Dramatic audio level reduction
The resulting AC-3 is maybe a third of the audio level of the original AIFF and only playing out of the left speaker. And yes I dragged and dropped the file twice and assigned the left and right channels--which both contain audio. I have repeated the process with a wav as well with the same results. (I've checked the Info in the Monitor to confirm the -31 setting)
I am listening to the AC-3 in the A.Pack Monitor and comparing it with the AIFF in quicktime.
Any ideas about what is killing my audio level and eliminating my right channel? Is listening to the AC-3 in the Monitor and the AIFF in QT like camparing apples and oranges? Is there a more accurate way to compare levels? Is there an app I can import both into and meter the levels?
Thanks,
Thomas
