Thanks Dave, sometimes I’m glad it’s mine, sometimes not.

Details much appreciated.

Ben,

Thank you kindly for this. Thank you also for your concern regarding proper and legal use of mp3s. As a musician, (and one who is VERY aware of copyright laws) I find it refreshing to learn that there are people out there who still care about this and try to ensure that the laws are being kept… believe me, sometimes I wonder. I am using an mp3 of my own music.

So, the solution is to create an AIFF version of the file for use in FCP? That will solve the stereo and panning issues I’m having in the timeline?

Thank you again, this is my first post and I’m delighted to have such a quick and helpful response.

Thanks Dave,

Don’t worry about the mp3s. It’s my own music. Being a musician and in the current music industry climate I would never dream of using mp3’s illegally or without authorization. Thank you for your concern though. I assume then, that AIFF’s are the way forward for FCP and my problem will simply be solved by this switch?

Thanks again
