Audition Audio

Hello

I've encountered this unusual audio situation. From my various media
catalogs (analog and digital) I've performed routine audio adjustments
within Adobe Audition. Mono to Stereo, Normalize, Hiss removal -prior
to finalizing the project within Encore for a finished DVD.

This current project I'm taking BetaSP and Betacam tapes and running
them from my Sony UVW1200 player into the Canopus ADVC 100. From the
Canopus the firewire feeds into the computer for a Capture within Abobe
Premiere.

I'm painting an outline to show the usual routine. Once I edit the
material I export to NTSC DV high quality 4 MB VBR 2pass (mpeg2). After
a little fiddling with Audition to audio track is imported into Encore.

I've sampled almost every tool within Audition to adjust my current
media, the Betacam materials. Let me attempt to explain: In edit view
(mono track) instead of the usual peaks and valleys appearing in the
wave form I have a thick green band (in all appearances it seems to be
filling in the valleys) with tiny spikes appearing very close to the
edges of the band.

Another way of stating this is that the audio (voice) fills the wave
form pushing away those deep valleys and high peaks. In these lectures
if the speaker were to talk normal the audio would be good. However,
any emotional intonation, a sharp chuckle, creates a spike.

It's like a medical graph with normal breathing...highs and lows.
With this material it's more like flat lining. A wide green band with
tiny spikes. Is there a solution to correct this? How can I run a
capture and collect an audio track with valleys and peaks? Would I need
a mixer between the Sony player and the Canopus to correct the signal?
Is there something basic I'm missing? Please let me know you
thoughts.
