beep problem in audio when using audio effect in Vegas Pro

[Brian]

When I use the hammer effect in Vegas Pro audio effects to make weak voices
more dynamic I'm getting beeps during the playback. Has anyone had this
problem and found a fix for it?

Is there any other audio effect that will make voices more strong and
dynamic?

Would the beeps be indicating you have exceeded the dynamic range ?

Perhaps it internally works in floating point, has a very wide
arithmetic capability, but it's beeping at you to tell you
that if the track is rendered out, it won't be representable
in the final video file. The video file may not have the
same capabilities, as the math inside the editor.

If I was using Audacity, I would try Normalizing. Does
Vegas have a Normalize ?

Just a guess,

Beeps during playback generally mean that you're in demo mode which makes no sense whatsoever as Wave Hammer comes with Vegas. If it's not too much work (i.e. you don't have custom presets to worry about), try a reinstall of Vegas.

I found this. The plugin needs to be updated.

Vegas does have a "normalize" choice (with the possibility for
setting whatever "cushion" you want before clipping) - but that
would adjust equally the volume level of the whole clip. Vegas
also has a compressor/expander, which works well when used in
combination with normalization to bring up too-soft parts. Vegas
also has manual control over track volume in the track headers
at the left on the timeline, plus individual clip volume control
with a "band" within the clips, plus a clip volume filter in
the audio "FX" list, plus a key-frame "rubber-band" that can be
placed on the audio track by clicking on the track header of
interest, then hitting "Shift+V" (double-click on the resulting
rubber-band to place a control point, click and hold to move it
[it has volume change readouts that appear]). You can also use
the volume "dip" function to adjust volume parts within the clip.
(With "mumbling brides", I adjusted volume level manually, so
I could better "shape" the volume curves to minimize audible
background "pumping" effects.) In Vegas, one can also draw the
volume curves with a "pencil" tool, and the program can minimize
automatically the number of control points afterward (but be sure
to click on [in advance] the button in the overall Vegas header
bar that makes envelope changes stay with the clip if it is moved,
rather than with the track!). As with the picture, one can also
right-click on the control points and change their transition
characteristics. Plus other things are likely possible (Vegas
did start out as an audio-editing program...;-).

Paul, he's using Vegas, not Sound Forge so that suggestion isn't applicable.
Brian, do you have any external audio plugins on your system. I'm thinking specifically of ones that you might have downloaded the trial version and it's now expired.

I don't have any extra plug-ons for Vegas, just the ones that came with it.
But I do have Audacity installed and it might have the demo of Wave Hammer.

I was not having any problems using wave hammer in version 10 of Vegas but
now with using version 12 there is the problem.
Maybe its a bug in the system that relates to version 12 only. Does anyone
using version 12 have this problem?
I also have my older version of Vegas installed so maybe I need to
uninstall this. If I do would it upset version 12 in any way as I have a
number of custom presets so I don't want to have to reinstall version 12
again.

But knowing that the beeping is caused by the demo version is a start and I
might need to do some research on the problem.

Good to have some helpful replies thanks.

I have Pro 10, 11 and 12 installed on my work machine and everything is behaving itself.
Wave Hammer is specific to Vegas so Audacity shouldn't be the problem. Having said that, can you uninstall Audacity to see if it is the problem?

I may have to try a few things such as what you suggested.

A quick solution would be to load the video clip into Vegas Pro 10 use the
Wave Hammer on the audio of the video clip then compile the sound track as
an audio track and load the audio file into Vegas Pro 12.

There might be some way of replacing the Wave Hammer in version 12 with the
wave hammer in version 10 of Vegas Pro.

I really doubt that you could do that as Pro 10 was 32 and 64 bit while Pro 12 is 64 bit only.
Your idea to render out a a6 bit 48K WAV file from Pro 10 is the best solution until you figure out what's going on.

Yes. I have Sony Vegas Pro 13 and it beeps when I have too many audio tracks. Eliminate or combine what you can, or render the audio.

Galera o meu sony Vegas está tocando uns bips no meio do audio"!!
eu estava editando um projeto, o audio estava como eu queria.. mais depois
quando abri o projeto novamente ele estava com bips por todo o audio...
o que eu faço??

This problem started happening to me as well.
I started a video project late last night, got about halfway done with the project and I decided to go to sleep.
I got up this morning I opened Sony Vegas to find that my audio was beeping for some reason... So naturally I Googled the problem and found this form.


After playing around with the program a little bit because none of the answers here made any sense I started to notice what was happening.
I had been dealing with a project using different takes of video each of them had different volumes for the audio along with different problems such as
hissing and honestly I forgot to shut off my air conditioner LOL so you could hear it more in some of the video then you could in other parts,
so in editing I decided to take just the audio and put them in separate tracks this way I could add different compressors to each one.


So as I was trying to figure out this beeping problem I noticed every time I heard the beep the Audio FX button would light up yellow as if it were trying to give me a warning of some sort.
After going into the FX tab and turning off all of the compressors and added FX I no longer got the beep... Now I'm only telling you how to stop the beep...
I have no idea why it won't let me have multiple compressors on separate audio files without getting the beep...

Good luck!

got the same prob. If i go to the fx window and change any setting it removes the beep but only till we close the project altogether. If we come back to it another day ou even a bit later the beeps begin again. da fuck vegas

Make sure you're running the latest build of Vegas Pro. The demo mode is what causes the beep.

Notable fixes/changes Vegas Pro version 13.0 (Build 453)

Fixed an issue that caused the Wave Hammer Surround plug-in to run in Demo mode. The plug-in is now enabled in Vegas Pro.

mine still beeps with that and Vegas 14. it was working great recently, how do I fix it?

[coa...@gmail.com]

i just make the audio SFX in another Vegas, Such as Vegs 14, it doesn't have any issues, its just that using FX will make it look like you have a 6gb computer, even though you have 8gb or more. This issue has been going on for others with 16gb of ram, people with 32 and with a higher CPU doesn't, either its just me or Vegas is dumb :/
