I ran a test at home with Vegas 5 running 4 tracks (2 stereo) from my vxpcket 440. I let it reocrd and it appeared that when it got to 2 gig limit on each stereo track that it quit (~1.8 gigs) It froze my machine. The files were definitely wav files though. I have not tested creating a project and saving them as w64 files (much like a template) then opening and start recording that way, so that is on the agenda. I know Vegas supports w64 files though. There is a little check box in preferences to enable file support via w64 for larger files but nothing about recording directly to w64. I need to work with it more though. I might roll back to an earlier version of Vegas as well to test.
wav > w64. It appears that Vegas 5 records in wav and the only way to get w64 files is to render the wavs to w64. Sorry for the lack of explanation earlier.
What I am doing is opening Vegas, adding 2 stereo tracks, assign each of the tracks to an input on the soundcard and arming both for recording. Hit record and go from there.
When I save the project as a veg file, it still shows the recorded files as wav files. I will double check though and make sure. I was just curious if I was missing a preference setting somewhere? Maybe my comp just froze up coincidentally when each track reached 1.8 gigs. Which could also be the case. I know SF will record forever and you can save it into whatever format you like, just seems Vegas is not as friendly with the options.
Thanks for the help guys. T's to you all.
