The music aspect of the software is generally well-received, with users appreciating its capabilities for adding and editing audio tracks in video projects, making it suitable for both amateur and professional music producers. However, some users report issues with crashes and limitations in volume control, which can hinder the editing experience. Overall, it serves as a versatile tool for creating music videos and other multimedia projects, despite some technical drawbacks.
- “I'm a bedroom record producer and I've used this to make my music videos.”
- “This also means you can use Sony Vegas as an audio converter to create music playlists and gapless albums (export to .mp3, .flac, .ogg, etc.).”
- “Since I mostly make music videos, I'm having a blast with the movie studio!”
- “I think the game lacks much of a soundtrack.”
- “Whenever I load in audio or music into the software, it doesn't play.”
- “(Example: adjusting volume, say you do what I do and like to add a lot of background music, but you also like to customize the volume at different points frequently. Unfortunately, all they provide easily is 1 volume changer per track, so either make several tracks for all the different volume changes or you can go into sound effects and find a volume changer there, which for some reason doesn't allow you to increase volume as much as the other option does.)”

- “As you can see, I used this program for a long time, no problems, no troubleshooting or anything.”

The optimization of the software is widely criticized, with users reporting poor performance, frequent crashes, and a lack of compatibility across different systems.

- “(great price-performance ratio!)”

- “There are cheaper softwares on the market with better performance and content.”
