Help fixing/preventing horrible click/popping in Audition recording - example in topic.

Hi,
Looking for help/advice.
I recently recorded a podcast using Adobe Audition CS6 for Mac and upon listening back noticed that all audio after about the 3 minute mark was plagued with a terrible crackle/pop throughout - hear the example here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28237748/58%20test.mp3
Now I've had this happen only once before and that was because my I/O Buffer Size was set too low - I had since fixed this by setting it to 2048 and never had te issue again. I was also able to hear the crackle in my headphones that time - however this time there was no warning.
Is there any way to repair the audio? I have used the click removal effect and while it helps the crackles are still quite noticeable. Any other tips you can give me? I'm desperate to try and clean this up as much possible.
Also what could have caused this? I use a Mackie mixer and it seemed to start when all 3 of us doing the show started talking simultaneously.
Very very strange.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Yes, the fact that it suddenly started also makes it unlikely to be a buffer issue - that would be pretty consistent if it occurred. The only reasonable way to reduce it is to find out what the real cause is - and that may require some detective work on your part, I fear.
You need to try recording again, and make a careful note of exactly what you're doing. One thing you might try is reducing all the signal levels a bit and see if that stops it - you could, as an outside possibility, have some sort of a signal-handling issue going on in the mixer, although generally Mackies are pretty good.
As for getting rid of it in an existing recording, then possibly use the Click Eliminator (the Audition effect that you'd normally use for processing scratchy vinyl records), or even try sampling a click and using Audition's Noise Reduction - that would probably get rid of most of the effect, too.

Horrible clicking/popping noise

I opened up my 12" G4 PB this morning and an awful racket ensued. I immediately restarted but the nose did too. The clicking/popping is coming from the the back left, near where the power cord connects. Removing the cord makes no difference - the only thing that quiets it down is putting the book to sleep. It does not seem to be louder or faster when the book is working hard but keeps up a steady rat-a-tat-tat when it is awake. It does not sound like a fan to me. The book seems to be functioning normally otherwise but the noise is really loud and totally obnoxious.
I bought this book refurbished from small dog about 6 months ago. It has always made a funny noise when awaking from sleep - hard to describe but I had never heard a Mac make a noise like that and I found it kind of endearing. Now I wonder if there is a connection to what I am now experiencing.
Any thoughts?

Hi sandyfeet -
It may be your fan as it is located in that area ...however your fan would not normally come on unless you've been working your powerbook for a while (it getting warm).
If the sound was coming from the 'front' left then it may be the drive that could be on it's last legs. Have you noticed any performance issues lately that would indicate a failing drive?
Perhaps the people you bought it from could open it up quickly to better see what the problem is ...it wouldn't take all that much time.

FAQ: Tips/Fixs for clicks, pops and glitches in sound ca

I have come across this little article from the internet while surfing and thought it could be of some use posting it here. Follow the link below.
Tips/Fixs for clicks, pops and glitches in sound card
If after following the tips on this page you are still having troubles, then contact support or wait for other peers in the forum for further advise and suggestion.
This particular phrase that's quoted from the article which is very true.
"This is a HUGE topic and I have come across it many times. The hardest thing to do in tech support is to explain to someone that the fault is not to do with the audio card, but instead with the way the computer is setup or the fault of components in their system. Pcs are built to a budget and parts do suffer because of this."

I know this stuff is 3 months old but I just got mine and hadn't yet used the pin function so now I know.
I hope you are right Nancy that it will have updates, but I really doubt it. This is the norm for Microsoft when stuff they put out bombs. Dish Network had a DVR receiver many years ago that had Microsoft software installed and it was buggy to say the least. They updated it a few times but then abandon it. For a few years Microsoft wouldn't release the code to Dish Network to allow DN to fix the bugs. It was a real "Hate Microsoft" time for those users. DN had to put out their own coded DVR receivers and let the Microsoft ones die.
I think VZ made a deal with MS and removed the stuff MS wasn't supporting. Then VZ put them out without needing a data package to unload them.

HP D017TU Laptop - Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and i can't get ride of it

Just purchased a brand new HP D017TU Laptop so nothing been done with it. I installed windows 7 on my HP D017TU laptop. it was working fine.
Then 2 days ago the Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and now I can't get ride of it.
I have tried the following things to get ride of the issue,
1) Format windows 7 os
2) Delete All partition and re-create
3) Re-install windows 7
Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.
"SuperJbye replied on July 14, 2013
Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you"

To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
1. Run 'msconfig'
2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is! Untick ALL the items and reboot. The help pane will not appear harrah! Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot. You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
4. Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
6. Open 'regedit'
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder. BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
8. You're welcome."
Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Bad clicking popping sound when macbook plugged into external speakers

