can't apply Autotune as non real time FX

Hello,

I've recently been working on a music project that requires Autotune in Vegas. I have much experience with the use of Autotune in a Pro Tools environment, but am having difficulty with it in Vegas. Autotune works in auto mode as expected in the FX chain of a channel, but when I try to use it in graphical mode, applied as a non-real-time effect on the event, it creates a new file/event as expected, but does not have the changes that I've made to the pitch.

I have tried various possiblities to apply the change: first, I would track the pitch, make my alterations and hit "OK", assuming that it would apply the changes, it did not. Second, after track and alter, I engaged "correct pitch" and hit "OK" to no avail. Third, after track and alter, I engaged "correct pitch", hit preview play button, then hit "OK", still not working. Just to make sure I wasn't crazy, I applied another effect non-real-time and simply hit "OK", and the saved file was processed...so what is going on with Autotune!

I love Vegas as an audio and video editing platform, so why can't I get satisfaction from Autotune?! Any help would be most appreciated.

thanks,
