Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Trouble with audio playback quality

  • Trouble with audio playback quality

    Posted by Thad Bartlett on December 9, 2008 at 7:20 pm

    When I preview a video clip in the “Project Media” window, the audio sounds great. When I drag that same video clip to the timeline and preview it, the audio sounds like it was recorded in a cave. It sounds just as bad after it has been rendered. Any idea why?

    I solved my own problem. Apparently, I had added some audio effects when I was playing around with the software. (I only recently bought Vegas.) I didn’t realize that the effects for the track would remain even after deleting the track and adding a new one. I knew it had to be something obvious.

    “I didn’t realize that the effects for the track would remain even after deleting the track and adding a new one.”

    They don’t. If you added effects to a track and then deleted the track, those effects are gone. If you added them to a track and then deleted the event(s) you had on that track (but kept the track), then the effects remain and will affect any events you add to that track.

    My guess (if the above does not apply) is that either a) you added the effects at the project level or b) what you’re seeing are the default effects that are applied to every audio track (Track Noise Gate, Track FX, and Track Compressor). But the effect of these are minor, and I’ve never heard of them making audio sound like it’s coming from a cave. 😉
