Sound very low after rendering
I recently upgraded to Sony Vegas Pro 11, and since then I’ve struggled with the audio.
I’ve googled and checked and just can’t find anything explaining this. I’ve checked custom settings on the templates I’ve tried, but when rendering to avi theres no GAC setting anywhere to be found.
Details;
Rendering to avi, using template HD 1080-50i YUV.
Audio looks good in project, but when I import the file again it’s been compressed – or just not amplified the way I’m used to from Vegas9
This is the rendered videoclip imported back into Vegas:
This is the original. I adjust the volume on the track so the peaks just about hit 0db in the master mixer.
(the audiotrack just below the videotrack is muted)
What am I doing wrong??

That’s a good question because I can’t reproduce this at all. I just dropped some AVCHD footage on my timeline, rendered it out to Sony HD 1080-50i YUV and dropped that file back in and the audio is absolutely identical to the original. No change at all.
I would try my test. Open a new project, drop some video onto the timeline, render out a small section as Sony 1080-50i YUV and bring the rendered file back in and compare the audio. They should be the same.
If so… then something in your original project is causing the audio to be lower.

Okay, just tried that.
Still looks and sounds like the audio is lower.
Shouldn’t it be amplified in render when I push the volume up in either the track or the mixer?

Hmmm… that’s very strange. Like I said, I can’t reproduce this. I would contact Sony and see if they can.

Yup. Raising or lowering the volume in the mix should definitely affect the rendered volume. It looks like it might be something unique to your computer.

THAT would not be the first time 😉
Researches would have a field-day with all the weird stuff that’s happened uniquely to my computers over the years.Thank’s for trying, though! I’ll get some more examples together and contact Sony.

Hi Rune,
I have the same problem. Through search engine, I came to this thread. Would you share your solution with me? I’m using Vegas Pro 11. Many thanks.
Stephen.

I was having the same problem using Vegas HD Movie Studio Platinum 11. Changing the audio sample rate when rendering, to what the audio track was already at helped to keep my levels level (I was using audio that I had brought in from REAPER). To do this go to Customize template>>Audio>> go to the Sample Rate dropdown. Vegas had mine set at 48,000 Hz. I changed it to 44,100 Hz (which I think is the standard rate for recordings, at least music recordings). If that doesn’t work, IDK maybe contact Sony. You can always bump up the volume a little as well to make up for the drop as a temporary fix. Hope this helps.

It’s important to point out that the standard audio sample rate for video is 48K. So if you’re making audio for video you should keep this at 48K. 44.1K is the sample rate for authoring music CD’s.

I see people are still checking this out, and I’ll just update by saying that I’ve never found a solution for this.
So I just live with it, getting annoyed every time I render video.
