I know they will work with Vegas 6.xx, but will they work with windows xp/intel 64 bit chips?

What about that Wve Hammer Loudness effect? For a down & dirty project the audio envelope is a very time consuming solution to varied levels of volume.
Also, thanks for the quick response. I thought I was going crazy! -
One caveat when using audio comression; the noise floor of hiss and/or rumble will be perceptully increased and become much more noticeable, especially in the quite areas of the track. Too much compression will also cause your audio to “breathe or pump” (this can be helped by making your release time longer than your attack time) which can be very annoying. Comression also reduces your dynamic range. This may make a voice sound bigger but may make a music passage sound very muddy. Compression is like hot sauce… a little bit may make it better, a lot will ruin it for everyone.

As a computer person I’m sure you know that Computers are like life and sewers…what you get out of them depends on what you put into them. Almost all generic OEM sound cards are quite capable of recording and reproducing satisfactory voice tracks. The human voice does not occupy a great deal of the audio spectrum.
If you have a quite area and a good connection there is no need for noise reduction. Simply record you tracks without overmodulating. use the Vegas effects and compress your track with about a 6 or 8 to 1 ratio and normalize to 90%…. you will have a great sounding voice over. Now the important part…use a good microphone and work it close. I have done voice over work all over the world for 30 years and price does not always equal quality. I suggest you check out http://www.heilsound.com and look at their PR30 or better yet PR40 microphone. For $200 you can get a mic that will blow away a Sennheiser MD421 or ElectroVoice RE20!
Good luck and let me know if I can help you with anything else

Hi Doug
This sounds like the machine I just bought from FullCompass. It is the new 64bit Intel processors and I took it out of the box plugged it in and it ROCKS! If you haven’t already checked it out, be sure to talk to them about the warranty. Yes, you can build a bigger, faster machine if you know what you are doing, but there is something to be said for the convienience of letting someone who knows what they are doing relieve you of that responsibility.
Happy editing and don’t forget that we are only weeks away from Vegas 6.0 etc.
