Can’t hear some sound

[Hope Holmesby]

Have also noticed that after the half point in the 15 min. time line the same bits that don’t play at the beginning do play, and everything is playing fine after about 6 min thru the time line.

The time line is made up of many bits of audio, all copies of the same basic 5 or so bits of audio.

The video is also play just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks again so much,
Hope

Also, noticed that if the beginning bit of audio is replaced by the audio in the part that is after the 6 min. point, then the audio does play…

hmmmm…

Thanks again…

Two thoughts:

1- Perhaps the audio tracks you imported were not optimal for Final Cut, which likes 48khz aiff. Other rates may play on the timeline, but not always behave properly. Using Quicktime Pro you can make 48khz versions of your audio files with the same filenames, then reimport and relink.

2- When you edit, adjust and filter your audio tracks on a sequence, you’re likely rendering or autorendering for playback. These renders are site-specific, meaning they’re referred to when you play that particular spot on the sequence. So if you move something rendered, you may still be hearing bits of what was there before, or perhaps a weird conglomeration of past and present.
So, delete your previous audio renders with Tools>Render Manager, etc., then force a new total timeline render with Sequence>Render Only>Mixdown.

Good luck…

Dear William,

Oh my gosh…thank you so, so much. Tried the 2nd suggestion, as it looked easiest, and wha-la….it is working…

Really appreciate so much you taking the time to help and write all this out.

What a kind a good soul.

Will check the rates and see what they are.

Again, very grateful for your time and attention.

Sincerely and all the best to you,
Hope
