    hi folks,
    using vegas 9.0.e
    just started having a problem with audio — single voice sources (one from me recorded on a usb mic — the other from a professional studio).

    the single voice audio is out of phase.
    this occurred recently so i’m guessing i accidentally set some kind of global audio setting.

    it’s only with single voice audio.
    here’s a link — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4od00wlcL0
    you’ll hear it right off.
    but when i change to this person’s produced voicetrack (his audio demo – comes in around the 1:00 mark) everything sounds normal.
    both of those tracks are on the same audio track.
    the female voice — not phased — is on another track.
    no track fx
    audio properties
    switched = loop (tried taking that off — no difference)
    channels = all greyed out

    however, on the produced voicetrack mentioned above — channels = both

    not sure what other info to provide.
    other than mentioning, this was not occurring at all a couple days ago.
    thanks

    Try toggling Switches | Invert Phase on the event and see if it makes a difference. (i.e., if it’s off turn it on, if it’s on, turn it off)

    tried invert phase.
    still the same.
    i checked some of the fx settings — none are checked (gate, eq and compressor).
    and all of the properties settings are identical to the last working project.
    upon further review (with headphones), i believe the entire audio only track has the phase problem.
    audio attached to video is fine.
    so, i closed this project down, recorded some audio, added a new track in a new project and rendered it.
    same problem.
    i was thinking perhaps uninstalling and reinstalling (although i’d rather not — but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do).
    that or stick a piece of video w/audio after the end of the project – ungroup that piece, delete the video and use the audio track.

    (EDIT TO THIS POST)
    i just tried the “add video w/audio track” option i mentioned above — still the same problem.
    wouldn’t that lead you to think “it must be a bad piece of audio.”
    well, it sounds fine in preview.
    and it sounds fine when i play it as a standalone with vls.
    so, i’ve, it seems, pinned it down to occurring when the project is rendered.
    rendered it as a mov prior.
    changed to sony avc — same problems.
    (rendering to 16:9 hd 30p — audio setting for this are default @ aac, 48,000Hz, 128k bit rate, stereo coding mode).

    i’m at a loss.

    john,
    still trying to work this out.
    i rendered the project straight to dvd — audio is perfect.
    so that means, somewhere while rendering to whatever format i’m using (so far mov and sony avc), the audio is askew.
    does that give you any insight?
    thanks
    tom
