My aim is to play midi and softsynths in sync with Vegas. I tried using energyXT in Vegas. But I couldn't get the sequencer in eXT to work. It wouldn't start. Perhaps it's not possible to use eXT in Vegas.
Syncing Vegas, Sonar & Live 4

I've just got Sony Vegas Video which is super bad! But I want to sync it with Sonar 3/4 and/or Ableton Live 4. I've installed the Sonic Foundry Virtual Midi Router. But every time I try to use one of the virtual midi channels to link Sonar/Live to Vegas nothing happens. Does anyone at KVR have any experience of Syncing Vegas to any other host?

sorry munchkin, I have all three, but I do video in vegas and all my 'music' inside sonar, exported to a stereo audio file, and add any fx or spoken tracks inside vegas :/

Hmmm...how do you plan the music to fit the film? Do you make a mix of the film, load it into Sonar and then score the music in Sonar? And then mix the music to a stereo file and load it back into the Vegas film project?EricRichmond wrote:sorry munchkin, I have all three, but I do video in vegas and all my 'music' inside sonar, exported to a stereo audio file, and add any fx or spoken tracks inside vegas :/

Perhaps I should follow your example, Eric, and forget about syncing. No doubt my computer will probably explode with both of them running at the same time. I just wondered how it could be done. All the syncing capabilities seem to be there in each host but for some reason I can't get them to work.

munchkin, yes. With Vegas I just render the film to a format sonar can understand (should be much better now with sonar4!!!) and write the music against that, then render back out..
Maybe once I get more comfortable I'll try syncing up, even though the workflow isn't exactly the quickest, I know its solid. The reason I don't sync is because i'm worried that something will break, and either sonar or vegas didn't save, and I'd end up losing work or something.
If you figure out a solid way to do it, let me know
