Hello all
I have tried a number of online sources, without success, in search of an answer to this problem. Given that the audio side of the project has been recorded and mixed in SawStudio, I hope some of the good folks here may be willing to contribute their thoughts.
The situation is that when I ask Final Cut Pro to create a DVD from an edited audio/video file, I find that the higher- or mid-level audio has been severely compressed - typically by 12 dB or more - compared with the original levels. Combine this with the inevitably audible 'pumping' as the system engages or releases, and you can imagine why the result is unacceptable.
At one point I wondered if these audio effects were present only in cases where the file had to be compressed in order to fit on the DVD - but I've tried rendering just a 1 Gb section of the file to a disc, and the audio is still mangled, so the processing seems to be applied by default. And the currently unsolvable problem is how to remove or defeat the effects.
This is the first video project I've been involved in, so I have no relevant experience to draw on. None of the obvious online sources I've tried even seems to acknowledge that there's an issue. Is there something obvious I'm missing (a 'don't mess with the audio' button, for example!) or are there at least some suggested approaches I could take, in search of an answer?
Perplexed, but hopeful,
John
