Re: [Avid-L2] Audio keyframing/dissolving odd behavior

dissolve, there is a very noticeable drop in volume during the
dissolve (i.e. not the expected behavior...it's almost as if the music
is fading out) unless I render the dissolve, at which point everything
sounds fine.

I offer:

There seems to be a bug I've noticed which may be related to the
above. If you change the audio level of a clip using keyframes, those
keyframe levels won't apply across dissolves. IOW, when a keyframed
clip ends at a dissolve, the audio level will jump back to its non-
keyframed level during the dissolve. Rendering doesn't seem to help.
What have I been doing to avoid this issue? I've been avoiding
keyframing for audio levels. I use 'Add Edit' to split a clip at the
level change point, change the level on the part I wish to change, and
do a dissolve at the 'Add Edit' point.
