Good evening,
I used Vegas 5.0 to record 8 channel analog reel tapes by way of a M-Audio 1010 card and it worked out pretty good. Now I am working some them up as "new" projects and notice a repeat bummer. Maybe you know the answer....
KEY FACT: I created a 8template.veg and used it repeatedly for each 8 track "song" import job.
I save the "new" project and it uses, for example: Track 3 Recording 7, Track 4 Recording 7 and Track 5 Recording 7, etc. When I open that project (even after Save As under new name) I have to trip over finding tracks that never really existed in this session.
I will likely encouter and have to deal with: Track 1 Recording 1, Track 1 Recording 5, Track 2 Recording 1, Track 2 Recording 5, Track 3 Recording 1, Track 3 Recording 5, Track 4 Recording 1, Track 4 Recording 5, Track 5 Recording 1, Track 5 Recording 5, Track 6 Recording 1, Track 6 Recording 5, Track 7 Recording 1, Track 7 Recording 5, Track 8 Recording 1, Track 8 Recording 5, BEFORE it will load the tracks that ARE in the project! (Track 3 Recording 7, Track 4 Recording 7 and Track 5 Recording 7)
Yes the default track naming convention is dangerously confusing!
I'm reasonably sure that my template (8 channels ready and armed for recording) is to blame for this issue. So.......
How do I tell a Vegas project NOT to ever look for these bogus tracks again? It does it even when I create a brand new project and drag each track onto the grid separately.
Doesn't it seem reasonable that if I have three tracks saved in a project that it LOAD THOSE and NOT bug me for 16 tracks that do not apply? Is that so wrong? :) Help me break this chain....
TIA for any insights.... Tim (Pass4Human on Acid Planet)
