This forum's getting difficult to get anything useful out of.. seems a large number of users are too preoccupied with knocking other people's opinions!
Let's try not to make reponses sneering, rude or presumptuous. If you disagree with someone, please voice it in a polite manner, or don't comment.
Anyhow... What are the features - Audio OR Video that people would most like to see either added or fixed? Be it in an update or a new program version!
Oh, and don't get me wrong, I love Vegas - there are just always ways to improve on a great product!
Here are some of the features I think would be neat:
-----------------
1.) Reverse audio switch. Be great for effects! Reverse cymbals, guitars... could open up for experimentation!
2.) On a buss channel, the ability to submix again by sending to different buss would be useful! For example, a drum submix. I could have overhead L + R Mikes to Buss A, Kick to Buss B, Oversnare and Undersnare to buss C, Toms to Buss D, and send all these to Buss E to be globally compressed and EQ'd together! nice :oP
3.) Variable phase control. On track events, you must know we have gain envelopes at the top of these? How about a variable phase envelope (maybe without envelope points (that'd be very complex!). Instruments are rarely 180 degrees out of phase. This allow us to visually exactly compare two tracks to match up phase exactly! It would be great for Over and under snare drum microphones, and Bass DI and Bass Cab matching.
4.) Now's where this'll start to sound old. I'd like a simple sequencer. Within the program I know and love. It'll open up a lot of avenues for soft samplers etc, and give Vegas a better shot and dance and pop production! Also, it would open up Vegas to a more mainstream audio mass-market. Right now, I'm convinced that Vegas is the best audio - only software based recording system there is. Can't speak for the video side, but I've heard nothing but good things! There must be other users who want this? I'm sure others are happy to set up other ways round it.. and hell I do it! but wouldn't it be easier and more creatively conductive to contain the sequencer within the same program?
5) Vegas 3.0 is a great step up from Vegas 2.0, name changes or not. And yes we should pay for upgrades... (how are sonic foundry supposed to make a living...?)
There are a couple of stability issues... But I still believe ultimately Sonic Foundry listens to their customers, and is beavering away to sort them out!
If you have any more features you think should be added... put them after this post!
