  • AE audio levels won’t drop low enough

    I have a stock music file that I’m dropping down to -48db for a fade out. However, that isn’t low enough. You can still hear the music continue! What?!?

    I’m editing the file in audition and dropping it lower there, but still, what gives? I shouldn’t have to do this.

    Hey Dave,

    Thanks for the response. Ya, I don’t use its audio for much, but a simple fade on a piece of stock music shouldn’t be too much to ask for.

    I tried typing in the value like you suggested, and it actually worked. Was surprised; figured since it didn’t slide any further it wouldn’t let me. Cool to know.

    I actually already fixed it though. I added the stereo mixer effect and brought the “left level” and “right level” down to 0%. Haha, pretty ghetto, but was just trying to do it quickly. I was going to edit it in audition but I actually dropped it in twice so it would have effected both layers. Didn’t want to export it as a whole and blah de blah de blah.

    PS You’ve helped me tons in the past with your countless responses to others queries 🙂 Thanks!
