    Audio Hiccups on Dissolves - But only when exported or mixed down

    I'm running into a problem that I can't figure out.

    I've got a series of music dissolves through a 35 minute timeline.  It plays through and sounds perfect.  However, when I export an AIFF file or try to do an audio mixdown, the areas where the audio is supposed to dissolves seem to skip.  Almost like what would happen if the Avid was struggling to play a real-time un-rendered effect and failed.

    But these are all rendered dissolves.  They play back fine. I tried un-rendering and re-rendering, but nothing changed.

    How can I get my audio out of here?  I need to get some DVDs burned, and my audio is currently worthless because of this.


    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    I'm using the normalize Audio Suite effect on a few tracks in the timeline... if that matters.

    Are the export settings matching the timeline?  44.1 vs 48, 16 bit, etc, etc

    Though annoying, an audio mixdown would also likely fix the issue.

    Yeah, the export and timeline were both at 48K

    The audio did come from a CD so, I don't know... I just now tried switching to 44.1 and exporting at 44.1 to see if that does anything.

     

    I had already tried the mixdown and the error (hiccups) occur in the mixdown.. .in the avid timeline.

     

    Edit:  Hmm... Now I've got a clean .aiff.  Somehow going to 44.1 did it.  I thought that when I brought the CDs in they converted to 48k anyway.  Not sure what happened... but I got some DVDs to burn.

    Thanks for the pointer though Todd!  That helped.
