OK, after reading back on SonyCow, I see that the preview quality setting “auto-change” is a new Vegas 9 feature. After turning that off, my previews (at a decent Preview Full setting) run much better. Still a bit (surprisingly) sluggish, but now workable.
I think that I remember reading somewhere on SonyCow that a beefier video card would not improve things, as Vegas is CPU dependent? Is that correct?

If you haven’t done so, I have also found it helpful to split Source, Destination and OS/Vegas onto seperate Hard Drives.

OK, I found the answer, in case this applies to the work of anyone else.
My add on, Excalibur, has the script to “Remove All Effects”. So, by highlighting all of the clips with the unwanted FXs, I simply hit the Excalibur “Remove All Effects” choice.
I am still uncertain whether or not this same thing could have been done with my stock Vegas8.

Let me ask it another way.
If you have the same FX applied to 100 clips, is there a way to remove this FX from all of them, in one step? As opposed to removing the FX from each clip, one at a time.
It seems that there must be a way to reverse the process of adding an FX to a group of clips.

I had not thought of that. Good thing to know. Thank you.

Frank, that makes sense and is consistent with what I have been told.
I appreciate your reply. Thanks!

Rick, thank you for taking the time to write a very helpful explaination and for providing the W1 link. This looks like exactly what I need.

It does appear that when the Wave Hammer is applied to the Master Audio—using its preset “Limit at 6db and Max”, with the Volume Maximizer set at -6 db —it does the job.
I’ll have to experiment with this, some more.
Thanks, Mike!

Mike, I am no doubt useing the incorrect terms, but it gist of it is that I need my final output render to not exceed -6 db.
After looking through the various audio FXs, in Vegas8, it appears that there must be a way to set this master cap, but I haven’t quite figured it out, yet. There was an audio filter (forget which one) that nearly capped the master output at -6, but it let a few spots exceed (so, close doesn’t count).
If anyone could kindly explain to me which filter I should be applying to the master audio, I would greatly appreciate it.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t think that there would be any harm (quality loss) by rendering my multiple (uncompressed) WAV files out into an audio editor, than apply the -6 db Normalization. Then, re-entering this (now) single audio track, back into my Vegas project.
I am assuming that uncompressed WAV files will not degrade with renders. Is this right?

I must be misunderstanding, but when I lower the Faders in the Mixer to -6, it seems to lower the overall volume by -6 db —as opposed to capping them at -6.
