Issue |
Significant portions of an audio channel appear to be either partially or completely present across multiple audio channels with no apparent creative on screen motivation. |
How to Prevent:
Review all audio bussing before printing.
Solution:
Likely the audio track/sample was dual bused into two or more separate channels, thus printing the audio across multiple channels. Re-print the audio with the correct busing to avoid the channel bleed. Check the M&E for the same issue, and redeliver M&E as well if necessary.
