DV Rack Audio Hits...?

Has anyone else experienced intermittent audio hits when recording with DV Rack? We were doing a green screen shoot today, and I was periodically getting audio hits that registered as peaks on the audio timeline while recording. When I listened to the clips back in DV Rack, I heard them and reshot the scenes. I attributed it to wireless hits... BUT when I imported the clips to Premiere Pro later on, the audio hits weren't there... what in the world?
 
DV Rack doesn't modify the data stream from the camera in any way, it just writes it to disk. If it reported audio pops, they must have been there.
 
yeah I agree, but I don't hear them in post... so I guess playback on DV Rack is much more sensitive.
 
Audio pops (live monitoring) may possibly occur during recording as the priority is likely ensure recording to disk without dropped frames/audio, etc, and live video/audio playback would come second (pops during monitoring?). My guess.
 
makes sense, but I was live monitoring off the camera, then played the clips back off DV Rack and heard them then. I dunno... all's well that ends well I guess :)
 
Just was going to post the same question today. Had the same issue in playback on DV Rack so I am hoping, based on this thread, it is a function of playing back 1080 in DV Rack, not the actual recording. Will check with an NLE later this week...
 
I'm wondering if there's an audio playback feature in dv rack that might cause the peaks to give you an audible 'hit' on playback... as a help somehow. I'll check the options menu later on...
 
I'm not aware of anything like that, maybe it is decoding the peak incorrectly and inadvertently causing the pop -- or maybe the audio driver or speaker on that system just doesn't handle it.

The Recorder window will show a red mark where the audio peaked, so it should be easy to spot.
