popping & distortion with my audio in Final cut but not in Quick Time…
When I’m exporting and playing back (inside FCP) my video out of Final Cut I’m noticing some popping and distortion with my audio. Now, when I playback the audio in quick time I’m not noticing any extra noise. I checked my sequence settings in quicktime and all seem to match up with the audio file settings. I can’t seem to figure it out…anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your time and help!

try converting your mp3 to aif or wave. that might be the issue

[Dave LaRonde] “I also have to ask why the sample rate is set to 44.1 kHz.”
If the OP is using mp3s as source media in a video editing application, it may be attributable to thinking the audio sampling standard is the CD format of 44.1. Its pretty common for musicians and non-film-oriented sound mixers to carry this (erroneous) assumption. Also (erroneously) standard to submit digital audio files at “0” (full blast) instead of dynamically positioned for FCP’s internal reference at -12 or broadcast -20, which makes conforming to broadcast legal headroom, um, interesting. Maybe if the FCC were to fine a few more of them…

Thank you! That did the trick in regards to playback inside of FCP. However I’m still noticing when I export it the audio is really fuzzy… any ideas?

“it may be attributable to thinking…”
no thinking in it, it’s a standard music mp3 at 44.1k
FCPX can deal with this and other formats, i believe.

Never-mind, I realized I wasn’t exporting at the correct sample size. Once I changed this all sounded fine on the final export. Thank you all for all of your time and suggestions!
