How to remove/minimze audio "pop" or "click"

Using FCP 4.5
I have an audio pop/click within a clip and have been unable to figure a way to remove it or at least minimize it. I can see it in the viewer when the wave form is displayed Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Ron

Randy,
Thank you for the suggested approaches...since it is a split second pop...and dialogue is not an issue, I think I will go with cutting and pasting. I have Soundsoap...but haven't used it much...but I may experiment once I finish this project.
I was hoping there was some kind of (simple) audio filter in FCP that would limit the pop...but apparently there isn't, at least not one that I could find.
Anyway, thanks again for your help...I'm off to cut, copy and paste.

  • How do I get rid of audio pops and clicks between clips in Final Cut Pro X?

    Is there a layman, non-professional way to do this? These are just video files... i don't know anything about formats of different files and all that, but i read in other posts that the files should be "uncompressed 48k something something", but i dont even know how to convert the audio(From video) that's already on my timeline to this format

    Your clicks probably are related to the fact that you are using the whole clip, leaving no "handles". Handles are extra portions of a clip, before and after the portion you use in your timeline.
    The clicks are probably caused by the camera. You are using whole clips (that is why you get the warning when trying Cmd-T, "there is no extra media..."), so you are starting and ending right where the camera did.
    If possible, trim a little bit at the end and start of each clip. Select just the edge of the clip (not the whole clip) and drag a little bit to shorten it. Just a few frames might be enough.
    For the future, you should remember to let the camera capture a little more than you will actually use - so that you can have those "handles". See the picture.

  • FCE 4 Audio Popping and Clicking -

    When using the voice over tool in Final Cut Express 4, I hear popping and clicking upon playback. My microphone goes through a Presonus Firebox. I do not hear the popping and clicking when I record through GarageBand, but this is after I make sure the file is saved in .aif. I do not believe this is a PreSonus issue, rather some wacky setting in FCE. I also read elsewhere this may be due to the fact that I may have had too many open audio tracks, but I have subsequently deleted all other audio tracks. Is this a bit rate issue? I have the Firebox set at 48,000 and the rate is the same in FCE. Tech support does not know how to solve the issue. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Figured it out. It had to do with a compatibility issue between the G5 and the Presonus Firebox. We installed FCE and connected the Firebox to a MacBook Pro and heard no popping in the audio track. We then purchased the M-Audio Fast Track Pro and recorded audio using the voiceover tool and heard no popping or clicking.

  • Some help please: how to remove incompatible audio units?

    Hello forum readers,
    If someone knows, a little help would be appreciated:
    When staring Logic Pro X, each time Audio Units are automatically being scanned. All the time I get a window with the message "Incompatible Audio Units found":
    "While verifying Audio Unit compatibility, Logic Pro X encountered 1 Audio Unit plug-in(s) which did not pass the Apple AU validation. These plug-ins have been excluded from further usage in Logic Pro X to prevent possible problems or crashes. You can start the AU Manager now to review the validation results or continue the startup process."
    When opening the Audio Units manager, I see that "AUSpeechSynthesis (Automap)applttsp"  (Manufacturer: Apple, type: generator) couldn't be opened. I don't know how to remove or bypass this plug-in, as the option "disable failed audio units" doesn't seem to work. Now each time I start Logic Pro X, the same message keeps appearing. I also can't find that file on my Mac, a searched for it and also the Finder can't find it.
    Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Thijs

    I have the same problem but I can´t figure out how to unwrap AUSpeechSynthesis. I can´t even find it in the filesystem with spotlight.....   ;o(
    And yes I have turned on the 64bit plugin friendly option in Automap's Preferences.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How to remove old audio/video

    I have recently moved most of my photos and videos to an eternal hard drive but I am not sure how to remove everything from my HD.  I deleted everything out of Iphoto and deleted the trash but if I do a search for video it still shows videos in Iphoto.  Also I am not sure how to remove all of the old video from Imovie without doing any damage.

