  MONO audio signals handled differently by FCP and SP…. 6db difference

  Posted by Benjamin Rowland on July 11, 2008 at 1:27 pm

  Anyone noticed that FCP and Soundtrack Pro handle mono audio signals differently?

  FCP: A mono signal that peaks at 0db is sent to the Left and Right channels resulting in left and right channels that peak at -6db.

  Soundtrack Pro: A mono signal that peaks at 0db is sent to the Left and Right channels resulting in left and right channels that peak at 0db.

  Is there a way to fix this? Currently, we’re using FCP and SP to edit a national cable show, and this workflow issue can be problematic.

  This issue occurs on G5 and Intel towers. Preferences on both programs have been trashed. Audio levels have been verified on Dorrough meters.

  Thanks,
