  • FCP and AJA IO board Audio overload on playback

    Posted by Vladislav on August 18, 2005 at 5:19 pm

    We are editing opera with 24 tracks of audio in FCP 5 with AJA IO board using G5 dual 2.7. We imported the audio files from our audio engineer (sound design files) synced and everything was fine. Problem is in some places it sounds overloaded, all though none of the meters show overload. We thought it might of clipped during recording, but then when we played back our project bypassing AJA board and playing through firewire deck, everything sounded beautiful, with no overloads. My guess there is some kind of setting with AJA board we are missing? or our AJA IO audio processing is bad? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Just a guess…

    Could it be that the AJA is sending a line level signal to your mixer and the input channel is set for microphone input?

    I posted same post on AJA board and looks like there is audio control panel in IO where you select different audio outputs, I’m searching for it now. So if anyone knows, please help.
    Thanks

    It’s a radio button allowing you to choose between +18 & +24 dBu in the control tab of the control panel. I don’t think it’s your aja, it sounds like a monitoring & set up issue to me. Bruce has a good start with the mic/line suggestion.