I have a black MacBook Core Duo, a white Macbook Core 2 Duo, and a Macbook Pro Core Duo that are suddenly ALL exhibiting horrible behavior when plugged into external speakers using the 1/8th inch headphone output converted to RCA to connect to the speakers.
I have always known that sometime in the last year or 2, one of the OS updates introduced a popping noise when the audio system has been idle and then suddenly fires a sound again after being quiet for a while.
But now all 3 of these machines, all running 10.6.7 with all current available software updates are exhibiting a clicking / popping /crackling sound almost CONSTANTLY when hooked up to the same set of speakers I've had for years. I tested with other speakers just to make sure the noise is still there.
Every time someone goes on or offline in my ichat buddy list, the crackling noise that accompanies the typical buddy available/unavailable sound is extremely irritating.
Every time I hit the volume up or down button I hear the awful noise alone with the volume feedback sound. If I keep hitting volume up or down FAST repeatedly, the sound goes away. But the moment I stop doing anything for even 1-2 seconds, and then touch the volume up/down buttons again, the cracking sound returns.
I have no idea what software update introduced this problem or what the heck is going on. I have booted these machines from external drives with a fresh install of 10.6.7. I've tried 10.5.8. Nothing works.
It's like some kind of firmware has permanently screwed up the 1/8th inch output on all of these machines when hooked up to external speakers. And these are all completely different model laptops
I do not hear the noise through these laptops' internal speakers, or if I plug headphones directly into their headphone jacks.
I have had to install an M-Audio USB Micro onto my main laptop to use it's 1/8th inch stereo out to connect to my speakers in order to eliminate this horrible noise. But this should NOT be necessary and I am not satisfied with this fix as a permanent solution.
I'm astonished to find this problem on ALL THREE of these different laptops suddenly.
The Anti Pop program did not alleviate the problem. Please help. Apple please issue software fixes to get rid of these problems once and for all.

IPod suddenly no longer connects to any computer, hangs and clicks/pops

I recently (within the last two weeks) started using a program called PodUtil ( http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php ) to manage my music library between my work and home computers. Everything seems to have gone off without a hitch, but as of Friday my iPod started behaving very strangely.
I was playing a song on it through iTunes on my work computer when all of the sudden the song cut out and iTunes froze up. I was forced to disconnect my iPod manually without disconnecting it through the computer, and when I hooked it back up my entire system locked up until the iPod was once again removed. I plugged it in again and left the system alone and finally fifteen minutes later I got an error message saying that an iPod was detected but the iPod software wasn't installed. Despite this not being true, I uninstalled iTunes and the iPod software, reinstalled them, and finally the iPod worked correctly.
Until I brought it home and plugged it into my home computer and the exact same problem occurred. I once again uninstalled iTunes and the iPod software but this time it didn't fix the problem. The iPod refuses to connect now to any of the computers I've tried it on (home, work, my roommate's PC and even a work mac) and every time it's plugged in the system hangs until it's disconnected. I have also noticed that when it's plugged in every few minutes there's a loud hum and a clicking/popping sound that reminds me of drive heads failing on a harddrive.
The iPod itself works fine, I can play everything and it gives me absolutely no trouble. It's when I connect it to a computer that the problems begin.
I'm at a loss for what to do. I've tried every single thing under the knowledge base including rebooting and reinstalling and nothing's helped. It almost seems like there's a physical problem with the iPod (from the clicking sound) but the clicks never happen during normal operation and I haven't dropped it or anything that would've broken it. It's out of warranty and I'd rather not pay the cost of a new iPod to get this one fixed. Furthermore I took my songs off of my computer to free up space and the last music backup I have isn't entirely recent. But I can't even get it to restore even if I wanted to because it doesn't respond when it's connected. Any help will be great. Thanks!

Problems when trying to remove clicks/pops

I am trying to remove some clicks/pops and have strange problems:
I change to spectral view and zoom in very much, so the click is about 2 cm wide on my screen, so I can select part of it. Then I go to favorites and choose "Autom. Korrektur" (I have the german version, in the english version it's probably called "Repair Transient" or "Auto Heal"). So far it works fine.
But it happened now several times that after saving (this is important, it only seems to happen right after I save), after using "Autom. Korrektur" for the next time, audition has a problem and the wave file looks garbled. Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

