Audio Levels Displayed doesn't match what I hear

PostSat Feb 06, 2021 7:00 am

So in Track 2&3 where I have my voiceover (recording with Blue yeti at my desk), It was working fine until one day it suddenly playback at barely hearable range, even though the audio level displayed during playback are about -15 to -10 Range.

Weird thing is, during playback, while Track2&3 is being weird, Audio from Track 1 (from the camera) is being playedback normally, like chopping food sounds, pouring liquid, etc.

Except, for the clips where I am talking (It was recorded in camera but with a diety mic instead.), which is also in Track 1 but has the same problem as the voiceovers.

I have found that if I place the voiceover from Track 2&3 to Track 1, It behaves normally. Which is, Very confusing. I don't know if anyone can help because this is so confusing, but if you know something please let me know.

It would help if we could actually see the waveforms. Post a pic of the whole Edit page with them showing like this. The Cut page doesn't tell me anything.

Best guess, the fader for tracks 2 & 3 has been turned down.

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
