Motion 5 clicking sound with audio

Anyone else notice that Motion 5 creates a clicking sound with your audio if you raise the volume, yet isn't redlining in the meter? That's what's happening to me. I have an AIF voiceover and I raised the volume by 3 and even though the audio meter is still in the green, I'm getting clicking sounds in Motion during playback, but also in the movie exported.
Thoughts?
Thank you!
Scot

The project was set to 59.97 fps. I created a new one at 29.97 and clicking went away.

  • Slight clicking sound in audio playback

    Recently I've noticed my Mini making a slight fuzzy clicking sound at the beginning of any audio it plays back -- whether it's a 1-second event song or a 3-minute song. I use external speakers with it, but I tested it with headphones as well and heard the same thing. I'm honestly not sure if it happens with the internal speaker, because it doesn't really play loudly enough for me to pick it up.
    Like I said, this is recent -- I'm sure it hasn't always done this (I've had the computer a little over a month now). Any ideas? It's a slight thing, but pretty bothersome.

    HI SUE,
    Thank you for your suggestion. I went to the site and printed off the instructions. I imported my movie into iMovie again and started over with the process by following the suggestions on the print out. It didn't help. In fact the popping sound is even louder.
    Do you have any more suggestions? Or do you know anyone else in the disscusion site that may be able to help.
    I don't use the disscusion site very often. It ususally takes me a long time to find a disscusion topic that matches my inquiry.
    Would you mind e-mailing me at [email protected] with any response you might have. I check my e-mail several times a day but am not always on the internet.
    Thank you again for your help.

  • Clicking sound with haptics

    Whenever I adjust the haptic force in settings, there is an audible click noise with the haptic.  It even occurs when the sound is muted.  Is this normal?  It seems that mute should be totally silent.

    I get the same thing and was curious so I did some actual testing with real notifications and there is no sound when audio is muted and a notification comes in.

  • Clicking sound with new P5800 Speakers

    I just purchased the P5800 set and took off some cambridge soundworks speakers. The P5800 speakers have this annoying clicking sound. What is odd is that you hear the clicking sound as soon as you turn on the speakers but if you turn the volume level up about 2/3's to full volume the clicking goes away. I hear it when nothing else is playing. What could be causing this? If I can't fix it I will be taking the P5800's back and setting up my other speaker set.
    Can you help?
    Thanks,
    Ken Scott

    I've had this happen with another laptop. It would click away but work fine for a few weeks. After that, the system would often stop responding momentarily but come back to life in a couple of seconds. I started seeing plenty of data corruption in time, threw out the drive and got a new one.
    Yours could behave differently but I'd continue with the time machine backups like there's no tomorrow! Btw, I've had mixed results with the WD blues, both the scorpio and caviar.

  • Weird beeping sound with audio

    I am editing a movie for a class in college. I uploaded my audio which is an mp3 file and it play fine when I play it in the first viewer window, but when I play it in the play back window instead of sound its a weird loud beeping noise. if I take the slider and move it forward or back on the timeline it will play the music faster or slower...but if I push play it still has the sound...what's going on and how can I stop it! ASAP!!!!!

    Hi - Click on the audio clip in the timeline to select it and type Command-R.
    This will render the audio to match the sequence setting.
    If you move or edit the audio track, you might have to render it again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Power ON/OFF computer - click sound with red light?

    Greetings,
    when I power ON my Mac Pro, a small red light blips inside my computer and there's some sort of "click" sound, it is as if I unplug an active device from a power outlet. The same thing happens when I power OFF my Mac Pro. Is that normal?

    Wow that's strange, I just had the same thing after disassembling my MacPro to clean the CPU heat sinks.
    Is the red light on one of the RAM riser cards, if it is there a 4 red LEDs that correspond to the RAM slots on the card. If either LED 1 or 2 are blinking, try reseating the inner pair of RAM chips, if LED 3 or 4 are blinking try reseating the outer pair on that card.
    If that does not work try removing the pair in question, but be sure to leave the remaining pair in the inner 2 slots. You may have had a RAM chip go bad.
    Hopefully this helps.

  • Strange clicking noise with audio in Final Cut Express?

    I recently imported some new audio in to FCE. When I previewed it, the audio played fine however when I added it into the timeline there was a strange clicking/tapping noise playing with the audio? It is in MP3 format and I've never had a problem with using MP3 format in FCE before? If the audio format needs to be changed how do I do it?

    You can convert the audio to the correct format for FCE by using Quicktime 7.
    Open the MP3 file in Quicktime 7 and then go to the menu File > Export.
    From the drop down menu on the Export pane, choose Sound to AIFF.
    Click the Options Button and once the options pane opens choose:
    Click OK, then save  the exported file to a location of your choosing.
    Import the file you just converted into FCE and you should be good to go.

