Audio issues when scrubbing

PostThu Nov 12, 2020 9:21 am

Loving the new look and features of Resolve 17, but I'm finding that when I scrub through the timeline to make fine edits (jumping frame-by-frame with the arrow keys), the audio is playing from a fair few frames ahead or behind the play head. It's ahead if scrubbing forward and behind if scrubbing backwards.

So far I've only edited one project so I can't yet say if this is a localised project issue or more broadly throughout my installation. Audio is fine during playback and syncs perfectly with the video track. It's only when scrubbing that I have problems.

It might be worth mentioning that this began to occur after I applied some Fairlight adjustments to the vocal track (EQ, compression, multiband compression, de-esser and de-noiser)

Can you detail your hardware and provide a drp that shows the issue?

In version 16 the noise reduction plug-in screws up the jogging audio.

System details:

Videos are stored on a separate SSD with the application installed on operating system drive (also SSD)

Not sure what DRP is. Can you tell me more?

I'll try disabling that and see what happens - thanks!

Disabling noise reduction made no difference to the issue

In 16, if say you have two tracks with noise reduction on one the two tracks job out of sync, the track with the noise reduction lagging.

Oh just saw this post too! This is still happening for me as well, it's making fine edits really difficult with the audio behaving like this

I think you have to actually remove the noise reduction plug-in, not just disable it to remove the jog delay.

Yep. But it is really buggy as sometimes the delay won't happen, sometimes it will only happen while scrubbing, and sometimes it will happen during normal playback (and will also export with whatever bug you're hearing).

Closing and reopening the project can change which bug decides to appear

It is the same issue like I have in DVR 17:
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=136144

I apply no effect. Audio is bounced at DaVinci to wav.
DVR 16 works fine with the same material.
