Export Error - Audio Dropout

davidp

Nick I made a few hr long mix's over the last week. I get to work today and exported them to burn to DVD So, the first mix, it exported fine. It did the full hr and nothing is wrong. I then exported another mix, then copied the .mov over to my mac pro to get ready to burn. While i was doign something else, i started to export the last mix. It finished and i also copied it over to my desktop mac I then go to review them and noticed that the second one, the audio drops out at 8:42 into the mix, the 3rd one, the audio stops at 22.:36 into the mix. Remember, the 1st one was fine, and did the whole hr. I used the default settings on all 3, and nothing different. There have also been no changes in files since the recordings, No songs deleted, and all songs are locations are the same. Just thought i would share this. I am doing another export of one now to see if its any different. I will then restart my mac and try again. I am not sure if its doing it because they were done back to back, or i need to restart between mixed or whatever. I have no clue but wanted to let you know. Thanks

Funny I just did another export on the 2nd mix and the audio dropped out at 8:42 again... Exactly the same spot as before. I am going to shut down my laptop and try again tomorrow.

I suspect that the drop-out is in the recorded audio file. You can check this yourself by listening to the WAV of M4A file that was recorded alongside your MixEmergency recording. The reason for this is usually that there has been an audio drop-out in Scratch Live while you were recording (you might have noticed the USB drop-out indicator display in Scratch Live). If this has occurred, then there is nothing that you can do about it, unless you want to try sneakily edit the audio file.
