    CC 2014 - Audio quality reduced from original video

    DV2FOX Community Member

      I used to use Adobe Premiere Pro CC WITHOUT THE 2014 version FYI

       

      Let me explain:

       

      -Back then i've been using Adobe Premire Pro CC peacefully using the GPU Mercury Playback thing activated. No problems AT ALL.

       

      -After recording a TV program and getting the AVI File when finished recording, i tested that RAW file to hear it's audio and see the vid with Windows Media Player. Audio quality was perfect,clear and high as it should.

       

      -Whenever i placed that AVI file into Premiere Pro CC (again, NO 2014 version), the audio and video played as it did in WMP.And when rendered/exported to a new file after some edits, it still kept the quality and all that stuff!

       

      .....NOW, with Adobe Premiere CC 2014, there's a BIG PROBLEM....Whenever i place THAT SAME RAW FILE in CC 2014....The video played nicely,yeah...framerate stable etc...The problem is...that the Vid's AUDIO quality has been REDUCED and it's NOT CLEAR ANYMORE,and it happens to ALL THE PREVIOUS AVI FILES I HAVE!!!

       

      What have adobe done?...Don't break what's working correctly!!!...Now i can't go back to Adobe Premiere CC WITHOUT THE 2014 version because of the new version STAYING FOREVER!

       

      Please,HELP ME!!!. I can do a video of what i'm saying so you guys understand the situation.

          Are your audio hardware settings the same between CC7 and CC8 (2014). Does the clip sound the same in the source monitor and from the timeline? Could you be a bit more descriptive about how the quality has changed. What are your computer and sound card specifications?

            To be honest,i have not a single clue about it...Never touched the Audio and Audio Hardware Settings. I tried searching online on google  for a solution and i think found a solution (This one had a similar? problem as mine) . I had to change an option in Settings->Audio Hardware-> ASIO Settings then something above 512 of the Buffer, aka 1024, though i've touched "default" and it changed to 2048. The problem disappeard.

             

            But...i think i know why it might've been the problem after all..i think... What i did to begin with  was to put a "Bandicam" (It wasn't a TV show in the end,SORRY!) recording (in it's default settings) into CC 2014 and it's audio (in CC 2014) has been like muted ,though whenever you skip the timeline forward,you can hear "a huge distortion" that doesn't matches the recording's audio AT ALL (D**n,i played a music in the background while recording and,once finished recording i've played the vid i've made and the audio was there,perfect quality)... After that i wanted to "Mute the Bandicam's audio track" and put the song that should've played over it.. Then whenever i've played the vid to see how it looked like,that song i've placed over the "broken audio" GOT AFFECTED TOO... Perhaps it was just THE BANDICAM VIDEO'S AUDIO FAULT!!

             

            (Though somehow i got lucky to ,from a random chance, to have that audio i've inserted manually to play and also render/export in it's correct quality...Weird!)

             

            ...Then i tought "Did Adobe screwed up?...". I've closed CC2014 100%,restarted the PC,opened CC 2014 , grabbed a DIFFERENT Video file ,this time from a TV Recording (this time,YES,TV,sorry)  and whenever i click the Play button in the preview...The audio played exactly as the original video did...I even tried placing that same song over it to see if it did distorted and didn't

             

            ...Perhaps i am doing something wrong now...or are some Adobe settings being changed like crazy without my aknowledge (or something) ?

             

            My PC is:

             

            Intel i5 2500K

            660GTX Ti OC 2GB (GIGABYTE/Nvidia)

            8GB DDR3 1333Mhz

            Windows 7 64bits Home Premium

            250GB SSD

            1TB HDD

             

            If there's something i should try out to see if the problem could be vanished FOREVER please let me know X_X;
