Click sound between gapless tracks

So I got a CD (Demigod from Behemoth to be specific), and I'm trying to rip it with iTunes. The first two songs are supposed to flow together gaplessly/seamlessly. However, instead of it flowing perfectly like when I play the CD, the ripped MP3s (very high quality VBR) have a small "click" sound in between the songs. This has never happened to me on iTunes and I don't know how to fix it. Anyone know what to do?

If you mean checking the "Gapless album" thing in the song info, I've done that, but nothing happened.

Clicking sound between shots

HELP!!
I've captured all of my footage into final cut express (camcorder: Sony HDR HC7) and there's an audio problem. I've noticed that final cut captures video in pieces from camcorders. I've taken these pieces, placed some I/O points on them and put them in the timeline. In the canvas, when I play the entire project, there is this 'click' sound between each clip. No matter where the I/O points are, as soon as one clip ends and the slider continues onto the next clip, this clicking sound happens. I've tried exporting the video and it's still there!! When I preview the clips in the viewer and there is no click. Please help me someone!!

Hi(Bonjour)!
What are clips and sequence properties? (select their icon and use contextual menu to get this info).
Did you render audio mixdown?

Annoying clicking sound between slides

We have this on all of our presentations - you can hear it in
this one, for instance:
http://breeze.quinnipiac.edu/p79364952/
I've even gone into audio edit to see if I could make it go
away. I did edit down the volume around the red line that marked
the boundaries between slides. Net result - the clicks got
louder.

Jeff,
Yes, the post-editing worked. I'd tried to do something like
that using volume control (no results), but found silence under
Insert. Silence is golden. Thanks!

Bad Clicking Sound when Copying and Pasting Tracks

This is something that I can't figure out but use fairly frequently so I need a solution...
Let's say I want to record a guitar part that is going to repeated throughout the whole song. I will record the track for a couple measures and copy and paste that track for as long as I want it to repeat. The problem is that during playback in the transition between the copied tracks there will be a harsh "clicking" sound on all the copied tracks. It usually does it at the very beginning of the song too when that part comes in for the first time. Any suggestions?

I will record the track for a couple measures and copy and paste that track for as long as I want it to repeat. The problem is that during playback in the transition between the copied tracks there will be a harsh "clicking" sound on all the copied tracks.
Have you tried to loop the regions instead of copying?
And make sure to cut the regions at a place where there is a complete silence.

Long pauses between gapless playback tracks

Hi,
I'm using iTunes 8.2 in Leopard PPC on an iMac G4. I'm experiencing annoying pauses between songs on albums that have gapless playback enabled. The pauses typically run for about 30 seconds, during which iTunes is totally unresponsive. I'm pretty sure this is caused due to the fact that my iTunes Library is located on a network share, but the strange thing is that it never happened before. It only started with iTunes 8.1 IIRC. Non gapless tracks cross fade perfectly, by the way. No noticeable delay there.
Anyone have an idea how I could fix this besides simply disabling gapless playback? TIA!

This question is one that crops up a lot on these forums and has been a major source of complaint for as long as the iPod has been in existence.
Currently the only way to eliminate the gap between songs is to import the cd as one track. You do this by using the “join cd tracks” option in the advanced menu of iTunes.
Make sure the tracks are in their correct order, and highlight those you wish to join.
No gaps, but the downside is that you will of course lose the ability to navigate between tracks, and the song info is also lost. The iPod will display the cd title in the song field in the “now playing” screen . You’ll also have one large file instead of a number of smaller ones.
If you would like to see gapless playback implemented to the iPod, add your voice to the many here.

The crossfade feature is an iTunes feature only just fyi.

Powerbook clicking sound being recorded to audio track

I'm trying to record audio cd using internal microphone of my powerbook onto Garageband 08. When I replay the track I am hearing an internal clicking sound, presumably from the guts of the laptop. I have two questions:
First, Is there a way to minimize this?
Second, would using an external microphone stop this completely or would there still be background noise?
Please note it is basic meditation audio cd with no music going to be incorporated
Thank you all

assuming that it really is the hard drive or fan (etc), then a USB mic that you can set a distance away from the machine should help, yes.

