First I can see (from what you have said) that you are working way too hard, you would be better off by doing your audio editing in Audition … P Pro is a great program for video but Adobe purchased Audition (formally Cool Edit Pro) for a reason … What do you record your audio on? If you would like I would be more than happy to see if I can help you out with a problem clip, once I hear what you are trying to accomplish I may better understand and get you headed in a direction that will cut your time and give you just awesome sounding audio … If you are so inclined E-mail me a minute or so of raw audio in an MP 3 format, to loganonestudio@aol.com ………….

The normalize feature is good but you may think about using the hard limit feature instead … Hard limiting will help with dynamics, limit your peaks, and bring out the stuff that gets lost below 15 or 20db … I personally like to hard limit things to -3db for video … The industry standard used to be -6db for audio, but now all audio seems to be hard limited to as hot as they can get it which is right at -.1db … Hope this helps ……….

Boon,
PCM WAVE FILE is always the best unless you are wanting to E-mail a wave file, then you should save a copy as an MP3 …Audio for video you should use a sample rate of 48000, all other audio use a sample rate of 44100 ………….. WILLIE

Import the video file from the pull down menu in audition instead of just the audio file from the video clip, then you can remix the edited audio back into the video right from audition by right clicking on the video track … You will have to replace the video file that you have in premier with the edited one but it eliminates a lot of steps by doing it this way instead of just importing the audio track from the video track into audition … This is why I try to edit all of my audio tracks prior to building the movie ………… WILLIE

Brian,
When I tweak an audio track I import the audio and the video … Trying to match waves in premier has problems because you can only work within the guidlines of one frame so if you are off a half frame you can’t match it up … Once you have edited the wave file and mixed it back to the video clip save the audio as a session so if you decide you need to do anymore edits all you have to do is bring the audio clip into the edit side, make your change and it will update your file that is in premier without having to remove and import back into premier, it don’t get much easier than that … WILLIE

I think your ship has sailed on this one, if you do resolve it please post …….. WILLIE

Chad,
There are better ways to go than Mackie … Mackie is known for their live boards and their sound is geared towards grung … You might consider going with a Tascom 8 track, this is what I use for doing shoots where I only need 2 recordables in’s … It’s nice because you have a USB out to make it an easy transfer to your computer for edit … When you get ready contact me and we will get you travelin down a productive road … My E-mail address is loganonestudio@aol.com …… WILLIE

I think for the price this is OK … M-audio is middle of the road when it comes to equipment but for what you are wanting to do you are probably good to go … I prefer a 57 over a 58, I know they say they are the same with the exception of the case config, but to my ears I hear a difference … The only thing more I might add is a rule of thumb that I use when purchasing equipment … I make it a practice to purchase equipment that is more than I need … The unit you are looking at has only one XLR input, to my way of thinking I would say that this is a liability … If you are absolutely sure that you will never need anything more, then go for it, if not maybe look into a different unit … Hope this helps ……….

You may be able to make a difference by using the hard limit feature, but in cases like this you may have to take the time and adjust volumes one at a time … If you would like me to listen and see if I can come up with the best way you can E-mail me a 2 or 3 min clip at loganonestudio@aol.com …
