Thank you all for responding.
I have a brand new mac pro, this is not a preference issue, all those are set correctly inPremiere the AJA cards works fine with other software. Audio will work fine 75% of the times in Premiere Pro CC when I press play, the rest 25% it will not play at all or it will crackle or just skip frames.
We never had this issue with FCP 7 with the same hardware so that leads me to believe it’s not a hardware problem. My next step is to buy an Avid which I will do in the next couple of weeks when we slow down and see if with the same hardware configuration the audio does not fail on me. We also use Autodesk Smoke in the same machine with exactly the same hardware and the audio never has any problems so everything is leading me to reason that Adobe Premiere is having a problem that we just can’t put up with. My session yesterday with a client was embarrassing. I just upgraded all my computers to the top of the line macs, connected via fiber to our SAN storage but the audio issue makes us look like amateurs.
I am so disappointed with Adobe, we also get kicked out of the cloud constantly and need to re-sign in. If it weren’t because there is nothing to replace AE I would ditch the whole cloud thing without a doubt. Their support is also terrible, a guy in India that usually has no clue what you are talking about and points to the re-seller for all questions and issues.
Thanks for all your help.
