Audio levels a little different post-render

[EdwardMartinIII]

I have a project in Premiere 6.5. The video is a long strip of Quicktimes. They behave.

The audio consists of a 16-track mix of different voice recordings, sound effects, and music files. All the files are 16-b stereo WAV files.

When I listen to the mix in Premiere (by just hitting the spacebar), it sounds just fine. Well, it does after I monkey with the levels a bit. Then, I export the MPEG and burn the DVD and the sound levels are all a little wonky. The music overruns the dialogue, some sound effects aren't evident, others are really obnoxiously loud. Really quite different than my working mix.

Does anyone else experience this or know anything about it?

My current method is to listen to the DVD via headphones from one machine while correcting the audio on the Production machine. This, of course, seems awkward.

Cheers,


Edward

This is still a bother. Running the DVD on one computer while editing on another has been the only way of overcoming this. Still, there's a difference between that and running it on the TV. Maybe I'm going to have to get a separate console DVD player for my workshop. Oooooh, that's annoying.

Still curious,


Edward
