Audio volume becoming extremely low on rendered file

DVMental wrote on 7/5/2002, 10:09 AM
I have a DV avi file that I captured using premiere. I used the clip as part of a Vegas Video project but whenever I try rendering using that clip, the audio of the rendered file is extremely low. I tried using the DivX codec for the video encoding, and either the MP3 or PCM for audio encoding.

Any suggestions?

Additional Info:
The format of the audio from the original clip is 48,000 Hz, 16-bit, Stereo, Uncompressed.

Does it LOOK low in the track? (I.e. is the waveform small, or does it take up most of the track window?) If so, right click it and select Switches/Normalize. If the track volume is not abnormally low, then your busses are probably set too low, bring'em up.

I assume your playback system plays other files at a higher volume, so it's not your playback system (this is like asking "is the TV plugged in?").

On the rendered file, the audio is visibly low (meaning the peaks aren't high at all in the waveform window). When I play the original in any program, even in Vegas - it plays at the right volume- it's only when I render the file. I tried rendering it in Premiere and it came out fine (high volume). I tried removing all effects from the audio track (and events), it still comes out very low. I'm wondering if somehow it is getting double-compressed during rendering.
The original audio seems to be in PCM, uncompressed format.
By the way, it happens whether or not I click Normalize. Thanx for any more suggestions.
