Delete—removes selected file

Rename—changes the name of a selected file

Delete All—removes all files in dialog

Done—returns to track view

When a check mark appears in this box, Vegas software displays this dialog after each recording session.

Note: The Recorded Files dialog does not appear if you are triggering from MIDI timecode, as this would interrupt the synchronizing. Instead, files are automatically named and saved according to your preferences.

Recording into a time selection

By making a time selection, you specify where along the timeline to record. The time selection also determines how long the software records. Any selected events that occur within the time selection are split and the recorded data is placed into the time selection.

Recorded waveform

The event’s waveform is displayed as it is recorded and

automatically stops recording when the cursor reaches the end of the time selection.

Recording into an event

By recording into an event, you automatically create a new take containing the recorded material that is the same duration as the selected event. The edges of the selected event serve as the punch-in and -out points that are used for recording. Recording into an event allows you to establish a pre-roll before recording, which gives you time to prepare before recording starts.

Because the entire recording is saved to the media file (not just the material between the edges of the take), you are not limited to the recorded material contained in the length of the new take. You can adjust the edges of the event or slip the contents of the event if necessary. For more information, see Shifting the contents of (slipping) an event on page 107.

The existing event that you record into is not affected or deleted. Instead, the event now contains two media files, each listed as a separate take in the event. For more information, see Working with multiple recorded takes on page 206.

1.Place the cursor before the event to allow for pre-roll.

2.Press Ctrl and click the event to select it.

Tip: You can record into multiple events by pressing Ctrl and making selections.
