Organizing your plug-ins
Within the Plug-in Chooser dialog, you can
create folders to organize the plug-ins. This can
help you organize large numbers of plug-ins on
your system. You can create folders and then
drag plug-ins to the folders.
Applying non-real-time event effects
Non-real-time event effects are a different method of applying audio effects in Vegas. In all other cases,
event editing in Vegas is nondestructive, meaning that edits and effects are applied to events in real time and
not to the source media files, which remain unaltered. There may be times, however, when you want to
create a permanent file using an effect or effects. This may be useful in a very complicated project or when a
slower computer cannot process the effects quickly enough for a real-time preview.
By applying non-real-time event effects, you can make a new copy of a media file with the effects applied to
it. Vegas saves this new media file and adds it to the project as a take. For more information, see Working with
takes on page 91.
1. Select an audio event.
2. From the Tools menu, choose Audio, and choose Apply Non-Real-Time Event FX from the submenu.
3. In the Plug-In Chooser dialog, add plug-ins to create a plug-in chain. For more information, see Adding
plug-ins via the Plug-Ins window on page 129.
4. Click OK.
5. In the Take window, adjust the settings for the plug-in(s) to create the desired effect.
6. Preview the effect by clicking the Preview button ( ) in the Non-Real-Time Event FX window.
7. Click OK.
8. In the Take dialog, click Save to save the newly processed media file.
The new media file is saved and added to the project as a take.
