Okay, this just gets stranger and stranger.
So I took the very same clips and loaded them into Windows Moviemaker and lo and behold the audio renders just fine.
So, obviously, the problem is with Vegas Pro 8.
Anyone have any ideas what settings I should check. All the audio setting look normal.

That didn’t do it. Soundcard is working fine, but Vegas will not render more than fifty minutes of sound. I’m about to tear my hair out here.

Okay, as I look closer at this system, the genius who built it didn’t bother to load the drivers for the X-Fi audio card. I’ve found the disk and am loading them as we speak. Hopefully, this will fix it.
Sigh.

Actually, that solution was wrong. I was trying to remember it off the top of my head.
An easier way is to go into preferences, click the Audio Device tab, then click on “Advanced.” There’s a check box in there where you can choose “enable input monitoring.”
Once you choose that, you can go to your audio track header, arm it to record, then right click on the stereo/mono icon, choose Reocrd Inputs>Input Monitor>On. I believe Auto will work also.
If you use ASIO audio, drop it down to 2ms, you’ll barely hear the latency, if at all.

Good point. To monitor the effects while recording, I added an FX bus, right clicked on the track header near “Pan” and selected the FX bus for output. That did the trick.
The signal records dry, but you can listen to any effects you might want to use as it’s being recorded and even add or change effects on the fly. I wanted it particularly for gating a narration track (thanks to non-isolated computer), so that the narrator didn’t have to listen to the noise in his cans.
The problem, however, is latency. Even at 2ms, there is noticeable doubling. It’s slight, but definitely there. I don’t know if it’s worse than listening to the background noise, but either way is a compromise.
Maybe I should just isolate my computer and be done with it. But the gate does a superb job of cutting it out without making it sound artificial.
I’ve considered a hardware gate, but short of buying a $99 Beheringer unit, I’d rather not spend the cash.

Well, I see no one else has come up with an answer. Maybe I didn’t state the question clearly. Nevertheless, I’ve figured out how to do it.

That is weird. As soon as I turn it on, I get the resampling message.
-
I figured out what I did wrong. I had, for some strange reason, changed “Reduce Interlace Flicker” to ON in DVDA. Ugh.
Thanks for playing.

Yeah, I’m assuming it’s operator error, too. It’s just been a while since I got my license and I’ve forgotten many of the proper maneuvers…
I’m already rendering the project again to see if that makes a difference, but I’ll also try powering down as you suggest.

Program is about ten minutes, no menus at all. AC3 file rendered separately. This is exactly the way I always do it, but DVDA doesn’t normally resample. I’m stumped.
