Vegas 5 Features:
Vegas 5 software includes a powerful set of audio tools for
the most demanding productions. Mix audio in a multitrack environment
on an unlimited number of tracks. Use on-the-fly punch-in recording,
real-time record meters, 32 assignable effects, 26 master and
aux outputs; perform automatic crossfades and take advantage
of hands-on mixing using external control surfaces and envelope
automation recording. No other NLE provides as robust an audio
feature set as Vegas software.
24-bit/192 kHz audio support -- Vegas 5 software supports full
resolution 24-bit/32-bit 192 kHz files for the ultimate in audio
fidelity. Import, save, and even record to this resolution if
your hardware supports it.
Extensive audio effects -- Apply over 30 customizable, real-time
audio effects. Automate delays, reverbs, EQs and more with envelope
control for each parameter. Use over ten automated effects such
as track EQ, reverb, chorus, delay, noise gate, and flange/wah/phase.
New 5.1 DirectX effects for the master bus include EQ, Dither,
and Wave Hammer Surround compression tools.
5.1 surround mixing -- Vegas software provides extensive tools
for the creation of 5.1 surround mixes*. Keyframeable surround
panning for tracks and busses lets you mix the most demanding
DVD soundtracks without leaving the Vegas environment. Apply
5.1-channel audio effects to the master bus for enhanced control
over DVD mixes. Export projects as discrete tracks for post-encoding,
or encode directly to Dolby Digital surround with the Sony Pictures
Digital Dolby-certified AC-3 encoder*.
On-the-fly punch-in recording (new in version 5) -- The Vegas
5 recording model allows for on-the-fly punch-in recording on
armed tracks while playing back your Vegas project. Record and
maintain multiple takes of audio into an empty track, a time
selection, an event, or a combination of time and events.
Auto-input record monitoring (new in version 5) -- Perform
tape style auto-input record monitoring with event ASR parameters
applied to the incoming signal. Monitor input signal when playback
is both stopped and during recording.
Enhanced audio time stretching (new in version 5) -- Vegas
5 software includes 19 new user-definable timestretch modes
that let you choose the resampling method that best fits your
audio material. Select: change pitch, change length; change
length, preserve pitch; or change pitch and preserve length,
by semitones or cents.
Acid loop properties support (new in version 5) -- Use Acid
loops in your Vegas project to perform easy video scoring and
audio mixing. Acid loops, or any audio event that has had Acid
metadata assigned to it, will auto-stretch to the existing project
tempo.
Keyboard event pitch shifting (new in version 5) -- Pitch change
Acid loops, or any audio event that has had Acid metadata assigned
to it, via keyboard commands and modify your audio mix in real-time.
Pitch, tempo and stretch amount information is displayed in
timeline events.
ASIO driver support -- In addition to supporting Microsoft
Mapper, Windows Classic Wave, and WDM drivers, Vegas 5 software
also supports professional-quality low latency ASIO drivers.
5.1 audio plug-in support for the master bus (new in version
5) -- Vegas 5 software includes three new 5.1 surround audio
effects; track EQ, Dither, and Wave Hammer Surround compressor.
Apply these included effects or any compatible third-party 5.1
channel audio effects to the master bus for enhanced control
over surround mixes.
Film-style 5.1 surround panning (new in version 5) -- The new
film-style surround panning mode in Vegas 5 software supports
panning between pairs of adjacent speakers using a constant
power model, and is optimized for theater-style speaker placement.
Downmix monitoring (new in version 5) -- Vegas 5 software provides
real-time downmix previewing of audio from 5.1 surround to stereo,
or from stereo to mono, to ensure that your mix will sound as
intended no matter what the destination playback device.
Bus-to-bus routing (new in version 5) -- New routing flexibility
provides a more robust structure for mixing audio projects.
Additions include bus-to-bus routing which allows the creation
of complex sub-mixes.
Master, auxiliary, and effects bus tracks -- Modify your project's
volume, effects, and panning at the sub-group level. Use new
bus envelopes to set track effect parameters, volume, and panning
for your entire Vegas project. |
