    I’m having a very strange problem with final cut pro. I record my voice using final cuts voice over utiluty, with a Rhode MKII mic, through the Edirol UA 20. During recording and in Sound Track Pro my Audio Sounds fantastic, but as soon as i take it into FCP it sounds suppressed, almost like it lacking mids and tops. if i take the clip in FCP and say open with editor (sound track pro) it sounds great again. Can anyone help? could it be that i record at 44.1kHz and Edit in FCp at 48khz? please advise.

  • How are you monitoring the audio from FCP?

    monitoring through creative 2.1 speakers, going through decklink via a UVW 1800 beta deck. same way im monitoring from sound Track pro.

  • Sounds like it could just be a LEVELS issue.

    Volume level has a marked effect how audio “sounds,” quality-wise.

    Make sure as you monitor FCP, that the levels (not the controls, but how loud it sounds in the room) are the same as from the other sources.

    If there is still a difference, post again.

    BTW, under the User Preferences (FCP pull-down menu)
    How many Real-time Audio Mixing tracks are your pre-sets for?
    Is the Audio Playback Quality set to “High?”

    i can only record in 44.1khz with the edirol ua20. unless there is a work around? and all my video footage (including interviews) is in DV Pal 48khz.
