  • random volume changes/peaks during playback

    Posted by Lauren Gallagher on July 21, 2009 at 8:19 pm

    I’m working on a project that involves lots of audio, basically building all the audio into a real life scene. There is one constant audio track that is randomly increasing in volume during playback.

    I haven’t commanded it do to this, and I’m totally stumped as to why it keeps happening. has this ever happened to anyone else before?

    Its so fickle, it happens about every other time I play it back.

    ah!

    Any advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    thanks people,

    -Lauren

    I’ve had this happen before after doing alot of audio edits and it’s always been bad render files. The easy solution is either deleting all of your render files for that project OR copying all the media in your sequence, pasting into another, and rendering that. Theoretically, it should solve the audio problem, but a good old Preferences trashing couldn’t hurt either.

    You can also try an Audio Mixdown: Sequence Menu > Render Only > Mixdown.
