Monitoring audio levels
While you’re recording, a responsive meter is provided in the track
header to monitor the incoming signal level of the selected recording
device. It is important that you record with the highest signal possible
without clipping.
A reading of 0 dB is the maximum for a digital signal. Clipping occurs when the incoming signal is too high
to be represented as a digital value. The result is distortion in the recording. A clipped signal will be
indicated by a red Clip warning at the top of the meters.
Right-click the meters and choose a command from the shortcut menu to adjust the display of the meters.
Using record input monitoring
This feature is available only in the full version of Vegas software.
If you’re using an ASIO audio device and you want to hear your recording signal with real-time track effects,
you can turn on input monitoring.
To turn on input monitoring, click the Record Device Selector button ( or ) and choose Input Monitor
from the menu, and then choose
Auto or On from the submenu. During recording, your signal will be played
back with the current track effects chain, but a dry (unprocessed) signal is recorded.
When Auto is selected, you will hear the input monitor signal when playback is stopped and during
recording. If you’re recording into selected events, you'll hear the input monitor signal only when the cursor
passes over the selected events.
