  • low audio levels when exporting

    Posted by Craig C smith on May 20, 2008 at 1:20 am

    I have a question about Audio levels on export. After I export a file it appears when I play back that audio file the audio levels have drop pretty low.I am exporting out to media encoder using 5.1 dolby dig.

    On a windows Vista machine. Creativelabs Xfi soundcard. Adobe CS3.

    I do not understand why the audio sound is sounding great and after export the levels are low. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Are you playing back DVD-video files in Windows Media Player? I think that is a known “issue” — I’d call it a bug — in Media Player. Compare a Hollywood DVD, you’ll find the same low output in Media Player.
    That’s been my experience, anyway.

    When I create a DVD in Encore and play it on any stand alone system the levels are still low.

    Ah – that’s different.
    Can’t help much other than to suggest checking for unintended attenuation, like having the Master fader pulled down in the audio mixer panel in Premiere.
    You might also want to take a look at the exported WAV file in Premiere or Soundbooth to check the levels.