>It's inconsistent to say the least. In most European languages except british, the decimal delimiter is a comma.
Yes, it is a bit inconvenient having the decimal and multiple delimiters the wrong way around, isn't it? And I think that everybody else's use
is wrong - the OS and vast majority of software apps are written in the
lingua franca - QED... but read on, because even I'm prepared to admit that it's not quite that simple, and in all honesty, I don't
really see why a lot of people should have to change the habits of a lifetime - even if they're bad ones!
>Perhaps Adobe should get hold of some beta testers outside the US
They have... most major European countries are represented, one way or another. And yes, there have been complaints about a load of keyboard-related stuff in the past. Unfortunately Adobe have managed to cock this whole thing up even when it was working properly before - as anybody playing with previous scripts with point delimiters will tell you! So, it's not really a beta test problem
per se - it's simply a matter of whether Adobe choose to act on what beta testers say, and that's a whole different ball game; they are not obliged to take any notice of us at all if they don't want to. I have no idea why some things get fixed and other things don't, but in this case it's not because it hasn't been spotted, believe me.
And yes, this all has to do with multiple language versions, and I think very specifically to do with using a language version with the keyboard settings for another country. Sometimes, and with some software, this solves problems - but just as often, it seems to cause even more. But yes, I believe that installing the software using a consistent keyboard layout for the country code you are using generally works - although not always... and yes, Adobe should be consistent, and just as importantly spell out the pitfalls in the installation procedure; this might reduce the frustration somewhat too.

CLICK POPS sounds on my RIGHT speaker.. WH

Hello there all, Well thats pretty much my question, I have new speakers and an Audigy 2 value (normal version).All is fresh installed and drivers are intalled perfectly.

It did. And I moved it to another PCI slot and now is usins its own IRQ *6*.. but I still gettint the same CLICK POPS sounds on my "RIGHT" speaker.. same thing.. Why? please I need help! I have formatted harddri've as well and no fix at all.. Thanks a lot! Any help would be highly appreciate it.

Can you test the card in another system? If there is the same issue --> faulty card.
IRQ 6 is a virtual IRQ so it can be shared even now. Try another slot.
Before doing this, you can also disable (temporary) all unused/unneeded controllers/devices showing on Device Manager. Just _right_mouse_klick_ the item and select disable (nothing else need to do). Later enabling is done by the same way (just select and enable).
Normally you can disable: onboard stuff like sound/serial com(s)/parallel (printer)/modem/midi/firewire (all)/etc. All USB controllers you do not need and Audigy firewire (if there is one). Also you can disable your NIC (onboard or PCI)temporarily.
By doing this all, you get more IRQs freed, and then maybe find the culprit (sharing IRQ with sound card).
this so far ...

TO ADD A CUSTOM ENTRY IN RIGHT CLICK POP UP MENU IN ORACLE HRMS FLEX FIELDS

We are building a custom help for Oracle HRMS. For this I need to add a custom Help entry in the right click pop up menu. I did this by adding the code APP_POPUP.INSTANTIATE('POPUP10','Custom Help',TRUE,'LINE') in the APPCORE lib. After this change the right click menu shows the new entry 'Custom Help' when user right clicks in any of the form but the new entry Custom Help' doesn't show up when I right click in flexfields. I am sure I need to do some thing else for flex fields.. Does any one have any idea on this ?

You have to refer to the Current Form, Current Block , Current Item so that the menu appears only in the form where you want to see.

Got help fixing my youtube problem, now that is working. In the process of making the fix, lost my aol set up. Re installed it, but cannot access the icon. How do i get my AOL back?

If it's an application, it should be in the Applications folder. If in doubt, double click on the hardrive icon to open it up, then press Command+F (find) and in the window that comes up for what you want to find, type in AOL and it should appear. You can either drag it to the Dock for easy access or make an alias of that, and drag that alias to the Dock. Oh, and just so's you know, this forum is for Desktop macs only. We may be able to answer your question about a MacBook Pro. Same kind of animal, but different breeds.

Audio question, clicking/popping when adjusting volume?

Hi all,
I returned my last touch because of loud hissing when headphones are plugged in. I notice it on higher quality headphones. when i move the volume slider i also hear this clicking/popping noise. Does anyone else hear that when they move the volume slider up and down or is an indication of a problem? it almost sounds like a poor sound effect. any thoughts would be helpful.
be sure to pause the music/movie when testing...

^^^ same here, no hissing but faint pops when adjusting the volume when a song is on pause in the 3/4 to full volume range. Never noticed it until I saw this thread though.

Click/pop on a great track

oh man..I have an otherwise perfect track. It's an acoustic guitar track. There is a tiny boo boo/click pop. I tried zooming in and then opening the sample editor. Not only can't i hear anything once i'm in the sample editor but I can't find the click/pop. How the heck do I get rid of this mistake? I am pulling my hair out as I can't figure out how to do this?????please help in as much detail as possible. THANKS YOU

I still don't understand. I can hear the pop and have an idea where the pop is. I am in the arrange window. Now I zoom in and highlight the area with the marquee tool. I then double click to get to the sample editor (I had to change back to the default tool to double click). I am now in the sample editor. What do I do next ? do i zoom in on the popped area again within the sample editor? then try to draw the pop out ? am I even close? how come I get no sound? several replies mention buffer settings...this seems strange..everythings working fine...seems I am missing something quite simple..sorry I feel stupid here!!