    I deleted all of my pictures/videos from Iphoto, emptied the Iphoto trash, and got 30 gigs of storage back.  Now it was showing an empty library but if I searched for all movies there were a ton left in Thumbnails, originals, etc.  Hidden folders in the Iphoto Library.  So even though I couldn't see any photos left in Iphoto I decided to delete the enitre Library and start over.  I dragged the library to the trash and I got another 30 gigs of storage back!  All for hidden backups of files that I thought I had deleted.

  • How to remove value from pop list in iProcurement Page

    I need to remove a value from POP list. How can I do this? Can I do this using Perosnalization?
    While creating requisition in the approvers page there are two buttons one is Approvers and another is Add_Attachments.
    When I click Add_Attachments button it will open another page there I need enter description and select category from the pop list and define attachment.
    In the category list I need to remove one value. How do i do this.Personalization links not available in this page.
    Please help guys...
    Thanks Advance
    Kumar

    Kumar,
    First you need to find out the data source for the category pop list. Based on that we can suggest how to achieve that requirement as there are many different ways of specifying the data source for a pop list.

  • How to remove unwanted audio using audio effects?

    The audio effects in question: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7d80a .html
    I've been meaning to learn how to do this for a while so I thought I'd get started.
    I want to learn how to clean up my audio. I don't have very professional audio gear, I'm using a Rode videomic pro on a canon 60D so the quality isn't the best but it's ok for now. There is a lot I want to learn but right now there are 2 things on my mind:
    1. I have a deadcat wind muff on my rode but still when the wind hits it I get this unwanted wind sound on my soundtrack. I know there has to be a way to remove or reduce this somehow using the audio effects.
    2. Slight white noise over my audio. I know this is a result of recording directly from my camera but there has to be a way to reduce the white noise in order to get clearer audio. I've seen people recording right out of their camera and they have way better results than me.

    I know there has to be a way to remove [wind noise]
    There is.  It's called ADR.
    there has to be a way to reduce the white noise
    There is.  Better equipment.
    Sorry but, I think you may be expecting to much of your post production tools.

  • How to remove digicam audio hiss?

    I've decided to put in some of the 640X480 30fp movies I took on my canon IXUS700 into iMovie
    Resolution is fine but audio hiss at the high end is really bad
    What settings can I use to remove it?
    Tried using audio noise remover but doesn't seem to apply to all clips? not sure how to use it...
    Any tips welcome
    Thanks
    Jason

    Hi Jason
    In iMovie HD 6 there is some rudimentary sound tools. You might try the
    equalizer and take down the high frequencies.
    alt. 1 (but costly)
    a. Extract sound
    b. export this sound clip as .aiff
    c. buy SoundSoap™ and run it
    d. import back and match this new sound + silece out the old soundfile.
    alt. 2 (may be even more costly)
    a. get FinalCutExpress HD 3.5. The soundtools here are near to professional.

  • How to remove old items from right-click contextual menus?

    So, I've installed two versions of Photoshop. The older CS4 and then recently upgraded to CS5. I've uninstalled some items (Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4) from the system using the Adobe uninstaller. But for some strange reason, if I control-click or right-click on an item, say a PDF, Photoshop CS4 or Illustrator CS4 Still show up in the list ...
    I've searched the ~/Library/ folder and can't find a Contextual menus folder.
    In the /Library/Contextual menus folder only 1 item is listed even if I show all files.
    Any ideas? I'm very much lost and I would really like to have the applications that no longer exist on the drive removed from the list... Thanks in advance

  • How to fix streaming audio pops/crackles and then stops all sound

    I am a google Chrome user.  I am unsure if this problem is related to Chrome or to Flash by I suspect there is a problem with both.  I previously had this problem where when you start a youtube video for example the audio would pop/crack and then the audio would go dead.  If you were able to put the video on full screen before this happened it would work fine.  This really only happens with windowed (non-fullscreen videos).  Previously I went in to my chrome plugins and disabled chrome's native flash and that fixed the issue.  With the most recent update to Chrome this has happened again.  This time disabling chrome's flash does not work.  On the adobe version site it says that for chrome the version should be 11.5.31.137 but it shows me as using 11.5.502.146.  The latter would be the version for firefox.  I do not use firefox.  Could this be causing my trouble?  I have used the official flash uninstaller and restarted my computer and reinstalled but the same thing happened.  Thanks.

