I get the import fine…to an extent.
Our video editor guys edit in PPro then send to me for audio sweetening. I just have them do a rough render of the video to sync to.
The audio tracks seem to double when I import, but I just delete the un-needed tracks and away I go.
It would be much simpler if people just used Vegas for everything like I do. 🙂

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot do an audio plugin on a clip by clip basis like you can with video events. That being said, I would assign the plugin to the clip on its own track and then render that clip with the Noise Reduction and then use the new clip in your Project.
or…you can just open the clip in Sound Forge and apply the NR there.

I’ve tried various brands and kits.
I have had the most success and most consistent results with the Quantegy firewire drives. They are a bit more than others, being the namebrand of high quality studio tape products, but they come with a hard carrying case.
You might find something else works just as well for you. Whatever the case, make sure you are checking the specifics of the HD in the case…that’s the most important part. Speed and access time is key.

It seems to be working normally for me.
I select a portion of the noise, open the NR, check the capture noise print box, click on the play button.
Can you explain more what steps you are taking in Vegas?

You can put them in any folder you want. I created a folder at c:program filessonyimpulses
When you open acoustic mirror next time, you just navigate to this folder to choose what you want to use.

Did you do any major software upgrades to Windows?
Mine is working fine with Vegas 6. Sometimes, if I have several instances of Vegas open…one might try and hold on to the external display.
Have you updated to the latest firmware from Canopus?

Edward or Gary,
I ordered the CD & training for Excalibur 4 a week ago. Do you know when they will arrive…or if they have shipped?

On the topic of levels…
It depends on what you are doing. Basically, if you are submitting a project for airplay or to a festival, etc. you need to check and see what their requirements are.
When I’m working on an “audio” project, my levels max at 0. When I work on radio programs…I peak at -3. When doing video, I worry less about peak and try to keep my levels consistent between -12 and -6.
Again, it is all about what works for the project.

That’s the best way I know how.
I remember back in my days at Gaither Studios. We would work on various projects and whenever we did multiple things at once…we always found errors after the fact.
However, when you take time and do one thing at a time, reviewing carefully…no mistakes.
I don’t think there will ever be a “shortcut” for Quality Control.

Larry,
It is called “project nesting.” It allows you to place a Vegas Project File into a new instance or timeline.
It can be a drain on your system…at least I’ve found.
