    Posted by Jeff Anderson on June 5, 2005 at 11:51 pm

    I am having audio level problems when using effects (Noise Reducer, Limiter & Compressor)in Premiere 1.5? During export to tape my audio will occasionally drop 10 to 15db and then return to normal for no reason. The drops happen when going between clips but it doesn’t always happen at the same spot. It seems like the software processing if falling behind. If I stop the export to tape and go back to the timeline I can play the same few clips where I heard the drop in level and it sounds fine. Does anoyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    Hi Jeff,

    Please try rendering before export to tape. The effects you listed are not realtime effects and therefore require rendering before recording to tape. Please let us know if you still encounter the problem after rendering.

    Luke,

    To my knowledge everything in the sequence has been rendered. The work bar is stretched over the entire 30 minutes of my sequence. The titles on the video clips have rendered so I believe the audio effects also were rendered as well.

    Following below are some of the things I have done to try and solve this mystery but have been unsuccesfull.
    1. I have deleted the conformed audio and rerendered.
    2. I have deleted my media, re-batch digitized and rerendered.
    3. I have copied everything on the sequence and pasted it to a new sequence.

    Do you know what else I could try?

    I discovered another way to render audio clips that seem to solve my issue. What I did was to highlight the clips with effects and then under the “Clip” dropdown menu you can chose Audio and then select “Render and Replace.” This rendered the audio and replaced the original. It also put a copy of the audio clip in the bin.

    I first tried using “Render and Replace” with my entire sequence highlighted but I still had level drops with audio. But when I did “Render and Replace” on clips individualy everything worked great. Is this the correct way to render audio clips with effects?