  • Distorted sound with audio preview

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the Finder file preview. As for sound files, one can usually listen to songs within the file preview, without opening an application. But since recently, the sound of this function is very loud and distorted. I had been running two such previews at the same time and suddenly the sound turned to this.
    Since then it has stayed this bad. I tried the usual means: restart, clear user caches, repair file permissions, p-ram reset ... nothing of this helped.
    The funny thing is: All other audio stuff works fine. I can listen to iTunes, use QuickTime - everything is fine. But as soon as I try to listen via the Finder preview, the sound is terrifying.
    Does anyone know any help to this, please?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
    tell application "Finder"
    quit
    end tell
    delay 1
    tell application "Finder"
    run
    end tell
    Don't press the Run button until instructed. Next, open the /Library/Preferences/ item of your home folder, and move the item com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop. Once this file has been moved, run the script, and then use the audio preview option again. If the sound is still distorted, move half of the plist files to the desktop, run the script again, and repeat the procedure until the item causing the problem is found. If nothing in the /Library/Preferences/ folder is causing the issue, continue with the other items in the home folder except for the desktop itself. If you determine that an item isn't causing the problem, you can put it back where it originally was.

  • Qosmio G30: fuzzy unclear sound with audio cleaning labs

    I have been trying to use Audio Cleaning Labs software on my laptop but only get a very fuzzy unclear sound. The software mini jack from my hi-fi into the laptop, fits the three left hand sockets and I am unsure if (any) of these should be used.
    The microphone socket is described as mono and the headphone sockets are fuzzy. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated please.

    Hello Robin
    A friend of mine has similar software but he uses it with small external hardware part connected via USB cable. This external component allows perfect sound transfer and best quality. I recommend you to contact software manufacturer and ask if they recommend usage of some additional accessories.

  • Constant restart and "clicking" sound with the apple logo reappearing.

    my iPod(80 GB) is stuck on the apple logo screen and it keeps shutting off and starting up and shutting off.. so on and so forth. I tried restoring it when i connect it to my computer but it won't get past the actual restore part. It gets all the way through the "extracting software" step and then once it hits the "restore" step it stops about half way through it and says an unknown error has occured(1439) or something like that. I looked that up and it says to try a bunch of different things and i've tried them all and nothing seems to work, not even putting it into disk mode. And once i take it out of Disk Mode a black screen with a white apple logo pops up like it wants to restore or whatever and that loads about 3/4 of the way and then goes right back to the grey screen with the apple logo and continues to go on and off. If anyone has any suggestions let me know because I'm to the point where I will launch this thing at a wall. It's SOO frustrating.

    oh... didn't realize you also had a 'corrupt ipod' message.. so far i've been spared that one.
    On an early ipod i had that message regularly after a couple of years, and it only went away when i did what i was about to do now: format the thing in mac, then go back and reformat it in Windows. I've no idea at all why that worked,or even whether it "should" work, but, with an old model it did. That particular ipod originally started malfunctioning, i think, due to my own carelessness - i'd left in on the dashboard of my van for a whole day in the sun of a very hot summer. I don't think anything electronic is over-fond of that kind of treatment... whatever, the corruption got cured but the battery gave up not very long after.
    Otherwise, i know we're dealing with XP here, not Vista, but a couple of interesting articles on a Windows blog may have a degree of relevance:

    and the follow-up
    http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=543&tag=rbxccnbzd1
    i guess i know what you mean about never using apple products again.. I haven't got that far, and don't really expect to, but I said it several times, not always entirely fairly, about Microsoft, when forced to work in nothing but Windows (I've preferred Mac as a basic system for about as long as I can remember...). Seems like Apple, now that they're selling more stuff, are doing what is often so irritating about Microsoft - rushing new stuff out with plenty of wonderful features and selling points but inadequate practical testing...

  • Clicking sound originating from Airport Express firmware 7.5.2 and later

    Hello,
    I have submitted a bug report through Apple Developer Connection (I am a registered developer). By posting this here I want to get support for our case: Make Apple fix the Airport Express firmware.
    Summary:
    The Airport Express device has a bug which appeared first in version 7.5.2. It produces a "clicking" sound when using AirPlay to transport music from an iPhone or a Mac, when certain frequencies are being played. This is not depending on the attached amplifier or headphones, digital or analog output, network settings (network created by Airport Express or not), Mac or iPhone used, audio cable or power supply involved or due to bad quality of the sound file played. The problems are not there when audio is played directly from a Mac or an iPhone through headphones or optical out. We and my colleagues (developers and audophiles) have ruled out all the other options. The problem boils down to a change in the Airports firmware starting with 7.5.2. In 7.4.2 the clicking sound is not there.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Play the following song via AirPlay on an Airport Express device having firmware 7.5.2 or higher. The Airport Express being used in our tests is the model produced from March 2008 – June 2012. Attach high fidelity headphones (like Bowers & Wilkins P5, which we used) to Airport Express. Alternatively use a very good amplifier/loundspeaker setup. We also reproduced the bug for example on an Onkyo A-9070 amplifier with both optical and analog connection - there is no difference there. The loudspeakers we used are passive Dynaudio X12.
    Play track no. 6 from the "Songs without words" album: http://itunes.apple.com/de/album/lieder-ohne-worte-op.-67-no.-2/id209380163?i=20 9381206
    Listen to this solo piano piece carefully for at least 40 seconds. You will notice a clicking sound with high frequencies. This clicking is *not* there in firmwares 7.4.2 and earlier.
    Expected Results:
    Perfect audio quality as in firmware 7.4.2 and earlier.
    Actual Results:
    Reproducible clicking sounds in high frequencies.
    Regression:
    This problem appeared first in Airport Express firmware 7.5.2 and has not been fixed yet. It can also be observed in the current version of Apple TV (as of September 16th).
    Notes:
    This issue, while not being recognized by the casual listener, makes AirPlay unusable for critical listening - at least when using any firmware after 7.4.2. I would love to use the current firmware (which produces a much more stable connection), but I (and other audiophile AIrplay users) would love to see this issue fixed first.
    Here is a thread that concludes - as we did - that Airport firmware 7.5.2 and later is the source of the problem. It is not the hardware, neither Apple's, nor the connected devices:

