Using an external audio editing program
Vegas software is a nondestructive editing environment, which means that the original source files remain
unchanged by any editing done in the software. Destructive (constructive) edits that modify the actual
source media file may be done in a separate application such as Sound Forge® software from Sony Media
Software. By setting up a separate audio editor, you can quickly access the program from Vegas software via
the
Tools menu or by pressing .
