SoundCards and Audio Drop Out
when editing a project with many layers of SFX (5+) and heavy video effects, the sound will drop in and out. This makes it very hard to allign video and sound effets together and to edit altogether. Could I fix this by buying a quality sound card? (i currently run off of the motherboard sound) The cards i’m looking at are the EMU 0404 and the M-Audio Delta 410. The EMU advertises being able to render effects with out any CPU overhead, would this apply to effects in vegas also? i’m a little unclear about if the new cards would actually take all the audio load off the CPU. Would i be better off just spending that money on bumping up my +2500 CPU to a +3200?
Thanks, Scott

Since you mention heavy video effects, you could try pre-rendering or RAM rendering.

yes, i suppose i could, but could i solve the problem with a sound card? ive never done pre-rendering or RAM rendering, but i assume it includes some amount of waiting? my hopes would be that the sound card would lift enough load from the cpu that i wouldnt have to do that. althogh, i dont know if thats how it works.

Pre-rendering doesn’t help us. We are having the same issues – just terrible audio playback and near impossible to do sound design. This was never a problem on older versions of Vegas. We cannot even think of using any audio plug-in’s.
We are having the same issues on all our machines – 1 with Presonus Firepod, 1 with Echo Mia, 2 with Audigy 2’s. All using ASIO which is the only way to clear sounding audio playback in Vegas. All systems work great with same hardware and 20+ tracks in Premiere Pro but unusable in Vegas 6.
Sony has refused to acknowledge any problems and continues to blame it on user ot third party hardware error/drivers etc. – gotta love it.

well, i guess it doesnt sound as though there is too much hope for my plight, but i’m gonna head over to frys and get a 0404 and test it out in my computer. i’ll post my results.
