This is my universal tip for any time people mention "strange" and "Ae" in the same message:  

Delete your prefs, and try again.

>>> strange! any audio that I bring into and render from AE seems to suffer one way or another. That is, it tends to play and render out a little distorted and even the slight hiss becomes almost unbearable - even when I add noise reduction. If I take the same audio source file and play it back on he exact same system(set-up) it plays back just fine. Any one seen this ? Any remedies?
