ms is 1/100 of a second, it is doubtful that you would notice this quick fade out/in.

    2) Audio events are manipulated at the ‘sample’ level, not the frame level. On the options|preferences|editing tab uncheck the box for ‘Do not quantize to frames for audio only edits’. Then when ‘quantize to frames’ is on, it will be on for audio events also.

    3) (from another post) Shift-click options|preferences and select the internal tab. In the box at the bottom (show only prefs containing) enter ‘AudioASRType’ the default is 2, change this to your preference in the following list.

    2 = fast logarithmic
    1 = linear
    -2 = slow logarithmic
    4 = smooth cubic
    -4 = sharp cubic

    Be very careful in the internal tab, but if things get messed up you can always re-enter the defaults, they are listed.

    Hope this helps,

    Jeff

    [Kelly Griffin] “(1) When making an audio slice, how do I change the default so Vegas doesn’t auto-fade down and up at the cut point?”

    As Jeff said, Vegas does this to suppress audio clicks at the split points. You need to be very sure of what you are doing before you change this parameter. Otherwise you’ll be back here with a post that “there are clicks in my audio at split points”. 😉
