Adobe Media Encoder – Premiere Pro CS5
I am working in Adobe Creative Suite CS5. I work in small market Evansville, Indiana, producing retail spots.
The local stations take spots digitally in MPEG 2 format. All of the stations take my files fine except one. Every time they get my spot, the audio is garbled, almost like it’s too hot. I’ve been to the station, and they took an old DG Systems card to use in their FTP setup. I send the same file to them as I do everyone else in the market, and again, this station is the only one that is having issues.
I’ve tried about every possiblity I can think of, but I did notice in my Media Encoder settings there is a box for “Psychoacoustic Model.” Can anyone tell me what this is? It’s under Advanced Settings on the Audio Tab. I cannot find a description in any the help menu online.
Much appreciated.

Before we get too deep into technical nuance…
What’s different about this one station’s file delivery specification? Have you compared them? (I need to go back and look at DG Fast Channel spec and see if they’re unusually conservative on audio level.)
They may be summing the audio tracks somehow…while the other stations perhaps don’t? (Do you deliver pre-mixed audio, tracks 1 and 2?, Stereo?)
I have five outlets I deliver spots to in my little market, and I have five varying delivery specs from 480i premixed audio to 720p stereo to 1080i…all over the place. It sounds like you’re relatively lucky if you hit everybody with one filetype and you only have one audio problem.
This sounds like a relatively obvious sort of issue that shouldn’t require an exotic approach.

Don’t know that crazy acoustic issue… I have one station that is all analog for delivery even though I send them DVD… They just need my audio set to -20dbf… That old analog stuff really amplifies the audio! I bet you are just peaking the crap outa their system…perhaps they have set too hot….Everyone one else can take -12 up to -3 with no issues.
