Vegas Lacks
Folder tracks and the second feature stopping me for doing sound post in it is the ability to drag the volume handle upwards on a track. Im not talking about normalizing or adding a volume plugin which is a blind way of doing this, i mean like cubase in which you can drage the handle upwards and the waveform updates. Kind of sad not to see this implemented. Any work arounds that are similar? without soundforge

i mean like cubase…
Cubase is Steinberg’s DAW. ACID Pro is Sony’s DAW. ACID has folder tracks already. I too would love to see folders in Vegas but also for Video tracks as well.
You should look at ACID Pro and see what’s missing for you, then ask Sony to add those features to ACID. Vegas has primarily been focused on Video these days although it’s still an exceptional audio app.

personally – i prefer to take my audio and edit a master file outside of vegas ie sonar, cubase, etc render your master audio file and pull into vegas.
vegas is only so-so for audio imo better off processing it in your favorite audio application

I mix everything in Cubase and then do “stems” (basically subgroups) and render those to use in Vegas. I do a little processing in vegas but nothing major….have had good results with this!

its really too bad these features are not implemented. I think if vegas had folder tracks, the ability to pull up the volume envelopes past 0 and other DAW features, rarely would anyone need to roundtrip. I wonder if sony has some kind of deal with steinberg not to do this because many of us asked for these features several versions ago.
Thanks for your replies.

Pulling audio up “past zero” is not always a good thing and headroom can be found by lowering all your other tracks, a little more work BUT keeps you from cliping. I have found that Vegas IS a reasonable DAW, however, it is what it is. I have done a fair amount of “remixing” of my stems in Vegas with very good results….plugins are the key, Waves, Izotope, and Antares have all given me good results in Vegas…plus I LOVE being able to output to Sound Forge to do more detailed editing, much nicer than the editor in Cubase IMO…good luck!!

the ability to pull up the volume envelopes past 0
I’m not sure what you mean by this. Vegas volume envelopes go up to +6dB past 0. It just doesn’t change the view of the waveform. I think you may be talking about the Gain control. This is NOT a volume envelope. The volume envelopes start at 0dB and go up to +6dB and down to infinity.

Yes scott, my wording may have been confusing. Its the ability to turn up the gain while seeing the waveform update. As you know, this may be helpful in matching volumes across clips without normalizing.
I usually work with 2 or three dialogue tracks, 2 music, several sound fx tracks also. This can become clutter very fast, i would love to see the folder tracks implemented, i also love the look of the mixer in cubase and wished vegas had it. Of course its not just about the looks, i just find it easier.
