Any fixes for Premiere’s lag when dealing with audio effects?
Hi all,
I have noticed that Premiere’s timeline playback seems to slow down a lot depending on how many audio tracks I have on the timeline with filters or speed changes. The timeline won’t start playing for a few seconds after I hit play, and scrubbing lags extremely too. When I don’t have a lot of audio tracks or heavily filtered audio, it works fine.
I tried changing the audio latency to both higher and lower but it did not seem to make a difference. I’m already editing with proxies, at low playback resolution, etc. I’ve gone on many forums and made countless changes to settings and drives to make Premiere faster. And it’s worked to some extent. But when I have these audio elements, it still lags. I’ve also upgraded my RAM, as I figured that would deal with real-time audio playback.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this, beyond just using render and replace on a clip? I don’t like to use effects on tracks rather than clips and I’m too late in this large, complex project to navigate all the effects over to tracks now. I’m on Windows with a good CUDA-enabled GPU, an i7 processor and 32 gb of RAM.
Any suggestions are helpful, thank you.

This may or may not apply in your situation.
If my audio clips are MP3’s, I routinely convert to WAV files in Audition prior to edit and use only WAV files in the edit.
System:
Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
Win 7 64-bit
32GB RAM
Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
256GB SSD system drive
4 internal media drives RAID 5
Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF. -
Thanks Jon, I appreciate the reply! Generally I avoid using mp3s so that’s not the main issue, but it’s good to be reminded as I think I slipped a few in to some sequences as temp tracks that are slowing things down even further.
