Vegas Pro 10 Audio Issues
Hey guys! Hoping someone can help me out with a major audio-editing issue I’ve been having with Vegas Pro 10 lately.
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:
If this issue was solved with Vegas Pro 11, I might just have to shell out the money to upgrade. Anyone know if it was?
Of course I could just keep trying to store audio for current projects on my C drive and video on an external, but it’s becoming such a hassle when I have 6+ projects at a time, each with massive quantities of audio files.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks a lot!

I don’t think 11 will fix this problem. I have never seen it in any version. Are you sure the file on the external drive is good? Does it do the same thing on all external drives? On all .wav files?

How fast is your external hard drive? (5400RPM?, 7200RPM?, Green?) and what interface are ou using? (USB1.1?, USB2?, USB3?, Firewire?, eSATA?) It may be a problem with your externail drive not being able to stream the file fast enough.

John, I think you may have hit the nail on the head, but I’m confused as to why this would be an issue, since importing video works just fine from this external. The audio’s bitrate is 4608kbps whereas a lot my video is around 40000kbps (hacked GH2) or 50000kbps (5D2).
I just tested my older externals and found that importing the same audio file I posted the screenshots of worked perfectly from there. The newer external I’m using is 5400RPM whereas the older ones I have are 7200RPM.
Very interesting that the audio would appear so corrupted after importing from a slower harddrive rather than simply lagging like video, which is what I would have assumed would have happened if my drive were too slow.

Yea, I agree that is very odd but sometimes it’s a combination of things that cause something to fail. Glad you found it.