Gap in "gapless" track when "repeat one" in use

I have some short tracks meant to be played on an infinite loop -- babbling brook sound and such. As you can imagine, though these sound fine when played in a truly seamless loop, if there's even a small gap when the track repeats, they sound horrible.
The tracks play just fine in iTunes -- no gaps, seamless, perfect. But when played on my iPod Classic, there's a brief gap when the track repeats. Just a fraction of a second glitch, but it's enough to change the effect from relaxing to horribly jarring. Unusable, in short.
Is this a known iPod bug, or is there something I can do to fix it? (Yes, I have considered taking the short tracks and dup'ing them a few hundred times in a sound editor to create one big truly gapless music file with lots of repetitions, but that seems like a very ugly hack.)

The term "gapless" when referring to the iPod is usually understood to mean no gap between one track _and the next_ , and so expecting the iPod to manage gapless transitions when repeating the same track is probably asking a bit much of it. Perhaps someone else reading this may disagree...
By the way, I believe that the iPod's gapless feature is designed to work as follows: when you select "crossfade playback" (in iTunes, Edit/Preferences/Playback) each song is faded into the next - except for any albums marked as gapless. (I have not actually tried crossfade playback yet, but I have read about it in other posts.)
You could always try the crossfade playback and see what happens, but I think your ugly hack may be the only answer! Actually, one last thought, how long are these short tracks? The Classic iPod models must buffer the output from the hard drive to the headphones (again, I'm sure someone will disagree ) and if the track is very short, the buffer may not have time to find the start of the track before it finishes. Do you get the gap if you let the track play through to a third time?

Hard Drive is not spinning up making rhythmic click sounds

Hello,
My Hard Drive is not spinning up and making rhythmic click sounds. I charged it completely. Tried to reset it but this results only in the Folder-Icon with a support link. It can not be connected to my computer anymore via USB. It is not recognized as a external disk anymore. I tried the disk mode too. nothing helps.
As I can't connect it to my computer anymore I can't reformat it.
Any ideas besides throwing it away...?
Thanks, Juergen

Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

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:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17296916#17296916
Hope this helps!

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.

Clicking sound in Safari when viewing new tabs

Hi,
I'm having an issue with safari v5.0.2 on a macbook pro, where each time I first visit a new page on a tab, I hear a clicking sound. It only happens to tabs with pages I'm visiting for the first time in the session.
I have several other Macs which don't show the issue.
I'm getting a bit paranoid, cos I bought the macbook pro from an acquaintance who's had it a number of years. He had "wiped" the disk of his stuff before handing it over, but I found a tracking software installed.
I've since erased the disk, but this sound (which my other 4 comps don't make) is making me nervous.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I did a 7-pass erase.
That'll do it eh
...comes through the speakers
good - must be some software glitch or universal access setting; the account test should confirm where to look, or you might start by disabling any safari extensions or other add-ons.

Can't hear menu effect (click sounds) through Optical cable

After connecting my Apple TV to my receiver through Optical I've noticed that I can no longer hear the Apple TV's menu sounds (click sounds) anymore unless I scroll through a menu real fast.
Is there anyway to fix this?

As far as I can tell, the M-Audio Keystation 61es does not have any form of on board sound generation. So whatever you heard in Garageband was synthesized by GB. In the same way you'll have to set up a virtual instrument in Logic to generate the sound.
Apart from that, it sounds like you are not really aware of the difference between Midi controller data and audio data, or at least the way they are routed. The midi controller has no way to send audio to logic through a midi connection. If it had on-board sounds, you'd have to route the audio explicitly to logic using an audio interface or in rare cases using audio over the USB connection that also does midi. In any case, you'd have to route the sound manually. The external instrument plugin in logic allows you to do that easily. But again, I don't think that applies to your situation.
Cheers,
Jazz

My MBA w/SSD makes click-click sounds every 6 secs ?

