audio slipping problems??

Hi,

So for some reason I've been having problems with audio slipping. I'll lay down a music track, do a few volume keyframes, and then move on to doing something else... I come back a minute or two later and for some reason my audio will have slipped forward a few seconds. The waveform view still looks exactly the same and the clip is in the same place, but it starts playing a few seconds further into the song. I could be wrong but it seems to happen most often when I drag an audio track out a bit longer and have to render the lengthened part. Anyone have any idea what's going on? It's really driving me nuts.

One other question... how can you control the gain on audio tracks?

Any help is appreciated, THANKS!!!

A sound clip should not move in the Sequence due to keyframes or changing an out point. Are you sure you're draging the out point and not the whole clip?

If you can set volume keyframes, you are setting gain. They're pretty interchangable terms.

Yeah, I'm not dragging the whole clip. To have the effect that I'm getting dragging it wouldn't do anything anyways, I would have to be accidentally slipping it somehow.

Are you sure about the volume/gain thing? I recently switched over from Adobe Premiere. In Premiere you were able to keyframe volume up to a set level... 12 or 18 db or something, i can't remember exactly... and then you adjust the "gain" far higher. It would have the same effect, but you were able to boost it up a lot more. If you went to high you would get distortion, that seemed to be the only difference. It seems strange that in final cut i could only boost an audio clip by 12 db. That's just not much.
