lastnight i downloaded the demo of Vegas 6.0 from sony's site. thought i'd give it a test run. now so far i've been very pleased with the products from sony, Acid 4.0 and Sound Forge 7.0. i am progressing to the point of where i want to do multi track recording, which Vegas is very capable of doing.

just to give you a heads up on my method of recording. in Acid i like to create a region and set it to loop while i record. that way i can do a number of takes of the same musical piece over and over again. then take that recording into Sound Forge, crop out the take i like best, loop it in acid if need be, and presto a beautiful recording.

so i read the Vegas manual to learn how to record and it seemed simple enough. it was pretty much the same as Acid except for a few differences here and there. the one difference that really bugged me was when i created my region and set it to loop while recording. it looped, yes, but it also looped my recording. so each time it looped, it was like the recording was "starting over" with a new take. i hope you understand what i'm getting at. this is pretty much my only gripe about vegas. is there a setting to correct this issue or is it already set in stone that way.

so knowing my issue, do the majority of multi-track recording programs record in the same manor as Vegas. tonight i'm going to test out the demo of some Steinberg software.

p.s. one more gripe, in vegas the project tempo is only visable if you open up the project properties window. is there any way to make it visible like it is in Acid???
