  • Audio fx yield strange results

    Posted by Terry Esslinger on March 30, 2009 at 6:43 pm

    TRying to use any of the audio fx effects on time line. I am using V8.1 on Vista 64bit. When I apply the fx(non real time) it processes the fx and places the take on the time line lke it normally should. However the take is doubled in speed and appears twice in the original space. Soooo I tried using the ‘copy to audio program’ and using Audacity I would apply an fx. When I bring it back to the Vegas program it is also doubled in speed (same problem)It seems I can’t use any audio effects. Video effects seem to work fine. Any body else come up with this problem?

    I know not of such an issue….Vegas 8 has a new feature
    the “audio mixing console“. Try using that feature and
    apply your audio fx and mixes there….this feature is a
    unique and convenient location to handle all your audio
    tasks.
    BTW, What specific audio fx are you applying to this audio?

    Steve,
    It doesn’t matter which fx I use it does the same thing. If I knew how to post a picture here I would show you. But basically it makes it play twice as fast and doubles the length so that it fits in the space. Using 48k 16 bit sound bites direct from camera (FX1)

    That is really strange Terry…it would seem as though there is
    a bug (conflict related)in the Vegas 8.1 architecture….Before
    i go any further, did this just started happening or is this the
    first time you start experiencing this oddity or start applying
    audio effects in the vegas 8.1 version?

    Steve,
    This is the first time I tried using the audio effects in 8.1. The strange thing is if I take the clip out to an external program (I use Audacity – I’m cheap) make the change and then bring it back in as a take, it does the same thing.

    There maybe the fact that if an audio fx is not
    64 bit compatible…there could get some problem.

    OK, that might account for Audacity (I don’t know if it is 64bit compatable) but would not account for the Vegas audio effects. By the way, thanks for your help on this. I can’t believe that no one else is running into this problem.

    Its a bit strange to figure that one out….Dont have that
    problem with vegas 8.1 on my 64 bit machine….tried to even
    create the issue you are having on my system to arrive at a
    solution, but no luck….
    Seems its duplicating the audio and applying itself in more
    than one instance.

    OK hows this for a twist. If I open the project in 8.0c the audio effects appear to work correctly. They only screw up in 8.1. Wonder why you can’t use the audio effects in 8.1, or at least I can’t. Same project, same computer Dell 435 i7 64 bit Vista Home Premium, 6G????
