Steps

  1. 1
    Now, we can record audio directly in Sony Vegas Pro using a USB mic
    .
    We can do this by going down to the timeline, right-clicking and adding an audio track if there's not one already.

    Go over to the red circle button with another circle in the center, and click that
    .
    It will then ask us to set a folder where we want to save the files. We can just leave it at default, or desktop, or anywhere else. Just press "OK" to that once we've found a good file.

    On the bottom left-hand side, we will see a bar
    .
    Whenever we talk into the microphone, it will go up. This shows how loud the microphone is, and we don't want it going up too high, like up into the red. We don't want it to fill up all the way. Three-quarters of the way is a good setting.

    We can talk into the microphone, and it will record to wherever we decide to save the file
    .
    Once we're done, we can hit the "Record" button again, and it will tell us what file we've recorded. Press "Done", and now it will come up as a file that we can play.

    Let's play through this and see what it sounds like
    .
    Click the "Play" button. Now we can record into Sony Vegas Pro. We can do this as many times as we need to. This way, we don't have to use another program like Audacity to prerecord our work. We can record directly into Sony Vegas Pro, which can save a lot of time in post-production.

How do I get Vegas 7 to see my USB mic? It hears jack in but not USB in. The video starts with Vegas hearing the USB mic and does not explain how to get there.
