Audio Twilight Zone
Occasionally, when playing back a digitized source track that originated on CD, the IN point for that segment seems to get corrupted.
This has happened multiple times with multiple files in multiple projects.
Typically, the source files come from iTunes, are burned onto a CD, then copied onto the same drives as my other media.
After having played back correctly a thousand times in my segment during editing, a piece of music from one of these files will begin playing from a different spot.
The timecode appears correct, and if I reveal the clip in the Viewer, it plays back fine.
If I try to overwrite the segment using that clip in the Viewer, the problem remains.
If I go back to an earlier cut where the piece played correctly– provided I remembered to duplicate — copy the exact same segment, and then paste it into my latest cut, everything’s peachy.
Anybody else have this issue?

Try an audio mixdown: Sequence Menu>Render Only>Audio Mixdown. Be aware that using anything downloaded from iTunes that has copyright protection can lead to serious liability. I’ve seen it happen.

Thanks for responding, but I’m not sure how a mixdown will solve my problem — especially if the underlying audio is playing from the wrong spot.
Regarding the rights issue, these are all projects where the elements are licensed.
Thanks again.

Try the mixdown. It’s fixed exactly the same problem you’re having for me. If that doesn’t work, try trashing the audio renders and re-rendering. While I’ve never had to do that, I’ve read posts where that’s worked.

I’ll try the mix down — but I’d prefer if my sequence would playback the same way every time without resorting to workarounds.
