“Master” area below timeline (?)
I’ve looked in “Help” but can’t find any information on the “Master” track that appears below the divider section of the timeline. Where can I learn about what that’s for? I guess I never noticed it was there, but now that I’ve noticed it the audio level for it is different from project to project, and I don’t know if it’s affecting something I should know about. It doesn’t appear to be deletable, and I get the “circle/slash” when I try to add a track to it, but there’s a scroll bar as if you could. (???)

Kelly, in typical Vegas fashion, what you see is not what it’s called 🙁
Look in the help menu for Audio Bus or Video Bus and you’ll get all the info you need. -
Think of it like a master fader section on an audio console, where you can set master level,pan, add any audio and video effects and all of these will effect everything in the project.

I guess I’m confused, then, between that and the “Master” slider bar next to the preview window. I thought that’s what that was, no? Also, if I’ve never adjusted that “Master” area below the timeline, why would it be set to varying levels with varying projects?

Yes, that’s exactly what it is. Since it does not display by default, I’m guessing that you pressed the ‘B‘ key by accident. Unless you need to add envelopes to the master audio bus, I would press the ‘B’ key again and make it disappear and forget it was ever there.

Okay, thanks John. One less thing.
Did you see my “Audio Bizarro” post? I’m about ready to shoot myself on that one…

The Master track can used for alot of things. Even though most effects should have been used before this, like in the track or buss track, a master compressor and or EQ can be at the Master track level. Think about it. Hope this helps, Danny Hays
