hello vegas fam:
I need some help trying to figure out how to do sort of "pseudo Freeze" function in Vegas. I have migrated to a Laptop config and when on the
road I would like to mix & edit via headphones.
The problem is that when using 4 to 6 inserts per Track (especially the Waves plugs, or other CPU intensive plugs), the battery gets sucked
dry pretty quick. I can barely manage 40 min of work without shutdown.
So after thinking of what I can do (Including looking at the possibilities of Cubase SX) , I had a thought...
1) What about the "undo/redo history" features of Sound Forge 7?
2) I could click on a track in vegas. Open it in sound forge for editing.
process the effects and then re-insert the processed wav file in
vegas. Then disable the effects and lower the strain on the CPU.
3) I tested it and it works with the exception that after sound forge
closes, I cannot go back to re-edit or "undo/redo" edits because
this histroy is deleted when SF closes......right?
4) I tried to save in sound forge also as a ".frg " file. But Vegas
did not link the saved ".frg" file in SF7 with the processed wave file
now in the vegas project.
Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this ? (Or is it even possible)?
Am I missing something? or going about this all wrong?
Also:
a) I know one alternate would be to purchase "FxFreeze" to go with CubaseSX. ( the problem is Vegas is better for mixinig and arranging.
and FxFreeze only works with VST plugs).
b) also I could try to render the tracks to mono or stereo busses but
it makes lots of big files and they also cannot be undone.
c) I hate "samplitude 7". UI is just not intuitive like Vegas.
I welcome any other ideas on how I can accomplish this.
thanks a bunch
