To transform a short phrase like “Let’s Go” into a drawn-out “Let’s Goooooooo” in Vegas Pro, you’ll want to use a combination of time stretching, pitch shifting, and possibly reverb or echo effects to smooth it out. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you nail that effect:

🎛️ Step-by-Step: Extending an Audio Clip in Vegas Pro

1. Import Your Audio Clip

   • Drag your “Let’s Go” clip into the timeline.

   • Make sure it’s ungrouped from any video if needed.

2. Enable Time Stretching

   • Hold Ctrl and drag the edge of the audio clip to the right. This stretches the audio without changing pitch.

   • This technique is demonstrated in Sony Vegas Pro 12 Lesson 19 - How to Expand the Audio ..., which shows how to dive into waveform editing and stretch audio precisely.

3. Add Pitch Shift (Optional)

   • If stretching makes the voice sound unnatural, apply a pitch shift to maintain vocal tone.

   • Vegas Pro 17 Tutorial | Audio Editing + Mixing covers how to add effects like pitch correction and distortion to smooth out the sound.

4. Use Reverb or Echo for Tail Effects

   • To give the “Goooooo” a more dramatic or ambient feel, add reverb or echo.

   • The Quick Audio Trick All Pros Use. Vegas Pro 17 ... explains how to use compression and saturation to enhance audio presence, which can complement your stretched clip.

5. Adjust Volume and Fade

   • Use volume envelopes to gradually fade the “Goooooo” tail.

   • How To: Increase/Decrease Volume in Vegas Pro 15 shows how to fine-tune volume levels and apply fades for smoother transitions.

🔧 Bonus Tips

• If the stretched audio sounds robotic, try layering a second copy of the clip with a slight delay and lower pitch.

• Use EQ to reduce any harsh frequencies introduced during stretching.

And if you’re just getting started with audio adjustments, HOW TO: Adjust And Increase Audio Tracks In Vegas Pro is a great primer on managing audio visibility and levels.

Want to go even further with clip manipulation? Sony Vegas Extend Video Clip shows how to extend clips and tweak playback speed, which can also be applied creatively to audio.

Let me know if you want to add a dramatic echo or make it sound like it’s coming from a stadium crowd—I’ve got tricks for that too.
