I had been using Vegas 2.0 for audio recording and recently have started using Vegas 4.0. I am having a very strange problem with overdubed parts. I recorded all of my drums and a scratch part from my guitar player.
Everything there is ok.
I then had a couple of band members overdub a keys part and a guitar part. simultaneously. Then later we did a bass part.
problem 1
Not only did the two parts od'd not line up with the drums, they didn't line up with each other. The odd part is I can't simply slide the parts into sync. It's as if the od'd parts are streched out longer than the parts recorded 1st. I have to go and line up a little bit at the beginning and then gradually line up repeatedly as I go through the recording.
problem 2
I am playing back from one hard drive and recording to another. I am also getting some "gapping" or stutters when recording and playing back simultaneously and have repeatedly adjusted the buffer. If I play back and record to the same drive, it only makes the problem worse. I have even tried utilizing my external firewire hard drive and have the same issues.
It shouldn't be a memory/ram issue. The internal drives are 40 gig each. The external is 80. The processor is 1ghz. my ram is 768 mb.
I am using an STAudio interface. Should I be using MME, ASIO, or GSFI? My sample buffer in the STA inter face is set at 512. and sample rate is 44.1.
I also have a MOTU 828 mkII firewire interface but haven't even used this in this project.
I am so lost right and and utterly frustrated.
