innacurate waveforms

I thought this had been addressed before but in looking
through old postings was unable to find the answer: I use
Vegas primarily for mixing multitrack audio for eventual
dubbing onto video. When importing wave files, everything
works perfectly. However, when I record directly onto
Vegas, the waveform in the recorded event is behind the
audio by about a quarter of a second. If I zoom in, the
waveform shifts to the correct position, but shifts back
when I zoom out. This makes it very difficult to line up
tracks or cut unwanted sections accurately. Once I mixdown
to a new file the problem disappears. Is this a bug or
something to do with hardware configuration?

Another unrelated question: On multitrack playback, I
often get random static popping, which is really worrisome
if I layback to video or onto a da-88 using Vegas. I
recently had my system overhalled - I never had this
problem previously. Any suggestions as how to clear this
up?

Thanks

Hello Mark.

This video issue comes from video card driver problems, I would
suggest upgrading your video card drivers from the manufacturers
website.

Also, sometimes incorrect BIOS settings cause pops and clicks in the
soundcard playback, unfortunately this is hardware related and we can
not offer too much assistance in this realm.

You could contact the soundcard manufacturer for assistance with this.

Thanks!

OK I had a TOTALLY frustrating problem with this

I need to clear out all the junk on tom tracks when toms arent
actually being hit....
If I was zoomed in the cursor/wave relation was correct, but after a
bit of zoom out, it would jump...and if I cut, I would cut of the
stick hits....RIDICULOUS

But!!!GOOD NEWS!
If this is the same prob you have....just delete the *.sfk (peak)
files from the project, this will force a rebuild and everything
should line up just perfect...

This is definitely a bug - I have complained about this for months
and it still exists in 2.0 buil 273. I REALLY wish they would fix
this!

The workaround has been mentioned, just delete your .sfk files
and the problem will be fixed.

Rest assured Charles & others, we know about this problem and we WILL
fix it before we ship VV.
