Vegas audio sync help.

Ady told me how to sync the stereo mixes in Vegas and to sync them to the GOUT audio, which I have figured out and have all done but Jedi at the moment, but now I need to know how to sync up the '97 SE LD DD 5.1 audio to the '97 SE broadcasts?

The stereo mixes were kind of easy, drop the GOUT audio into track 1 and then the LD audio into track 2 and start comparing, but how do you do 6 separate tracks? or is there a way to make a 6 track wav file instead of having all the separate tracks?

It is possible to make a six-track WAV file, but Vegas is unfortunately not able to edit such files.   Vegas should be able to edit this sort of file really. 

It is a joke that editors that cost hundreds are so limited in terms of what they can actually do.  If Womble can edit an AC-3 5.1 file, then Vegas should be able to do the same with WAV, but there you go.

Vegas can handle six-track wav files as long as they are wav64 files.

But all you need to do is use something like Besweet to convert the 5.1 AC3 to 6 wav files and import them into vegas (making sure that your project audio is set to surround). then just assign a channel to each track

Thanks Ady, where do you set it to surround? and what audio should I use to sync to? just use one of the 5.1 upmixes from 1 of the broadcasts?

Is that a Vegas 8 change?  I did not know about wav64.  It seems to be similar to rf64.  That is very interesting.
