  • Can I fine tune the audio output by using and adjusting the audio plug-ins?

    Okay I have a great piece of music (see a short clip on youtube)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv3DNV-at9o

    I downloaded it from a royalty free music site where I purchased it.

    When I output this to DVD architect or even Sony Click to DVD to create a DVD the result is that the music has a wooden sound on both my television or when I burn a CD of this same music track and play it on a boom box.

    So much so that the bass sounds like someone thumping on wet cardboard. Hardly what I envisioned for my intro trac to my movie. On youtube through my headphones or playing it on the timeline in vegas it sounds fine. Just when I output it and burn a DVD/cd it becomes lackluster.

    Can I use the audio-plug-ins somehow or some other feature on Vegas Pro 8 to alter this sound and tone down the cardboardey sounding bass etc. I tried looking things over but got a bit lost among all of the adjustments.

    Would really appreciate some help as I really love this sound track and it goes really well with the intro.

    Thanks!

    Don

    Just to double-check: When you burn a DVD or CD and then play it back on your computer (where you play the MP3, YouTube and Vegas), does it sound fine? It should.

    That would indicate that it’s the speakers on your TV/boom box and not the actual DVD/CD that’s the issue. But, yes, you can target your output for those devices so that it will sound better on them… at the cost of changing the sound on YouTube/Vegas/YourComputer. It’s a dilemma!

    I’d start with the Track EQ: grab the (1) low frequency node and drag it down just a tad and maybe create a little shelf filter. Now here’s the second dilemma: It’s going to be tricky to preview this on your destination without burning a disc, so you are like a deaf man mixing. Burning copies and trying it out is the only real test, but it is possible your TV/Boom Box have inputs, in which case you could run your computer’s out into the actual device and mix like that.
