Setup with mixer

This setup includes a mixer where the speaker and microphone connect. The mixer is then connected to the computer’s sound card. Mixers usually have pre-amps built into them. This diagram does not show you an instrument or a physical preamplifier, such as a rack-mounted component. The reason for this omission is because these types of setups vary widely based on your mixer, instrument, and pre-amp type. Refer to your components’ documentation for specific setup configurations.

Synchronizing MIDI timecode

This feature is available only in the full version of Vegas software.

Vegas software can generate (output) MIDI timecode to synchronize external devices with project playback or can be triggered by MIDI timecode generated by an external device. To output MIDI, from the Options menu, choose Timecode, and choose Generate MIDI Timecode from the submenu. To allow Vegas software to be triggered by an external MIDI device, choose Trigger from MIDI Timecode from the same submenu. For more information, see Triggering from MIDI timecode on page 206 and Sync tab on page 344.
