Recorded files folder When you record audio tracks, your recorded files are saved in a
single folder.
If you want to change the location of the folder, click the Browse
button and choose a location. Ideally, this location should be on a
different hard drive than the one where your operating system is
installed. For more information, see "Recording audio" on page 116.
If you have not specified a location, you will be prompted for
the location where you want to save your recorded audio when
you click the Arm for Record button in the track header:

Ruler
Use the Ruler tab to change the format used to display the timeline ruler. Vegas Pro also sends tempo
information to tempo-aware audio plug-ins.
Item Description
Ruler time format Choose a setting from the drop-down list to choose how you want
the Time Ruler to be displayed. You may change the format at any
time after project creation.
Ruler start time Enter the desired starting time for the project.
For example, the ruler can be offset to start at 1 hour for timecode
synchronization purposes.
Beats per minute Enter your project tempo in Beats Per Minute.
This tempo is used to determine the scale of the ruler (if you choose
Measures & Beats from the Ruler time format drop-down list) and
to specify the tempo used by the metronome.
Select the Import at project tempo check box on the Audio tab of
the Preferences dialog if you want ACID loops to be stretched to
match the project tempo when you add them to the timeline or
preview from the Explorer window. Clear the Import at project
tempo check box if you want to ignore tempo information.
