Help! Normalization makes my dialog disappear!
I have just started to have a problem with normalization. When I try to normalize a dialog track the audio (and waveform graphic) disappears, just as though I had duplicated the track and then reverse polarity one of them. It doesn’t happen on music tracks ripped from CD. I have just recorded a fairly long project and am beginning to capture. I put some clips on the time line to see how it looks and cannot normalize. Thinking that it might be something with the new clips, I put some old clips (that have been used and could be normalized in the past)on to the time line to test. The same problem, when I click normalize, the audio becomes silent and the waveform graphic disappears, though the media event is still there. Any one got any ideas of how to fix this. I am running Vegas 7d on a dual Xeon machine with 2GB RAM
Thanks

This is a long-standing bug in Vegas. It doesn’t do it to all clips, but the occasional one (on my system, anyway). When it happens, I undo the normalization, import the offending audio clip into Sound Forge, and normalize it there.

Doug,
Thanks for the response. This is interesting. I have been using Vegas since V4 and have not come across this problem before. It just started suddenly. I was hoping the update to 7d would fix it but it didn’t. I have noticed that if I render out the audio to a wav file then bring it back into Vegas I can then normalize, but I don’t want to do that with every clip since it is an extra step and all those wav files will soon eat up hard drives.
Thanks for you response.
Jeff
