Vegas pro 13 audio track FX input gain

wilvan wrote on 5/17/2014, 2:14 PM

Had to add a few seconds tiktok ( for a clock ) which was sent to me as mp3.
Since could not hear it ( signal to weak )-> audio track FX ->track compressor -> input gain and increased this so it could be heard.
Nice and all well but when rendered to dolby digital AC3 Pro -> result is as if the input gain was not being applied ( one could not hear it ).

Opened vegas pro 12 with same veg ( lucky this is possible ) and rendered and all fine and tiktok loudness is exactly as when playing in timeline .

Repeated this few times and always same .

( render settings dolby AC3 pro are 100 % same in vegas pro 12-13 )

Could anyone try to reproduce this ?
I have to use this once and a while and therefore dropped vegas pro 13 for now , although bought.

Sounds like a bug, it might be best to just achieve what you want in a different way. Maybe render the compressed audio clip and reimport, or just normalize it or increase the event gain if you're not using the compressor as a compressor. Using a plugin just for the input gain dial is a somewhat clunky way to do it (unless you're using compression of course).

It is the input gain of the sony vegas pro audio track itself I am referring to and as I am doing once and a while since vegas pro 4 or 5 , can't remember.

Out of curiosity, why are you rendering to AC3 instead of WAV?

Have always rendered dolby AC3 Pro to be delivered for DVDarchitect together with the mpeg2 in order to make DVD's for clients since that is compatible with most DVD players.
Am recording 1920x1080 though here in Europe blu ray is still science fiction :-)
( and blu-ray disk still too expensive ..... for those little ( but many ) clients

This is in regards of shows recorded of dance shows , comedy theater , etc... where the clients are the dancers and/or parents-grand parents who want a DVD .
They all have DVD player at home .....

I understand the need for AC3 for a DVD. What has me confused is what you said in your original post.
Had to add a few seconds tiktok ( for a clock ) which was sent to me as mp3.
Did you add the raw mp3 clip to the file to be rendered?
There have been numerous complaints on here about using MP3 files hence my suggestion to render it to WAV first (after boosting the level that is) and then dropping it on your timeline.

Never ever had any problems with that and besides that , same veg renders as it has to render just fine un vegas pro 12 ( and 11 , just quickly tested ).

Never mind , we are going off topic here

Could Chris have a look at this issue with Vegas pro 13 since looks like a bug to me and as long as there , am obliged to keep on using vegas pro 12 .
Thanks
