iMovie 3.03 audio IMPORT dropouts

[Puget Sound Cinema Society]

Mmmm...Art Ensemble of Chicago, my favorite jazz group. What was it, 
"Folkus"?

Sounds like there is too long a release time after compression. Or you 
have a threshold filter on that doesn't release fast enough. Try 
turning off "Filter Audio from Camera" in Preferences. It might help. 
Or it might not. Of course, since it also occurs with a CD...I'd say 
maybe you've some sound settings awry. Did you turn on some "Expert 
Settings" like a mu-law compressor or something? I can't remember too 
much about iMovie, since I seldom use it, but I remember it has 
preferences you can only get to by choosing "import" or "export". Set 
those back to default, and see what happens.

Or wait for Erica's much clearer response.
