Tutorial:Vegas Pro - Intermediate

This tutorial will go beyond the bare basics to get a standard parody published as prescribed in the Basics tutorial. This tutorial consists of assorted intermediate-level topics.

Muffled sound effect
You've probably heard this in action - sound effects that make it as if a music is played in the next room, or Hitler gets annoyed by the music playing in the Party Scene. It can be tricky to execute; even the best of Untergangers made mistakes in simulating this effect - too much of an echo, etc. Fret not - here I will show you three Vegas Audio FX plugins that will pull this effect off faster than you can say "epicly" and better than Tukhachevsky would describe it.
 * 1) Select the audio event, media or track. If you got a bunch of audio events to apply this effect to, it's better to group them together in a track and apply the FX to the track.
 * 2) Open up the Audio Event FX for the aforementioned object (event, media or track). Look for the telltale FX icon (green) and click on it. Alternately, for audio events, you can right-click on it, and a context menu with "Audio Event FX" will be shown.
 * 3) The "Audio Event FX" dialog would appear. Depending on which type of object you're trying to apply the FX to, a "Plug-In Chooser" dialog should automatically appear. If it doesn't, look for the green FX icon again in the "Audio Event FX" (top right-hand side corner) and click it.
 * 4) In the "Plug-In Chooser" dialog, select the following plugins (or if you don't have any of them, select an equivalent) IN ORDER:
 * 5) Reverb
 * 6) Equalization
 * 7) Resonant Filter
 * 8) Click OK on the "Plug-In Chooser" dialog. The three plugins should now appear in your "Audio Event FX" dialog.
 * 9) Set the plugins to these presets (refer to gallery images at the bottom of this section):
 * 10) Reverb - small metal room
 * 11) Equalization - bass boost
 * 12) Resonant Filter - muffler
 * 13) The FX should be done! Now play your project and listen to the epic effect!
