CUSTOMIZING VEGAS PRO SOFTWARE | 431
CD Settings tab
The CD Settings tab allows you to set preferences for burning discs and extracting audio from your own CDs.
Sync tab
These preferences are used to set up Vegas Pro software to generate or trigger from MIDI timecode from external MIDI devices. For
more information, see Synchronizing MIDI timecode on page 240.
Setting advanced Sync preferences
From the Sync tab, you can access advanced settings by clicking Advanced. The Advanced Sync Preferences dialog has three tabs:
MTC Input, MTC Output, and MIDI Clock Output. The display of these tabs is dependent on your selections in the Sync tab. See the
following sections on each tab for more information.
Preference Description
Use strict Red Book
specification for DAO
validation
Select this check box if you want to be notified prior to burning a disc-at-once CD if
anything about your CD project is against strict Red Book standards.
These warnings are not critical, and in most cases you will not write an unreadable
disc if you proceed. Clearing this check box will not suppress critical warnings that will
result in an unreadable disc.
Include wide SCSI devices
when searching for drives
Select this check box if you want Vegas Pro software to scan for wide SCSI disc drives
when you attempt to extract data from or burn discs.
When the check box is cleared, Vegas Pro software will not scan for wide SCSI devices,
which can increase compatibility with some USB device drivers that incorrectly
identify themselves as wide SCSI.
Skip drive database;
autodetect drive capabilities
on startup
When the check box is cleared, Vegas Pro software will use an internal configuration
file to determine your drive’s capabilities.
If you encounter problems burning discs, select this check box, and Vegas Pro
software will test your drive to determine its capabilities.
Use SPTI direct Select this check box if you want to use SPTI (SCSI Pass-Through Interface) to
communicate with your disc burning drive.
Use legacy disc drivers Select this check box to use the legacy Vegas Pro disc drivers for burning discs
Clear this check box to use the Microsoft Image Mastering API (IMAPI) disc drivers to
burn discs in Vegas Pro software. This can be useful if burning discs with the legacy
disc drivers is not working as you expect.
Default All Restores all CD preferences to the default settings.
Preference Description
Generate MIDI Timecode
settings
Sets the output device and frame rate used when generating MIDI timecode.
Generate MIDI Clock settings Sets the output device used when generating MIDI Clock information. You can choose
the same device that you chose for Generate MIDI Timecode settings.
Trigger from MIDI Timecode
settings
Sets the input software or device and frame rate used when triggering from MIDI
timecode.
Note: When Sync is active (Vegas Pro software is triggering from MTC), media files are not closed (that is, cannot be edited outside
of Vegas Pro software) when Vegas Pro software is not the active application. You will also not be prompted to rename or delete
recorded takes as this may interrupt the synchronization.
