Unexplained audio level changes
I keep running into a very strange problem. After I’ve put a sequence together, and done an audio mix (keyframing/rubberbanding audio tracks in FCP), certain pieces of music will be too loud during playback, even though I have them turned down low, or even all the way down. If I stop the playback and start it again from the same spot, or even back it up a few seconds, it plays back correctly.
It seems to do this only with music tracks. I’ve tried trashing render files, replacing the original files, and I repair my permissions and trash prefs on a regular basis.
Any suggestions?

If you are going to post the same question to multiple FCP forums, please be sure to go back and close all of your open threads by posting your successful solution.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

can’t blame the guy for covering some extra bases to help solve his problem. I’ve been in the same situation where posting in more than one forum may get better results. Maybe you should cut him some slack B.

I’m trying to figure a similar problem. The levels all sound good during playback, but when I’m printing to tape, the lower levels of music I rubberbanded for a lead in blast out over the vo on the upper tracks. It’s the only place this happens on a 68 min project and it has happened both times at the location when I’ve printed the project and never happens when working my timeline.
Can anyone help?

I’ve found a work-around for my problem, maybe it may work for yours as well. I’ve clicked the stereo pair designation to change the audio to two mono tracks and now I don’t have the problem I wrote about earlier. I’d like to hear if it helps anyone.
