Audio glitch on import
Hi,
I’m having a consistent problem with audio when I capture it. I’m using a small sony camera as a deck to import DV footage to FCP Studio 2. I have tried multiple setups for different projects, and the issue persists, even with NTSC Firewire Basic easy setup.
While the video comes in fine, the audio track has these digital noises or glitches all over it, kind of like a digital skip or scratch. I try to re-import the same clip, and there are more of them in different places.
The issue isn’t on my tape, it happens across drives, it happens when I try to use different cameras for decks, I just bought a new 4-pin to 8-pin firewire cable, and I ran disk utilities on my drive which says everything is running fine.
Any ideas or help would be great as I edit for a living and this is holding me up from delivering to clients. I really have no idea how to solve it.

It is either one of two things. The tape or the deck.
Are you capturing from the same camera the tape was shot in? If not, your problem is the alignment of the deck you are capturing from. If this is the same camera, then the problem is the tape.

Thanks for the reply.
It actually was neither the camera or tape. I used the same camera to import as to tape; I used several cameras, actually, to tape and then as the deck. So it isn’t the camera. It wasn’t the tapes either as I used several of them.
However, I ran Disk Utilities on my Permissions, and that cleaned it up tremendously. I did a repair on my disk at first, but that didn’t do it – it was repairing the Permissions that seemed to help.
Hopefully it’ll stick and it’s not just a temporary fix! 🙂
