Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Audio tracks gone off the rails

  • Audio tracks gone off the rails

    Posted by Paul Gregory on May 1, 2014 at 8:12 am

    I seldom use much original sound but rely more upon natural sounds or music. I’m having problems with current project & I think its because the audio track is now a mess. It started out with the usual 1 video & 1 audio track. I wished to insert an audio volume envelope but this didn’t happen.

    Then I a saw I had a master bus. I clicked various tabs to get rid of it but only made things worse. How do I get everything back to the way it should be?

    Thanks in advance

    The shortcut key for a volume envelope is the letter v while the shortcut key for an audio master bus is the letter b.
    They’re right next to each other so it’s an easy mistake.
    Press b again and the audio master bus will go away.

    The shortcut key make an easy change & I added the volume envelope. Unfortunately I then right clicked on the track & told it to combine the tracks. It said that this worked but all places where I had set sound to zero the sound could still me heard. I suppose it might have been different if I had combined the tracks first. The current audio track is labeled as Microsoft Sound mapper.

    Thanks in advance

    ” It said that this worked but all places where I had set sound to zero the sound could still me heard”

    Very strange. I do this a lot and never hear any audio. Was it a stereo track or dual mono (i.e. two two distinct channels on a single stereo track?)

    “I suppose it might have been different if I had combined the tracks first.”

    That’s a possibility. Once again, what was on the track?

    ” The current audio track is labeled as Microsoft Sound mapper.”

    You choose your sound card in Vegas Preferences.
    Options – Preferences – Audio Device.
    Mine changes back to Microsoft sound mapper all on its own so I have to keep changing it back to what it’s supposed to be.
