Hola. Can I get some audio help, por favor?
Hey there,
I’ve been working with a voice guy who’s really into uploading mp3 or .wav files recently instead of our traditional ISDN method. Now, my problem is when I import his tracks they turn out distorted, hot, overmodulated(?). And, this really sucks. He claims they are fine on his end. He’s a pretty competent guy, so I believe him. So, is there a way of lowering my audio import settings in AVID?
I’m running AVID Xpress DV 3.5.4 on Windows XP.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Avid tends to bring in digital audio hot. You should bve able to bring the level down in Avid with no problem. If you are getting mp3’s what are you using to convert? Can you use the conmversion program to bring down the level before importing into Avid?

Hmm. Well, I have been importing the mp3’s directly in AVID. I could use Sound Forge to import. Would you happen to know if that program will allow me to import audio at varible levels? I’ll check into it. Thanks.

I don’t think you can adjust levels on import in any program. You could certainly bring them in the old fashioned way (play them through an ipod-type device, adjusting the levels from the device), but that’s real-time, and real-time is so nineties….
