Item Description
Waveform display 
while recording
Choose a setting from the drop-down list to specify how to display audio 
waveforms while recording:
n  Don't show waveforms: No waveforms will be displayed on any tracks 
until the recording process has been completed.
n  Show waveforms for a single track: Selecting this option will display 
waveforms only when a single track is armed. If you arm multiple 
tracks, waveforms will not show.
n  Show all waveforms: If you are arming multiple tracks for record, all 
tracks will display the waveform during recording.
Normalize peak level 
(dB)
Use the slider to change the default Peak Level settings. This value will be used 
when you use the Normalize event switch. For more information, see "Applying 
Switches to Events" on page 175.
Import audio at project 
tempo
When this check box is selected, ACID loops are automatically stretched to 
match the project tempo (specified on the Ruler tab of the Project Properties 
dialog) when you add them to the timeline or preview from the Explorer 
window.
When the check box is cleared, tempo information is ignored.
Record to Broadcast 
Wave Format
When this check box is selected, Vegas Pro records Broadcast Wave Format 
(.bwf) metadata when recording .wav files. You can view this information on 
the General tab of the Properties dialog for an event. For more information, 
see "Editing Event Properties" on page 180.
Included in the .bwf metadata is a Time reference value. This item tracks 
where on the timeline the file was recorded. When you import a recorded .bwf 
file, it is added to the timeline at the same location it was originally recorded.
The originator (Vegas Pro)  and originator reference (a unique ID number), are 
also recorded.
