Vegas Pro 10 Audio Issues – Part 2
So, I posted here recently about some funky audio issues I was having with Vegas. I thought we’d solved the problem, but it turns out we were all wrong.
Every time I try to import audio from an external harddrive, Vegas converts the audio to a second of no audio, then a second of completely peaking audio, then a second of no audio, etc. Here’s what it looks like in waveform:
However, if I run that same exact audio file from my C drive, it’s perfectly normal:
Everyone pretty much agreed that my external harddrives were the issue, as older drives I was using didn’t experience this problem. However, that didn’t quite seem to add up, since Vegas was handling video clips and onboard audio with bitrates many times higher than the audio clips from my Tascam recorders that keep screwing up.
I went ahead and bought new, faster external harddrives and tested out importing my WAVs from them into Vegas. However, I got the same exact audio issue. Upon further investigation, I imported those same audio files into After Effects, Premiere Pro, and even Movie Maker, and they all worked perfectly running from the harddrives we all thought were the issue.
Apparently I’m the first one around here to have this issue. I’ve tried changing every setting I can think of and re-testing the audio, deleting the .sfk files each time. However, every time, it builds waveforms that should take a minute to build in a couple seconds, and they’re always a different pattern of totally-peaking, totally-silent, and the audio behaves exactly how the waveform would indicate.
I’ll be contacting Vegas about this ASAP, but of course it might be a few weeks or months before I hear back from them, and I’m working under some pretty tough deadlines for the projects I have now, so any suggestions whatsoever would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks so much, guys!

Hey Devin–
I’ve got something very similar, but it has to do with WAV files. They’re like you describe and, for the time being, I ask for AIFF files from the audio sweetening house if I’m getting audio files from the outside. I don’t know what’s causing it, because nothing’s changed and it didn’t used to happen.
