Okay- I figured it out- FOR FREE.

Vegas really needs a color correction tool like you get in Adobe Elements- the ability to tweak individual colors- a 6 color channel thing- it doesn’t have it.

HOWEVER- I stumbled across this free plug-in, that does EXACTLY what I need– i.e. I can now get my cheap single CCD CMOS camera to give me correct reds.

Here’s the plug-in:

It is a six color vector correction FX.
Works easily and beautifully, and does what Vegas SHOULD have the ability to do, but doesn’t.

Incidentally

I do use audition 1.5 with a Firewire 410 without any problem.

Choose FL 410 MULTI for playback and recording in the device order dialog box

make sure you’ve chosen the same FW 410 in the Control Panel/ Sound and Audio Devices/Audio for playback and record as well

Make sure in the Firewire Control Panel you’ve turned on channel 1/2 in the mixer

Good luck

Same problem here with Audition 3

PC

I have Audition 1.5— works perfect, plays back perfect, same file, same Hardware

I’ve set all the Edit/Audio Hardware configuration properly

just perplexing, entirely

SOLVED

As I suspected, it wasn’t Audition– and it wasn’t the physical soundcard either–

It was the drivers.

Here’s what I did– I simply uninstalled the Creative Sound Blaster Drivers– and Windows then found the hardware itself on the next reboot, and installed it’s own drivers– and apparently the correct ones…

Now it all works perfectly.

It may be that the drivers I downloaded from creative.com were SUPPOSED to be the correct ones- but were not, but apparently close enough that they let themselves get installed without being rejected as not matching the hardware— but not close enough to work perfectly.

Windows XP then correctly identified the hardware exactly, and installed the perfect driver match.

Voila.

Thanks–

Actually, the computer with the trouble has a Creative Sound Blaster LIVE! card

and I just installed the latest drivers— nothing.

On my own machine I’ve got both a Creative Platinum Audigy 2 ZS and I can monitor and hear the input, no problem. I also had an older Audigy 2, and it also worked fine.

I also have an M-Audio Firewire 410, but it has it’s own monitoring system so it doesn’t really apply to this situation.

On some thread, I read that AUdition 1.5 doesn’t support direct monitoring– but um, that seems contradictory to the fact that both of us are doing exactly that.

So…. my guess is that the Live! card is either defective, or the drivers are basically crap in this regard.

I did download these drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS off a torrent:
Creative Drivers by Daniel k April 08 that I successfully am using on my own system, and will try to use them on my friend’s Live! system and see if that works.

If not, we’ll replace the card.

My guess that the card drivers, even the new ones I used, have a problem, because for about 10 seconds after installing the new drivers we HEARD the input signal, and then it vanished again for good. Probably the stock Windows driver is okay, but once the Creative drivers settled in, zap–.

Back soon with the results— thanks

Yes, we are running up against the same thing here

I’ve been using Audition 1.5 for YEARS on my own machine– I;’ve made several FEATURE FILMS with it.

I put it on a friend’s computer, and we get playback sound, and everything works fine–, and we too, for some reason I haven’t figured out yet– does not allow us to HEAR the input signal while recording.

So, before y’all get too jolly poking fun at this fellow, he has a legitimate problem, that I, someone with 3 decades of engineering experience, including about 8 years of Audition 1.5 experience, also share.

I know this program upside down, and have checked everything– it’s still a puzzle. If I figure it out, I’ll post

It may be that people merely trying the Trial version, or using a hacked version will encounter the lack of features disabled will encounter such problems.

Okay, I called Sony today– mpg and other selected features are DISABLED until you REGISTER your copy.

It would be nice if this was mentioned somewhere where it was obvious, but alas, I and others have not seen it mentioned.

Maybe somewhere, maybe not.

Voila.

And uninstalling DVD Architect to solve the problem is an absurd measure to correct it.

Yes yes yes

Totally retarded– That’s why I haven’t uninstalled Vegas 7e

No reason except for the typical bugs any new program has.
Why Sony Vegas programmers missed this is beyond me.

Just stupid.
