You don’t say what the recording was of, speaking, guitar playing or what.

So I just did some testing with a speaking voice with lots of reverb and found that if the recording has naked reverb noise that can be captured as a noise floor (1 second is plenty) then using the noise reduction filter to remove the ambient noise does remove a fair amount of the reverberation.
I was pleasantly surprised with this discovery and hope it works for you.
If you cant capture the noise alone, try capturing from another source file with plenty of room noise or reverb.
Good Luck

What media are you importing?
It could be a codec problem for either the video or the audio portion of the file as in you don’t have the correct codec installed.

I’m using Vegas8b and it works fine with DV footage. Haven’t looked at 8c.

You may want to uninstall Vegas 8b, then install again.
