High Pitched Whine in CS6 Imported Audio
I have googled this, but can’t find an answer anywhere…perhaps I have not worded the question properly.
Basically, I shot 13 Episodes of a Television series, my field audio guy recorded all the audio at 96K, 24BIT WAV.
Everything sounds fine the entire production.
Until I get back to the editing bay and all the shotgun audio (none of the lapel audio) has this weird pitch in the 20k range. I don’t hear the audio at all when playing it through Finder. Only once its imported within Premiere.
It was recorded on a TASCAM DR680.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have a certain shotgun mic that pretty consistently picks up an 8k whine from one of my ikan floor lights. I don’t hear it in the headphones but it shows up in post. Easily eliminated with a notch filter in audition so I don’t sweat it.
I’ve checked the clips in FCPX as well and it shows up there too so, for me anyway, it’s not the editor introducing the noise.
Check your clips in another editor or audio editor if you can and try a notch filter on it since it’s a pretty well defined frequency.

We ran into this also today.
– Premiere Pro CS6
– Tascam DR-60D
– 96kHz / 24-bit recording
– audio good outside of Premiere
– high pitched, weird ‘watery’ sound on Premiere timeline playbackSolutions:
– audio good in exported file from timeline, which is a relief, but not ideal to hear goofy audio while editing
– audio good after selecting all clips in timeline & choosing “Edit Clip in Adobe Audition.” This generates new files in Premiere & replaces them in the timeline. The new files, in our case, were 96kHz but they were changed to 32-bit float. I suspect batch re-saving them outside of Premiere would also fix the issue, and it’s something about these 96/24 (maybe particular to Tascam?) that CS6 doesn’t like. -
I had the exact same problem. I solved it by selecting the clip in the timeline then going to the Clip menu and choosing Audio Options>Render and Replace.

Sean,
That fixed it for me. I was having the same problem with Zoom H4n files at 96 & 24. The whine would only be in the background while trying to play the files in the timeline.
Rendering and Replacing fixed the issue! Thanks!

Hey Sean,
Also found myself with the same problem today and your method fixed it perfectly. Thanks.

Glad to help. Aloha,

So strange that this happened me today and when I’ve been using my ZOOM H4N and importing files the same way for the past 4 years and never had the problem before! Thank you!

This too worked for me on CC2017. Weird.
