Peyton, there is a simple solution to your issue. No need to go looking to another sound. Duplicate the audio of the person who’s talking (place above the person where you want to change the word out of his mouth) and find a word you want to replace it with and delete the audio before and after “that word.” That way, you have the same voice pattern and audio level.

Peyton, check out YouTube tutorials on your specific needs, such as this example… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZD2eujaxJA
As far as omitting the name/sound, highlight the sound clip, on the top menu, click “Insert” then click “Audio Envelopes, check “Volume.” You’ll see a horizontal blue line, right click before the mute section with two/side by side nodes, then two more nodes after the muted section. You then can manipulate by dragging down the blue line between the nodes to lower or mute that sound you want to mute.
Let us know how it turned out.

Tom, what you want to accomplish is called “masking.” Here’s a video that easily explains how to do it…..

You know what they say….”you get what you pay for”
That being said, I’ve been a member of Creative Cow and owner of Sony’s Vegas version 2 (before it had “Pro” in its name). Yes, I have not posted much, especially answers as I “read to learn.” Back in 2002, myself and Gary Gowman (he’s been long gone from this forum) had, what I suspect, was the first live classroom via My Space. Gary handled the monitor, movements around Vegas and his words to teach those around the world (I would provide the host duties and have anyone ask questions on how to accomplish a task) with live audio and video.
I’ve watched people come and go, I’ve seen/read posts from accomplished video editors such as Douglas Spotted Eagle, Ed Troxel, Tim Duncan and the only true professional who’s still associated John Rofrano. Those others and others who were either just learning or others who found a better, more stable and competent video editing software “jumped ship.” Also, I read through posts that were abusive, read through some that had grudges and a few downright feuds among themselves.
I’ve been attending NAB since the late 90’s, of course first going to the Sony booth to chat with the Vegas code writers and ask and learn from them. The past five or six years, I’ve seen Sony’s Vegas Pro degrade. Instead of improvements to the software, they’d subcontract or have a third party create plugins which created conflicts within Vegas Pro. Then, Sony added (with the knowledge Sony would abandon Vegas Pro) Cataylst video editing software. Seems it wasn’t as powerful as Vegas Pro. At Sony’s Booth at NAB that first year reps were there presenting Catalyst, only two reps were there, not much hardware associated with it was present. Just as I thought: ” a dud” of a software. You don’t hear much about it currently.
As I had previously mentioned, most of those who posted to Creative Cow back then are gone. I’m guessing DaVinci had taken over the previous duties as a decent video editing software with support and a great community to support it.
I feel bad for Gary Rebholz. He sunk his money and his life into the current state of Vegas Pro. He’s got to get his head back in the game and get users happy, not pissed because of the lack of support for the product.
As for “versions” of this software…instead of fixing issues within a certain version, Magix is creating a newer version so users have to buy the new version to get their software to work properly. Magix/Gary, you are losing the fight.
For myself, I will not purchase any further versions of Vegas Pro. DaVinci is looking better and better with each complaint posted on this forum. If any other user is thinking of “jumping ship” to another editing software, let us all know why you might do the same.

Something else to consider: Lubrication of the tape. Different brands use different methods of lubrication. If you use JVC, Panasonic brands, you may gum up the recording drum. Sony brand digital tape is considered optimum and won’t gum up the drum. Mix brands and you’re in for trouble.
My 2¢

Alan, glad almost all worked out well.
“No,” you shouldn’t have to have Vegas Pro open in order to view and/or produce another copy of an authored video. My first suggestion is to go to YouTube and type/search for “how to create a Blu ray disk.” First though, you should render your original video to Blu ray for optimum quality. You should be able to use that rendered video format to create a DVD in DVD Architect as well.
As for your “orphaned” music: I think you might have moved/deleted that particular audio track.
Instead of the above, you can create an ISO from the first copy of your authored Blu ray and make addition copies of Blu rays from that ISO file. A free software to use is Image Burn.
Let us know your outcome.

Alan, I understand what you’re looking for.
Here’s a link to a video (go straight to 12:25 on the timeline for your answer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h85gpG2dZ_4

You might consider changing your destination/render drive to anything other than your “C:\” drive. Then, re-evaluate the rendering times and post your results. I’m betting you’ll get a faster performance.

“Tags” works for me. In the Media Bin, I right click a clip I want to tag go to “Properties” and fill in the “tape name” with the tag word I want to relate. You can have multiple tag words by adding a comma after each word. Then click “okay.” Then, you can go up to “All Media” and do your search of the tag word/clip you’re looking for.

Johnny, “Budget” means “you get what you pay for.”
The above said…..Just this afternoon, I replaced my old (ATI Radeon 4850) GPU which became toast. I installed a GTX 750Ti. Albeit, a 2GB card, but it DOES provide CUDA’s for Vegas Pro. Newegg sells this card for $104.99. Can’t beat that based on your requirements.