    Thanks for the link.  I have tried what they recommend.  I currently have two flash files.  I have disabled the chrome one and the one that is enabled is C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_5_502_146.dll
    However, I ran the chrome://flash and this is what I got:

    I've never looked at this before but it is weird that it is saying that that flash is not used.
    Anyone know about the firefox version of flash installing for Chrome because as I described above that doesn't seem right.

  • How to Remove "OLAP Functions with right-click" in Workbooks (By VBA?)

    Dear Experts:
    After we created workbooks, to prevent end users from using certain BEx functions, we greyed out some "icons"
    on SAP BEx Menu in the workbooks. But now we have one problems: because we also made "Setting" unable on the menu bar, now we are not able to remove one marked selection: "OLAP Functions with right-click". Is there any way we can disable "OLAP Functions with right-click", then users can only use the normal Excel functions in the workbooks??
    Thank you very much and BR
    SzuFen

    Hello,
    Go to Business Explorer Menu, Select Settings, Uncheck OLAP Function with Right Click and save it as existing workbook.
    I have tried it. It works, when you reopen, it will be still disable..
    Hope it helps.

  • How to Remove an Audio Device

    I installed 'Boom' on my 11" MBA to increase the volume on low level sources. It worked, but used an unacceptably large amount of CPU. I uninstalled it in the usual way, however I am left with an audio device called 'Boomdevice' (visible in the Audio MIDI setup utility). This doesn't seem to be affecting anything, but I would like to get rid of it. Does anyone know how?
    Thank you.

    Boom has completely killed the audio from my 15" MBP - running 10.6.8.  Nothing I try, including uninstalling it and reboot, has restored it.  Currently trying to find system drivers to reinstall...
    I know it hasn't utterly killed my speakers because the machine makes a noise when it reboots, but I can't listen to ITunes or Spotify, watch videos, etc.
    My recommend?  Avoid this app at all costs!

  • Stuttery audio, pops and clicks since updating

    ok, i've just updated to the itunes (7.0.2) and it's already giving me a headache.
    Every time i'm playing audio i get lots of pops and cracks. I've noticed that if i look at my cpu usage chart the pops come along at exactly the same interval as i get cpu spikes. (about 50% cpu usage). I can't think what's going on.
    All my drivers are up to date, direct x etc., and i've checked out that article that attempts to help you if you have crackley audio - nothing on it helps!
    aaaaaaah, so annoyed!
    please help someone!
    Luke

    Good news ladies and gents, i've had some success.
    I tried reinstalling directX, but this didn't solve the issue.
    However, i then entered the DirectX diagnostic utility just to check everything.
    (if you go to Start->Run or press Win-R on your keyboard, and then type dxdiag it'll come up)
    I noticed that under the sound tab, the acceleration level slider was set to 'None'. (IMPORTANT: this is a different control to the one found in windows audio settings) Having wacked the slider up to 'Full' and run the 'test Direct Sound' app and closed everything itunes plays without glitches.
    I still however get large cpu spikes. Ii've got a reasonably fast computer so i shouldn't really. Get it sorted apple!

  • X131e how to remove the audio equalizing feature on lenovo's preloaded windows 8

    Hi everyone!
    I recently purchased a lenovo thinkpad x131e and after using it for a few weeks, i've realised that the audio is being equalized across all programs to maintain a level volume.
    Usually I would be able to access the enhancement tab on the properties page for my audio device and disable this feature, however the enhancement page has been stripped of most of its options, and only has "Disable all sound effects" instead.
    Is there a way I can restore the available options so that I can disable this feature?
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I see 'Dolby Advanced Audio' in the Control Panel and it has the option to enable/disable the Volume Leveler.

  • How To Remove Old Audio Fuzz

    I have old Beta tape footage transfered onto mini-DVs and then imported into FCP HD. For some of the clips there is the (inevitable) fuzz at the bottom of the screen and in the audio. It's the paper crackling annoying kind of mess on the audio that i'm trying to get rid of.
    I was wondering what filter should I use to fix the bad audio or is there a better way to go about cleaning it?
    Thanks for any suggestions!
