Effect List
Troubleshooting
Audio Effects breaking when moving from Vegas 19 to 21
If you upgraded from Vegas 19 to 21, you may notice that certain audio effects, namely Distortion and Vibrato, will cease to exist. This is caused by a faulty DLL and can be fixed by moving the V19 versions into the V21 folder. Specifically, "C:\Program Files (x86)\VEGAS\Shared Plug-Ins\Audio_x64".
