  audio problem

  Posted by George Bonilla on October 31, 2006 at 6:08 pm

  I am about to pull my hair out. I am doing the final burn of our movie. I suddenly am havine problems with this one set of lines. I took them from a CD and they have played fine ever since. now they are so low you can barly hear them everyone else’s line all around are fine. it is just this one set. They used to work fine. I even re-imported them from the original disk. They sound fine on the computer then on DVD they drop to almost nothing. I have tried to convert the file (it is at 44 sample rate). It is a wave file. I have tried to re-render. I have re-laid in the entire set of lines in case it was a corrupt render file. They always play great on the computer but fade to almost nothing on DVD. Every other sound in the movie is fine! Help please!

  Did you import the clip(s) from the CD in STEREO?
  It sounds like it might be an “out-of-phase situation.
  If the audio in question is on TWO tracks, delete one of those channels, pan the remaining track to “Center” and increase its level by 3 to 9 dB or so to compensate.

  Then Mixdown the audio for playback.

  First, SELECT ALL of your audio tracks (highlight them) on the timeline, then:

  Sequence Menu > Render Only > Mixdown.

  You should see a dialog box telling you its rendering.

  Please post back with your results.

  THANK YOU! So far so good! I did as you said and then burned that scene onto disk. Had a quick scare when no sound came out! Then I realized I had turned the TV down for a call. The sound was FINE! The lines were there! Anyway, I am burning the entire project now. If this works you are a prince among men (or women)! I have spent days trying to figure this out!! Can you tell me what cause it so I can try to avoid it or will the answer be way to technicle? Thanks again! Happy Halloween!

  If this worked for you, I’m going to guess that the audio CD was recorded “out-of-phase” (a BIG “No-No”) and that YOU actually did nothing wrong with your original CD import routine.

  Regardless, I hope the “fix” did the “trick” (for your “treat” on this day).

  Please post back with your final results.
