Thanks for your help. As it turned out, the tape footage was not so good. Dirty heads or something. I recaptured, and the audio went away, but the video had a slight glitch to it, so I’ve concluded that this was the problem.

Anyways, Thanks again. It took me a while to get back to this issue, so sorry for the delayed response.

Thanks for all the advice. In working with the compressor/limiter more, Im realizing that it definitely behaves very differently than in Adobe Premiere. In Premiere, you can actually give it numerical indication of where you want it to peak. So if your audio shouldn’t rise above -6 db, it wont, no matter how compressed it gets at that point. This is not to be used in lieu of adjusting volume levels, but in addition to. If there is anything that can more accurately put a “stop” to audio above a certain level, Id love to know about it. For now it seems like a guessing/tweeking game, with some less-than-intuitive controls.

Thanks again.

Wow. I had no idea it could be that affordable. Thanks so much for your wisdom on this one.

Thanks. I had a feeling someone was going to say that. I do have the settings to “built in audio” and I think that thats what causes the delay. I think what I really need is to have the monitor and some external speakers being fed from the DV deck to get the sound in sync. I was just hoping for a solution within FCP to get the most use out of my computer speakers.

Thanks

Thanks John,

I knew it was something like that.
