The “compressor” … setting the threshold at -24dB is the limit that PBS allows. This means that nothing will be compressed until it goes above -24dB. The “Amount” setting in the compressor sliders should be set from somewhere between 2 (meaning 2 to 1) and 3.5 (3.5 to 1)

The thing to remember is that the higher the compression (3.5) means that louds will become softer and the softs will become louder. Higher compression means less dynamic range.

So, in other words, if someones talking sort of loud and then their voice drops off to sort of quiet, the compressor will boost that low voice up and drop the loud voice down to even them out. I use to adjust all my volume levels with the volume envelope but this basically does that for you. Then the “Wave Hammer” keeps anything from going over a certain level so you are assured that nothing ends up with a volume over a certain limit. I put the compressor on the track level. Then the wave hammer goes on the master track.

This is how I have mine set up and I can thank John Rofrano for all the help that I’ve gotten about this and I’m just trying to pass some along.

With the help of others on the forum I’m able to produce a PBS television series so I know what you’re going through about the audio.
I’ll tell you what I do and maybe other can jump in.

First of all, (at least with PBS) they require that the entire program have an average audio level of -24dB. So how you figure out the average? Well, there’s a free program called “TB EBULoudness”. With that you run the entire show and watch the “intergrated loudness” meter. PBS wants -24dB but allows anything that 2dB either way. If you decide to get this meter, let me know and I’ll try and help you set it up as there are configurations.

But before I do that, on each audio track with voice I set my “track Compressor” for -24.0

Then on my master FX I set the Waver Hammer for -6.0dB. This keeps any audio from going over limit.

That’s about all I know. Hopefully others will jump in. I know it’s a huge issue. At least it was with me getting started.

Vegas is installed on my C: drive.
I edit my projects on a SATA drive and render them to the same SATA drive. Would it be better to render them to a different drive altogether or are we just talking about not having Vegas and the program on the same drive?

Explain it a bit more. What do you mean when you say you can only see the first two previews?

If you’re using a GoPro, the mp4 files it produces will gag with vegas11.
Also, do you have your preview set for “auto”?

Click on the icon in your video preview window that looks like a square with a black circle in the middle, right next to where you change your video preview settings. If that is depresses, then none of your FX changes will show up.

Yes, good advice. I’ll take off all FX on the event to which the match is going to be applied.

Not sure. That’s why I asked because when I moved the order around, I could see no visible change although I do know that the order plays an important part.

Thanks for the quick reply John.
I should have caught that.
Been editing so much my mind gets a little muddy. More so than usual.
