R3D Premiere Import Audio "tick" issue

In on of our latest projects, we noticed a strange kind of "tick" in our audio. We record this with an "A-Box" to our RED Dragons. At first we thought that on of our mics or cables were faulty. After testing all possible setups yesterday (five cables, three different mics, two REDs, different firmwares: you name it), I've tried listening to the sound in the R3D-file in REDCINE. Strangest thing: the tick was missing. When exporting to a PRORES-file and importing this in Premiere, the tick was still missing. Importing the same R3D-file, directly to Premiere and the tick was back.

I've supplied to audio exports, which have the tick at the word: "niet". One from the R3D-file imported to Premiere and one from the REDCINE-import.

 

Does anyone have any idea what this can be? It's relatively easy to remove, but it happens very frequently. So it's still a lot of, unnecessary, work.

    I'm experiencing similar issues with my Apollo Twin. Not always, but sometimes.

    When doing an export from PPro (direct or through Media Encoder), is the tick still audible? If not, this indicates that your audio driver/hardware is due for an update.

    Yes, it's still audible. Both mp3's are exports, so it's audible. The thing is: you can see the sound in the waveform. So it's a digital thing.

    The difference between the two Mp3's is that the one without the tick (REDCINE import) is only one channel, whereas the Premiere Import is two channels (mono). On my system I can't hear an audible tick, although there seems to be something visually happening at "Niet".
