Problem with audio on DVDs after importing file from Final Cut Studio 2
This is a post i submitted to another apple support forum today as follow up to a post left yesterday.
Major Problem with audio from Final Cut to DVd Studio Pro
Posted: Apr 14, 2011 7:42 PM Reply EmailI am posting this problem again because no further responses have been received regarding my first post. I purchased an MR-HD100 Firestore device from Focus Enhancements. When I use clips from it alone or with other clips created by digitizing from min DV tape on a sequence or timeline the audio works fine in Final Cut. When I import any type of file and believe me I have been trying all kinds of suggestions and wasting almost a dozen DVDs. Whether it be a Final Cut QT file, going straight to compressor and producing an MPEG-2 file and a dolby audio file .ac3 importing them into DVD SP and making the adjustments that MR. Harbsmeier suggested DIAL NORM at -31dbfs and COMPRESSION MODE to NONE, as well as the suggestion to make an aif file with the audio and importing it into DVD SP as well as the video. I get the same result with every try, the clips made with the firestore are so low you cannot hear them. NOTHING WORKS!!!!. And yes I have tried making a DVD with just digitized footage and yes it turned out fine. I called Apple support today and that gentlemen basically told me I am out of warranty so phone help was not available. However, he made a suggestion of changing sequence presets in Final Cut which has now developed into another problem. I have messed up my settings so bad I don’t know where I am!!! I can’t LOG & CAPTURE in the manner I used to ???? Could someone please advise as to why this problem exists and the correction to resolve it. I do not understand why the audio works fine playing the sequence on the timeline in Final Cut. It plays fine after making a Final Cut QT file. AND it plays fine in simulation mode in DVD Studio Pro. However after you burn a DVD the audio from the firestore clips are not to be heard unless you crank up the speakers or TV to it’s maximum level and you can barely make it out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME Projects are stacking up and was really hoping to go tapeless

Are the source files 2 channel with the same audio on both channels? If so then you may have an out of phase issue … try removing one of those source channels from your edit (and just panning and boosting the remaining channel if appropriate).

I cannot separate the 2 audio tracks, so you mess with one you mess with both. It is like bringing back in a QT movie to use on a timeline. You can separate the video from the 2 audio tracks however, the audio track levels cannot be adjusted individually. I have tried the unlink button and all the buttons on the left of the timeline nothing will allow you to eliminate the one track. When you look at them One track will have the graph or wave of sound look and the other is a solid thin line. So I am thinking I should bump up the audio level which will compensate for the one track bringing the other level down. I hope it woks I am out of options.

You describe the audio tracks behavior on the sequence as though it is a linked stereo pair with one of the tracks essentially empty.
Highlight the stereo pair, press Option-L– that will unlink the stereo pair to 2 individual mono tracks. Delete the bad track and just work with the good one, panning and gaining or whatever is necessary to make it viable.
