Ctrl – Z strange reaction in Vegas

[John Rofrano]

[Steven J Casey] “I get the “Project Recorded files folder” dialog box.”

Me too! I thought it was just something crazy with my installation. I have no idea how to fix it but you are not alone.

Well, at least it’s not just my machine, although this isn’t the kind of misery that loves company. Sure wish there was an answer to this because Vegas crashed on me repeatedly today with this weird issue.

I’ve griped about this before, but Sony support has been uber-crappy for me ever since they bought Sonic Foundry. I can send in a ticket but typically they respond in 2-3 weeks with something like “restart your machine and see if it works then.” Of course this accomplishes nothing and it’s another 2-3 weeks for them to respond again. Ugh.

The emergence of that error message has been reported.

But from ANOTHER direction, my ASIO drivers are looking like the culprits.

My remedy has been to go into the Audio Device in Vegas Prefs – I see my ASIO driver options are whiteout-ed – and temporarily apply any other driver; go back and forth twice which tends to now “shake-loose” the ASIO, go APPLY and move on . . . . .

However, what HAS had some effect has to firewall ALL my audio INS and OUTS to use the ASIO driver. If I dare wonder from this path of righteousness, my ASIO gets all “rowdy” with me again. When I then go into M$ with my sound-card<>ASIO setups, I can see one has usurped one for the other.

Here’s a thought, jr, my ASIO driver DOES have a SONY development tag on it – interested?

Yup, you ain’t alone.

….and if it ain’t your ASIO or rather you DON’T use ASIO anything, then I can’t suggest anything further.

I never though of checking the ASIO driver. I do use a M-Audio Firewire 410 and it does have some undesirable behavior with Vegas Pro like I can’t use some FX on the Master Audio Bus without getting stutter.

The thing is this Ctrl+Z problem doesn’t happen all the time. Next time it does, I’ll try switching my ASIO driver on and off and see of that helps.

This Vegas issue is more than just the ASIO driver….

No doubt. Care to expand on?

John, I use that same FW410 model. I just checked my driver preferences and see nothing out of the ordinary. However, another thing that pops up every now and then is the unsupported file type. If I go into the M-Audio control panel and toggle the sample rate back and forth it then works. This used to never happen.

Yea there is definitely something odd going on here.

Has this strange behavior just started to happen for people? For me I recently began noticing odd hotkey behaviors but I can’t say if they started with build 563 or not. After reading this thread I am more convinced of my conclusion to my experience: Vegas is not assigning focus like it used to. CTRL-Z for undo only works when the timeline is the application focus where it seems that Vegas now has many more controls that grab focus (file import, etc.) and keep it. My guess is that the timeline used to take back focus after each other Vegas procedure ended. Now that appears not to be the case so commands that you think would affect the timeline are being carried out by another part of the Vegas application.

So it seems Matt…And that would mean its been there all along.
