Hi guys, I had someone design a music track for me. The format is MP3. It plays fine through my speakers when playing with Windows Media Player. But when I import it into Premiere, and play it on the timeline, I get these strange popping sounds coming from my speakers. It almost sounds like "dirty" audio. Can't really describe it that well, it's just annoying.

I'm using Premiere with the DVStorm. Anyone have any ideas?

Just a guess since I don't use Premier, but it sounds like it's not handling either the mp3 decoding or the bitrate conversion very well. You might try converting the mp3 to a straight wav and then throwing it on the timeline. Sound Forge would be an easy one to use if you have it, otherwise go get Winamp and the diskwriter plugin and it will write out the mp3 as a wav file. Virtualdub might work as well.

thanks Brian that worked out perfectly.
