Robert – your audio cables are the first thing to change out. Whenever you’re getting a bad signal consistently, you need to replace or swap out one piece at a time until you isolate the problem. Cables/cords are probably the most common cause of buzzing and noise interference, so trying different cables (one at a time) and then a different mic, if you have one, should get you closer to finding the problem component.

I’m glad I landed on this page. Proper audio on set has been a constant pain in the rear end for me. It seems that no matter where I’m at, I get contant fuzz and unwanted sound while shooting projects. For example, when shooting in a kitchen I thought it was the hum of the fridge that caused this, however, it’s been happening on several different locations when hardly any interference is in the background. I wonder if it’s possible that I’m just not adjusting the boom mic correctly on my camera or maybe the cord is bad.

Henry – how many different TVs have you tried playing the disc on? I’d try a few different sets and see if you get the same results, then check your audio settings in Ulead. Weird things can happen if your source audio doesn’t match either your project settings, your export settings, or both. Since you checked the original and the clip, whatever is happening is most likely occurring at some point between the editing stage and when it goes to disc – likely during conversion to DVD format. Start there and hopefully you’ll narrow down the problem. Best of luck!

My voice sounds ‘furry’ when I play my edited DVD on TV, yet, when I check the original recoding, and even the clip, added to the video editing program (Ulead Media Studio Pro) it still sounds OK, but once the video has been burned to disk, the sound is muffled. What can I do to sharpen it? There are no ‘tools’ to change the treble or bass, only to to amplify
