I’m having the same problem…never had it before strangely enough. i’m using premiere 6.5 on a windows pc. 2ghz processor with 1.5 gb ram. I do live recordings of concerts and i record the sound separately into samplitude. if i listen to the wav file on its own it’s fine but after i import it into premiere it becomes distorted.
i know that premiere distort audio at above -12 db so i checked the file in samplitude and it is well below -15. not sure what to do next!
i’m going to try to burn a copy onto dvd in the hopes that maybe its just the playback within premiere that’s distorting the sound.