I've read the post that describes ticking sounds that people are reporting on presumably MBAs w/HDD. That post seems to imply the ticking sounds come from the HDD. After reading that post and prior to receiving my MBA w/SSD today I thought I would not be plagued by the ticking sounds.
However, I find that my MBA w/SSD is now making click-click sounds every 6 secs with about 1 sec between the click-click all the time.
Do others w/SSD hear these click-click sounds every 6 secs or so ?
I've disconnected the Mag Safe and it makes no difference. I've disconnected my USB-Ethernet adapter ad it makes no difference.
The MBA is not hot either.
I will say though that I don't recall hearing these sounds when I first booted my MBA today. It seems to have started some 6 hours after having used the MBA for the first time.
I'm starting to find these click-click sounds annoying as apart from them the MBA is completely quiet and it's now become like hearing the tic-tok sound of a clock when trying to get to sleep.

Brian:
I'm in agreement with you on this. I downloaded smcFanControl App and it shows fan rpm at "000".
Using TermperatureMonitor I find the Cores 1 & 2 are running at around 200ºF with RPM is 000.
Not looking good at all. Time to Call AppleCare for sure.
It does seem like my MBA w/SSD has a faulty fan.
If MBA were to overheat is it designed to shutdown to protect itself ?
Well I think I've got an answer to that question as CPU 2 has been disabled per Activity Monitor. It's just plain shutdown and only one processor is running now. Core 1 temp has dropped to 141ºF now.
Stopped the two CPU burner Apps and now see that CPU 2 has come back online. At least the MBA is designed to protect itself from a meltdown even with the fan not running. Good design IMO.
The baby is going back to the shop for sure. Bummer.
I guess the click-click sound every 6 secs should serve as a warning to others.
Thanks.

Won't unmute / annoying clicking sound when adjusting volume

Hi, I'm using an HP Pavillion dv5 Notebook PC.
After muting then unmuting in Windows Vista (or using the touch button) I will have no sound. It returns when I restart or sometimes after a random amount of time. I've had this problem since purchasing the computer.
Another extremely annoying issue is that when using the touch volume slider there will be a clicking sound to go with the onscreen graphic of the volume changing. The clicking lags and sometimes goes on for several seconds after I've stopped touching the slider (sometimes 30seconds+ if I use the slider a lot).
If anyone has a solution or suggestion for either of these issues it would be muchly appreciated, thanks.

I have an HP Pavilion dv7-1003ea Entertainment Notebook but had the same problem which HP were unable to resolve for me. I solved it by replacing one of the infuriating sounds with a short period of silence. If you look in C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP QuickTouch you may find 3 WAV files and a program SelectiveSound.exe which if you run it will enable you to switch between the 3 WAV files.
I recorded a brief period of silence using a recording program called Polderbits but you could use any similar program. I renamed one of the 3 WAV files (in case I ever needed to revert) and saved my silent file with the original name of the WAV file in the HP Quick Touch directory. Incidentally simply deleting or renaming one of the WAV files didn't work. The system seems to remember the sound it last used. You actually need to replace the sound with a period of silence. Windows had a built in recorder in XP (C:\Windows\System32\sndrec32.exe)which produced WAV files. The similar program in Vista can be found in Start\All Programs\Accessories\Sound Recorder but alas for some reason known only to the Nerds at Microsoft this will only produce WAV files if you have Vista Home Basic. If you have the Premium version it will only produce WMA files which don't work in HPs QuickTouch.
I don't know who takes the prize for the most infuriating here. The idiot at HP who thinks its a good idea for a volume control to click at you everytime you use it or the idiot at Microsoft who decided what type of sound clip can be produced with your version of Vista. Good luck

There's a click sound (akin to a cowbell) each time I release a piano key..

Hi, I'm new to GarageBand.
I'm having a problem that I can't figure out how to resolve:
*There's a tick/click sound (akin to a cowbell) each time I release a piano key (Yamaha Clavinova).*
No problems with instruments (they play fine) and no problem with recording tracks. But for the life of me I can't get rid of that clicking (which is often louder than the instrument itself), therefore unable to focus on recording.
I appreciate any help.

Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.