    I'm having the exact same problem. As a classical music lover, this is driving me nuts. It's especially noticable in soft passages in the music, when the volume is turned up high. When the dynamics increase, the little pops/clicks appear (they sound a bit like static noise, as someone stated earlier in this thread). It happens at irregular intervals. When you play pop music, the clicks will disappear (drown) in the music. But for true audiophiles who listen mainly to jazz and classical music this is a severe problem.
    I have checked everything and it's definitely an airplay issue. My apple lossless files are 100% okay and play without any problem, except when streamed via airplay. Also, it makes no difference whether you use the analogue or the optical ouptut from the airport express.
    I've created a sine frequency sweep myself in Adobe Audition, from 20 Hz up to 20000 Hz with a duration of 25 seconds and a level of -6 dB. 
    When played through airplay, the clicks always start to appear after 4 seconds in the sweep, only to disappear at 23 seconds.
    The clicks manifest themselves at different volume levels. To my ears, they make the same sound as when you change the volume in iTunes when streaming music through airplay. Only when you set the volume in iTunes extremely low, the clicks will disappear.
    Apple engineers should use a frequency sweep to recreate the problem, as this is very revealing.
    PS: file format isn't an issue here. I've converted the Apple Lossless file to MP3, and it makes no difference at all.

  • Tick sound before audio

    Does anyone else have this problem or has anyone heard of it?...when I play a song or get an IM or any audio is played a short but annoying tick plays right before. Anyway to fix this...just got this thing Tuesday...and with the graphics distortion but Ram on the way...I am trying to hold out as much as I can before exchanging this one.

    I really don't think you are correct on this thread. I too have the click sound preceding audio and it has nothing to do with the Audio sub system shutting down to power save mode. It has nothing to do with battery power as mine is doing it on AC power.
    I've never said that this covers all situations. What applies to one person doesn't necessarily apply to everyone. It is possible that you have another issue beyond the audio sub-system being powered on and off. If your behaviour follows an expecterd pattern of…
    1-2 second delay -> tick/crackle -> sound
    … then it's most likely the powering up of the audio sub-system. It's the 1-2 second delay that really gives it away rather than any tick or crackle. If there's no short delay before you expect sound then it's not a case of the sub-system power.
    I have owned several other laptops and powerbooks and NONE of them ever did this. I personally think it is some kind of defect.
    Were those Apple laptops? Windows/PC hardware power management can and will work differently to that of Apple and Mac OS so it's possible that the audio sub-system was never shutdown at all under Windows. I've never owned a PC laptop to know. I've had 6 PowerBook and 2 iBooks and they all followed the above behaviour to varying degrees. The only thing that varied was the extent of the tick/crackle with the worst offender being a PowerBook 3400c.
    This is not a normal sound and there has to be a defect or something
    Then persue it as such. If the decribed behaviour doesn't fit your situation then follow that up as something else. Start yourself a new thread or contact AppleCare and follow it up as something that is not the powering on and off of the audio sub-system.
    From your description the time is too short for the sub-system power to be going off under any circumstances. But that doesn't make it wrong for the OP and the original thread.

  • Clicking sound when I insert CD/DVD

    I just want to ask if that clicking sound is normal. Because it sound really, really bad.

    Hi Keith, it really hard for me to tell, because I cannot hear it myself.
    But my macbook and all other 2 in my office all produce clicking sound when those macbook start up, or pull the disk into the optical drive, and I consider that normal.
    Visit apple store and compare your "clicking" sound with their display unit, and if they produce similar sound, then consider that normal.
    Good Luck.

  • Click sound heard when clip audio is at 0

    I am using iMovie 9.0.4.  I have several video clips in my movie, with audio from a .aiff file througout.  The video clips I am using have audio, but I don't want to hear it, so it set it to zero for each one.  But with video clips with especially loud audio, even when set to zero, I hear a click sound when they start, as it it is late by 5ms in attenutating the audio to zero.
