We ran into this also today.
– Premiere Pro CS6
– Tascam DR-60D
– 96kHz / 24-bit recording
– audio good outside of Premiere
– high pitched, weird ‘watery’ sound on Premiere timeline playback
Solutions:
– audio good in exported file from timeline, which is a relief, but not ideal to hear goofy audio while editing
– audio good after selecting all clips in timeline & choosing “Edit Clip in Adobe Audition.” This generates new files in Premiere & replaces them in the timeline. The new files, in our case, were 96kHz but they were changed to 32-bit float. I suspect batch re-saving them outside of Premiere would also fix the issue, and it’s something about these 96/24 (maybe particular to Tascam?) that CS6 doesn’t like.
