audio track not rendering

[John Rofrano]

Wow that’s strange. Did you change the routing on the track at all? It could be routed to an audio bus that is not assigned to the Master bus and therefore would not be part of the master output.

Also what format is the music track? If it’s not a WAV file try converting it to a WAV. I’ve never had problems with WAV files not appearing in the output.

When things don’t make sense I will copy the entire project (do control-A to select all from current project) and paste it into a new project (set the new project properties correctly first). This has saved me when projects hang or crash when trying to render. I think there are some weird bugs in Vegas after a lot of copy/paste activity, because I also see that project performance degrades over time and behave better after closing them and reopening them. Maybe a memory leak?

Yeah, this is a weird one. For some reason, this particular file is not recognizing the additional music track, which was created using Sony Cinescore 1.0. I have tried it as a .csp (cinescore filem, which has worked before), a WAV, and an MP3 — none have worked. That is, I hear them in the file, but not when I render. I checked the bus assignment, but it seems like everything is going to the master bus.

Thanks for your advice. I tried copying the files to a new Vegas page, but after I copy, the paste function does not become active when I move into the new page. Am I missing something on pasting events from one vegas file to another?

You need to have two copies of Vegas open at the same time in order to be able to paste from one to the other.

Thanks, John. That worked. Unfortunately, the problem still occurred in the new file that I pasted to. I wonder if Vegas 10 has a problem with Cinescore-generated music, even when I render it as a WAV or MP3?

[John Rofrano]

I would think that a WAV file is a WAV file regardless of where it came from. I would contact Sony support about this one. I can’t imagine what’s going on here. (sorry)

Thanks, John. I think there may be a bug in Vegas Pro 10, because when I drag a file onto the timeline, the sound is occasionally muted. Yet when I speed it up or slow it down I get sound from the clip. That’s happened a few times, then Vegas crashes and when I restore it I can hear the sound. I don’t know if I should report it to Sony, and if so, how. BTW, I’m running Vegas Pro 10 on an HP Pavillion with 8gigs memory.

I think I discovered a work-around for the issue of audio not playing when dragged to the timeline. First, increase or decrease the speed of playback – this shows that the audio did come through. To have it play normally, open up audio FX and add an effect. Anything will do. The audio should then play (it has for me). Then you can shut off the effect and the audio should still play normally. Hopefully no one else will encounter this Vegas Pro 10 bug but if they do, this should help.

I had the same problem, but found a solution that I haven’t seen anyone here suggest.

On a video I have three audio tracks, one stores in-game audio, one stores my voice recording and one stores music. But when I render the video, it only includes the in-game audio.

The solution was to reduce the audio quality from 48,000Hz (default) to the quality of the lowest Hz sound in your project. In my case this was 44,100Hz.

Now it was trying to render the sounds at a quality that that all sounds in my project had, and it worked!
