Chapter 6 Recording Audio and Adding Audio Effects

Recording audio

Vegas® Movie Studio HD Platinum software can record audio into multiple mono or stereo tracks while

simultaneously playing back existing audio and video tracks. You are limited only by the performance of your computer system and audio hardware. Audio is recorded to a media file on your computer and into an event on the timeline.

You can record into an empty track, a time selection, an event, or a combination of time and event selection. You can also record multiple takes for an event so you can maintain multiple versions of an event that you can play back and edit.

Tips:

•Select a media bin before recording if you want to automatically add your recorded audio to a media bin.

•To save track effects with your recorded files, create an effects package of the track effect settings and apply the chain to the event as a non-real time event effect.

•Press Alt+Down Arrow during playback to move the edit cursor to the playback cursor.

1.Connect an audio source to your sound card’s input.

2.Position the cursor where you want to start recording.

3.Select the Arm for Record buttons () on the tracks where you want to record. Arming a track enables it for recording.

When a track is armed, the track meter displays the track’s level.

Tip: Recorded audio will be saved in the folder specified in the Recorded files folder box on the Folders tab of the Project Properties dialog. If you want to choose a different folder, hold Shift while clicking the Arm for Record button.

4.Click the Record button () on the transport bar to start recording.

5.To stop recording, click the Record button again or click the Stop button () on the transport bar. The Recorded Files dialog is displayed.

6.Use the Recorded Files dialog to confirm the file name and location of your recorded audio. Click Delete or Delete All if you do not want to save the recorded files, or click Rename to change the file’s name.

7.Click Done to close the Recorded Files dialog. Your recorded file is displayed as a new event in the timeline, and the recorded file is added to the Project Media window.
