Audio question.
Just wondering if anyone could help me out with something. I did a shoot recently with someones dodgy microphone, the audio seemed to have a lot of hiss through the headphones, so I lowered the levels.
In post I have had to add 2 more volumes at 6.02dB, de noiser and I’ve altered the pitch to make the actors voice sound deeper.
The project involved a lot of After Effects work, it’s all bluescreen. When I import the rendered footage into the premiere timeline, it seems to have trouble catching up, ie the audio starts off muffled then I can hear the desired effect. I thought this would be ok when rendered as avi or mpeg, but I’ve tried both, it is still happening.
This will teach me to pay closer attention when filming.
The other question I have is I want a deep rumbling sound in one part of the scene. I added some bass and turned the boost way up to get the effect I was after. I have checked the levels and it goes way into the red, but it sounds just right through the headphones. However, when I render the scene and play it in windows media player, it really crackles. Would it do this on a TV ? Is there another method to get the deep rumbling effect without going over the levels. The sound is something like the space ship in the beggining of Alien I’m after.
Cheers,
Steven.

You probably rendered uncompressed video/audio from AE. Most systems cannot play both smoothly for a preview…just too much throughput.
Zero DB is the loudest sound without awful distortion in the final output, even worse on TV. Keep your master output below zero.

Thanks Mike, lowering the master level, and turning up the dialogue level seems to have helped.
