Remove Track FX dialog animation?
At some point (could have been an update to Vegas, a Windows update, or a driver update) I started having this problem: when playing back audio in Vegas, if I click the Track FX button for any track, the audio stutters. This occurs as Vegas is animating the dialog and making it appear to “fly out” of the Track FX button. I never used to have this problem, so either this animation is new, or something else changed on my system causing this animation to make my playback stutter. It means I can’t press the Track FX button while recording, for example, because the stutter causes timing issues with overdubs, and it’s really annoying.
My question is, is there a way to disable this “flying window” dialog animation? I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find it.
FYI Acid Pro 7 does not have this problem, I can click on Track FX buttons to my heart’s content during playback or record and the audio never stutters. Also worthy of note that Acid doesn’t make the dialog “fly out” of the button, hence my desire to stop Vegas from doing this.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

I don’t know how to turn this off within Vegas, but I would think you would be able to apply the classic Windows theme and turn off all animations via Windows and see if that is really the culprit. If that fixes the issue, it is either a throughput issue or a RAM issue. I would doubt that it is a gpu issue. If that does take care of it, try turning off some background processes to reduce the amount of items running on your system. Start/Run/msconfig go to the startup tab and turn off those items that are not essential to run. If you uncheck them all that is okay as Windows will turn back on what needs to be running for the system. You can also do the same for services. Once you restart it will tell you that you have enabled selective startup or something like that. You can check the box telling it to not tell you this again.
Now you can turn back on your themes and animations and test again. If all is well you can bring back your services and startup items one (or a group) at a time to see if one in particular is the issue or if there is a breaking point. Keep an eye on your task manager. Hope this helps.

I suspected that but have already tried that and all the other standard Windows optimization tricks. I’ve got everything set to the most basic settings in Windows, no animations, transparency, show windows while moving, etc., as little as possible running in the background, I even disable network connections etc. I can record tons of tracks at once etc. without any issues. The only issue I have is this one when clicking on the Track FX button unfortunately, so it seems like it’s pretty Vegas-specific. Maybe I’ll try turning ON some of these Windows features, maybe it’s an odd combination of having a feature turned off in Windows that Vegas expects to be on, and causing it to stutter as a result…

Perhaps. You may want to run this by Sony support. If you choose to do that, let us know the outcome. here is the link: Sony Technical Support
You will need an account if you don’t already have one.
