  • Does Vegas detect audio drop outs? weird thing happened.

    So I was capturing some DV footage with Vegas 4, for
    a DVD Project.

    The audio levels were pretty low, so I used the normalize
    feature to up the levels to proper standards.

    well this one clip, would silence itself instead of
    boosting the level every time i tried to normalize.
    I couldn’t figure out why, so i opened it up in another
    audio app and found a slight audio drop out.

    There was no audio drop out on the master tape, so I re-captured
    the clip, it now has no audio drop out, and when I applied
    the normalize, it did the job.

    Does vegas no if there is an audio drop out and do this to
    clips with them if you try to normalize?

    I found this to be a pleasant surprise as it caught something
    before it really became a problem.

    I have noticed this phenomenon in Vegas 4 and 5. I have never known what causes it. It only happens once in a while but is rather annoying. I would be normalizing a series of clips, then for no apparent reason, the audio on one of them would go to zero when normalized. Sometimes if I closed the project and came back to it later, I could normalize that clip. Maybe it does have something to do with a dropout. Anyone else have any ideas?
