RECORDING AUDIO CHP. 9
Setup with mixer
This setup includes a mixer where the speaker and microphone connect. The mixer is then connected to the
computer’s sound card. Mixers usually have pre-amps built into them. This diagram does not show you an
instrument or a physical preamplifier, such as a rack-mounted component. The reason for this omission is
because these types of setups vary widely based on your mixer, instrument, and pre-amp type. Refer to your
components’ documentation for specific setup configurations.
Setup with digital multitrack
This setup includes a digital multitrack recorder with an optional MIDI synchronization component. Usually
you would have a mixer, a microphone, etc. connected to these components. Your particular setup will vary
depending on your equipment. Refer to your components’ documentation for specific setup configurations.
Synchronizing MIDI timecode
Vegas can generate (output) MIDI timecode to synchronize external devices with project playback or can be
triggered by MIDI timecode generated by an external device. To output MIDI, from the
Options menu,
choose
Timecode, and choose Generate MIDI Timecode from the submenu. To allow Vegas to be triggered by
an external MIDI device, choose
Trigger from MIDI Timecode from the same submenu. For more information,
see Triggering from MIDI timecode on page 149 and Sync tab on page 276.
