Audio not working
Hi all.
I’m working on a new project and the audio is not playing in the source monitor and the timeline.
The media is 1080p 1920×1080 24fps.
Audio Sample Rate 48000
Audio Bit Depth 24I’ve checked the Audio Project settings and the settings for these match.
Oddly enough I can only hear audio when I solo one of the stereo audio tracks in the sequence timeline, and I can’t hear anything in the source monitor.
I’m on PC.Can anyone help?
thanks! -

Phase cancellation. They are in perfect phase and canceling each other out. Pan them both MID.

Thanks for the reply.
I’m new to Avid, can you tell me how I adjust both channels to mid in Avid?
Do I output them in Avid like this and then bring the clips back into my project so I can hear them in the source monitor?
Or is there a setting in Adobe Media Composer I can use?
thanks again! -
Open the AUDIO MIXER….in the TOOLs MENU. And then pan the knobs mid. If you hold down the OPT key and click the knob, it’ll do it automatically.

Both channels are already set to MID though, not sure if that’s normal.
If I pan A1 to L100 and A2 to R100 I can hear both channels again but it’s a little quieter than if I delete A2 and leave A1 at MID.
Does this make sense? -
Yes, That sounds like phasing. Use only one track, mute the other, or rather, dip the audio all the way down. So when you get it to the mixer they can deal with whichever audio track works best.

I wound up just solo’ing one of the audio tracks and exporting the clips with just A1, and now I can hear the audio with the new clips in the source monitor and in the timeline.
It cost me a day of productivity but at least I know what to do when this happens again.
Thanks for the help.
