Avid audio level problem
Hi,
I have an Avid Meridien on Mac OSX 2.6 and Avid 12.0.5. Last week, I digitized some footage from DigiBeta, SDI in and analog audio in at 48khz. It sounded great on playback through the Avid. Then, today, I had to digitize more of the same ftg. Now, the playback audio is at least 25dB lower than the older audio I put in. Upon digitizing, the levels looked fine, between -20dB and -8dB on the meters, but on playback, the levels are really low, like -60dB on the Avid audio tool. The old audio continues to sound great and I brought in audio from CD today, that also sounds fine. What could have happened? Any thoughts? -

Why not capture over AES/EBU? It should give you a 1:1 of quality and level in sound, without any extra D-A and A-D conversions.
Other than that, you might want to check the audio output levels on the DVW. -
I will attempt to go AES in. The output levels on the DVW500 are fine, I think there must be some corruption in the Avid. I will try the old standby: open a new project and import audio. If it is OK, I’ll just re-digitize in a new folder. Thanks, I’ll keep you informed.
