vegas 6 audio levels
Hi…am new to Sony Vegas 6 and was hoping someone could help me with an audio question. I noticed that when i load clips into the timeline they are loaded with a level of 0db. Some tracks sound softer so i have been adjusting them by ear using the volume sliders for each track to balance the sound. Would anyone know how to make sure the volume levels are adequate before i render to mpeg2 files? I don’t want to set the levels so high that they distort, however i would like the softer passages to be heard clearly.What settings would be optimun?…Thanks

Actually, they are loaded at whatever volume they are. There are numerous things you can do. Sounds like you’re using the track level volume slider at this time. There’s also a “volume envelope” which can be applied to tracks to provide variable volume adjustment throughout the track.
Then you have other tools at your disposal. For example, the normalize option will raise the volume of the clip so that the loudest point is the volume level you specify. Then you have effects you can add effects such as compressors to also help raise and level out volume levels.
