Premiere Pro CC Audio playback unacceptable

[Pete Pedulla]

Peter,

Thanks so much for explaining. I had no clue about the Mac’s “hidden” library. I did clear that out, and it took a long time for the project to reconstruct itself.

When done, the audio was still dropping out quite a bit.

Then, as Eric Bowen suggested, I cleaned out the cache via the media section of the preferences within Premiere Pro CC.

After that the audio played through without stopping. That was encouraging. But, alas, it was still not right. There were subtle pops and cracks under it all, intermittently. Not very clean audio at all.

Export, however, is totally fine. It’s just playback within Premiere. (Makes mixing pretty tough.)

Thanks for all your help. I can soldier through this project, mixing audio in short bits and pieces, but a long term solution will be necessary. If you have any more thoughts, please let me know.

-Pete

Did you check for the 32bit playback option under preferences and audio device?

I was getting audio pops when I pressed play and when playhead hit any audio edits. I noticed that the music track was labelled “Stereo mapped to 2 Mono”, probably because this was a converted FCP 7 project.

When I re-imported the audio, it came in as Stereo mapped to one stereo track. I over-cut previous audio and pops went away.

Hope this helps someone out there.
