Haven't tried Vegas Pro 9 yet? This update makes it a must-have. Download a trial  Tommy Tallarico and Video Games Live The New York Times called it a "captivating, proudly bombastic show." Sound designer, composer, and performer Tommy Tallarico has been using Sony Creative Software applications for everything from creating video game soundtracks to arranging and editing Video Games Live's overwhelming performances. To learn more about Tommy's work and the multi-media extravaganza that is Video Games Live here  UK-based electronic music artist, Dj, and producer Sharooz Raoofi has a hit on the British charts with his ACID-based remix of Moby's latest single, "One Time We Lived." Sharooz writes, "I've been using Acid since 2000 and find the timestretch algorithm second to none. I used it to stretch all Moby's vocal parts on 'One Time We Lived'. Acid is ideal for my way of working – it makes it easy to merge and splice loops and sounds of various keys and tempos and bring them together into one part, creating original rhythm and synth parts. The Sony EQ and Wave Hammer plugins are always used on the mix buss and play a pivotal role in sculpting the overall sound. The Sony EQ is genuinely one of the sweetest sound software EQs I have heard and having it installed as a default on each channel on Acid Pro 7 makes working with it even better." Download the remix here | Sharooz on MySpace  Producer, performer, and all-around nice guy Joe Vitale Jr. just finished production of the new Stephen Stills disc, "Stephen Stills Live at Shepherd's Bush" in Vegas Pro 9. "This past year I had the honor of working on the Stephen Stills Live DVD/CD "Stephen Stills Live at Shepherd's Bush" concert recorded in London in October of 2008. I was hired to do the digital audio editing for the 2 hour show. As with any project I work on, I turned to Vegas Pro 9.0. I have used every version of Vegas since it came out and 9.0 doesn't skimp on any features and made my production work seamless and smooth. I was given Quicktime 25 fps test footage from London in PAL format to do my edits. Being able to watch the show and edit made my work that much more enjoyable. I sent the rough drafts of the edits over to the Record Label (Rhino Records) who loved the mix coming from Vegas so much they hired me to do the final mixing for the show. Again, while I was mixing the audio, I was able to watch the performance and solo/mute instruments perfectly synced and in full screen. Relying on Vegas' ability to use DX and VST plug-ins, I was able to give the mix wonderful punch and sonic quality. The video production studio also requested 5.1 mix stems and Vegas pumped out all the mixes in both 2 channel and the stems for the mastering technician. Along with this project, I have also used all versions of Vegas on my debut album "Dancing With Shadows" which is also now available. Vegas along with all the Sony Creative Software products have been the main tools in my audio and video editing arsenal and continue to set the standard in digital audio editing on the Microsoft Windows Platform. Thank you Sony!"

But after creating a CD, you then need to think about distribution. Although you can burn discs as needed, there's an easier way: Many commercial duplicators can turn around hundreds (or thousands) of CDs within days at a reasonable cost. However, there are some important details you need to know when creating a CD for duplication.

He is also Executive Editor of EQ magazine, and Editor-in-Chief of www.harmony-central.com. Creating a basic text animation with the ProType Titler in Vegas Pro by Gary Rebholz  The Vegas Pro ProType Titler has become a hot topic as people continue to discover the potential that the tool contains for creating sophisticated titling for their video projects. So, I thought it was a good time to revisit the ProType Titler and give those of you who haven't yet used it the basics you need in order to get started. We introduced the ProType Titler back in September of 2007 with the release of Vegas Pro 8.0 and at that time we included a tutorial on the tool in this newsletter. This month's article is an updated reprint of that same article. It gives you a solid introduction to the tool and how you can use it to bring professional titles to your project.
