View Full Version : Audio visual in Vegas
Steven Davis November 8th, 2010, 07:44 PM I know, I used the words loosely, but does Vegas has a visual way to see what you hear, for example, like the EQ, is there a way to see the peaking on the EQ channels. So if my highs are just too high, can you see that in Vegas?
Don Bloom November 8th, 2010, 08:35 PM The audio busses have meters that run green with the db level next to that. Thats what I always use. Oh yeah it will show red when the levels are that of a 747 at full take off power ;-)
Steven Davis November 8th, 2010, 08:37 PM Thanks Don, I use those regularly, I was just wondering if I could get more detailed than that. hmmmmm
Don Bloom November 8th, 2010, 08:39 PM Make it taller. Then you'll get a better look at it. I keep mine on my 2nd monitor and have it almost top to bottom so I can see the numbers (damn old eyes) Its actually pretty accurate. (The meters, no so much the eyes.)
Michael Hutson November 9th, 2010, 02:22 PM Don, How does one get the meters to be displayed on the second monitor? (Thanks in advance)
Edward Troxel November 9th, 2010, 03:34 PM All the windows in Vegas can be docked/undocked. You just need to undock it and resize and move it to the second screen. To undock a window, look at the column of dots in the upper left corner of that window. Click and drag the dots and you will undock it.
Jeff Harper November 9th, 2010, 08:39 PM No Steven, I don't think Vegas has a graphic eq built into it that I've seen.
You could export your audio to Soundforge, etc I imagine but that isn't what you're looking for I'm sure. You probably want to keep an eye on it as your editing your video, I imagine.
Chris Barcellos November 9th, 2010, 09:04 PM Actually there are all kinds of effects, including graphic equalizer available both for a track and for individual clips. The sound plugins are added just like video filters. Screen grab below shows what it looks like.
Jeff Harper November 10th, 2010, 09:48 AM Chris, yes Vegas has FX but I thought the OP wanted a live graph that shows volume of the various frequencies as the audio plays. I think we've referrred to it as an EQ, but I thought he meant an audio bus type thing that shows volume levels at all frequencies. That I didn't think was available in Vegas.
Mike Kujbida November 10th, 2010, 10:47 AM I vaguely recall that being available as a VST plugin but a search through the free ones I've accumulated over the years didn't turn up anything :-(
edit: my mistake.
There's one at http://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Product_FreqAnalyst/ that should be what Steven wants.
John Isgren November 10th, 2010, 02:13 PM Sounds like you are looking for a spectrum analyzer. Try this one. I think it works in Vegas, although it has been awhile since I have played with it.
