This must have been raised before but the 'search' facility is down at the mo. I add undistorted music to my Edius 6 timeline and it then sounds pretty dire, with obvious distortion. The levels meter shows all's fine, and DVDs and BD made using print to disc are fine - it's just the timeline that distorts things. Annoying, but not the end of the world.

Tom, are you importing MP3 or 44k sound files? They are known to be problematic with Edius. 48khz sound files are no problem. I use a program called dbpoweramp to convert before I import into my NLE. You might want to see if you get the same distortion using 48khz music files.

Now there's a thought - thanks Mark. I'll go and check. My Audacity will convert MP3s to wav.

Yes, Edius does weird thing with some mp3's, I also always convert every external mp3 sound or music file into wav and that works without a problem.
