New computer

[Renton Maclachlan]

For what it's worth, this is what I got:

Case: COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1
CPU: Intel Core i7 2700K Sandy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo)
MB: Asus P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 Motherboard, Socket 1155, Intel Z68
GPU: EVGA 012-P3-1578-KR GeForce GTX 570 HD 1280MB
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold, 1200W ATX
Memory: Kingston 1600 16GB

Am looking at a 6Gb/s HDD to go with all my other ones...

HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal

Just about to get going with my new computer...loading programs...

Just to clarify the relationship between Vegas Pro 11 32 bit and 64 bit...I'm loading both.

Also...I'm not sure of all the questions to ask on this so if any are aware of questions I should have asked, don't be constrained by mine...

I take it .veg files produced in 32bit will open ok in 64bit. Can files saved in 64bit be open again in 32bit? Can a project produced in 64bit be saved in 32bit?

I ask this because Cinescore - which I have a lot of - is only 32bit. I'm aware I need to go back to 32bit vegas to produce my music...then take the music back into 64bit. But it seems to me that when producing music one needs to be able to see how it interacts/goes with the video rather than just produce a piece of music of x length determined by a slot in the project, and then bung it in that slot. It would be nice to take even a cut down copy of the project back to 32bit for music production.

Also what happens to any compositing done...going either way...assuming you can go either way?

Not sure of all the questions to ask on this so if any are aware of questions I should have asked

not sure of your workflow but: (when i was using cinescore);

i would finish picture edit in 64, import into 32, do my audio mix, send back various wave files to 64, then render....

I'm not sure about my work flow either at this moment...:-)

So...does this mean that a project - finished or not - can go back - as it is - from 64 to 32?

When you say 'import', is that a general discriptive term or a specific 'import' command...in 32?

i would 'lock off' picture edit. ie. client confirmation that they're happy with visuals (or i am on my own projects ;-)

i would then render out video (with mix), and wave files for sync and any other tracks i might need to 'play' with.

in 32 i'd do a comprehensive sound mix, and then render a single wav file which i'd ten drop back into 64. so, in 64 i have picture edit, unmixed sound, etc.,

i'd simply mute audio tracks in 64 and lay the mixed audio wave in.

of course, i'de keep all the relevant veggies and files until the cheque had cleared ;-)

Thanks Leslie. I get how to do it now. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out...

With the new computer set up now, I'm ready to go...hope it performs as anticipated...
