I got pops and clicks all over my audio that weren't on the original video.

Is there a simple way to get rid of these pops. I've already extracted audio to Audacity and tried their click removal filter but their still there and the track sounds worse so of course I undid that. Any other suggestions besides going and finding each and every pop and deleting it. This is a 1hr 20min vid.
Help please.

Hi R
My guess is that You've used the LP-setting (90 min to a 60 min tape) on Your Camera.
This gives these problems:
• Drop-outs
• Audio stutterings
• Audio eventually goes out of sync.
To prevent this in futhure
• USE ONLY SP-mode (60 min to a 60 min tape)
• If You need more. Use a 90 min tape.
To the running project:
• You'll have to re-import all material - but - now set in iMovie pref
"Import as individual Clips" to OFF. Yes You'll get a lot of work to cut it up
but this or Copying the material to another Camera/tape station set to SP-mode.
(If the latter works - I don't know - may be not)
• Now in iMovie immediately:
move all clips down in TimeLine
select all clips
GOTO Advance menu and down to Extract Audio.
Now play and it could work. Tested once and I got an usable material.
BTW: When adjusting the Camera. Set Audio to 16-bit (12-bit also gives sync. probl.)

Uptated to iOS 5 on my ipad2 and now all of my apps that weren't preinstalled on the iPad crash immediately after opening. I already tried restarting the ipad and that didn't work. I really don't want to have to do this with 100+ apps. Or sit through a complete restore...

Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

Just to rule out any hardware issue, might be a good idea to run the Apple Hardware Test.

Thanks for responding....but isn't your potential solution designed for Windows users? I have a Mac.
If it does apply to Mac, I am also hoping for something simpler as this could take weeks to isolate the problem and it would be more efficient to use another browser for mail
Also, I should have added, this problem occurs only occasionally and seemingly only when I am taking some time to compose a message

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.

Pops and clicks in audio from dock output

When listening to my 8GB Nano via the headphone jack, the sound is perfect and free of problems. But when I connect to a dock device such as a Bose Sounddock or Tivoli iSongbook (both of which use the audio pass-through of the dock) I hear periodic pops and clicks, almost like a bad FM radio. The noises are random and not repeatable - sometimes several minutes will pass without any noises and then there will be 3 of them in a brief period. They are more noticeable on quieter material, not surprisingly.
The exact same music files played on my old 3G iPod (15GB) through the same dock devices exhibit no unwanted noises at all.
The only functional difference between these 2 iPods is that the old one will charge in the docks (it is the old Firewire-charging flavor) while of course the new Nano chromatic will not as it supports only USB charging. I understand this, but don't see why that should affect the audio.
Anyone else notice this? Should I drop by my local Apple Store to see what they say??

That's odd to be sure. What you should have seen if you clicked the link to the Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form is that a web page opens that allows you to choose whether you are reporting a bug or asking for a feature. I don't belive you receive any E-Mail message notification. This makes me wonder exactly what link you clicked.

No audio, just pops and clicks with QT 7.2 pro

I'm posing this question having read every sound related post on this forum. Forgive me in advance if this has been covered and I've missed the answer somehow!
Since the upgrade, all I hear is pops and clicks, no other audio on my nearfield monitors or headphones through my MOTU 896HD interface. QT MPEG-1 Files play fine, itunes works great, Digital Performer files sound wonderful, wmv files sound good. I just can't get sound from any other QT source!! Can't hear anything from QT website (xcpt click's and pops). If I turn off my interface, I can hear the audio through my G5 PPC tower, but not through the speakers. Before the upgrade everything was fine. So QT Kirk, Ricktoronto, Baby Boomer, you guys are very smart and have helped many. Please add me to your legion of fans!
Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks for the link. Of course I've been to this site on many occassions but this time I started a discussion thread about this problem.I don't get a lot of support thru MOTU but I'm a little desparate. Also when I went back to audio-midi I noticed under Audio devices... System settings :
Default input: Motu 896HD (other option: Built-in audio),
Default Output :MOTU 896HD,
System Output: Motu 896HD ( both with same other option as input),
Properties For: MOTU 896HD.
Here's the kicker, when I change "Properties For" to Built-in Audio my choices for format change back to 8ch-16 bit. But I still can't hear the audio from QT!
Argh!!!
I hope I'm not boring everyone to tears with my tales of woe but I DO appreciate the input, Thanks QT Kirk!

Pops and Clicks and Delays with X-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum in Windows 7 32bit

Hi, I own an x-fi fatalty platinum sound card and I have installed the beta driver for Windows 7 32bit.
When doing things in the OS, i get occasional pops and clicks. I know exactly what it comes from, it happens when there are multiple sounds being played simultaneously. If I join a ventrilo server, the little intro sound it makes pops and clicks. If I hold down my talk key, sometimes it will pop and then play the little talk sound, sometimes it won't play the sound at all... and the same is true when I let go of my talk key.
Virtually everything I do in the OS has this weird pop and click sound associated with it. Playing music, however, doesn't have that problem because an MP3 is a continous stream of audio and counts as a single sound. It's when there are multiple sounds overlapping does it pop/click or fail to produce the sound at all or in its entirety. It's like the x-fi is delayed and isn't able to play the sound fast enough which therefore produces a pop and clicking sound at the beginning of sounds. This is why I purchased an x-fi sound card becaus it eliminated this problem from my onboard sound. Now it's BACK in Windows 7.
Also, when I play UT2004, by default there's an option called "Use System Driver" checked in the sound options. This makes everything in the game have a slight 0.25 second delay, but it's enough to make it noticeable and annoy me. If I disable "Use System Driver", it fixes the delay but the pops and clicks come back!? I can't win one way or the other.
Windows XP does not have this problem. I have tried both the stable x-fi driver and the beta driver. I have tried updating my OpenAL software. I'm not sure what to do beyond reinstall Windows 7 and try again... which I really do not look forward to doing.
If anyone could assist me, or take note of this issue so it could be fixed in later drivers, it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
-Neil

Hello?

Final Cut X - pops and clicks on export

I am using Final Cut X on a Mac 10.8.5 -- and using Compressor with custom Vimeo settings to output a 30 minute film with 48k soundtrack.
I can not get a clean final file -- it has random loud crackles, pops and clicks. I have turned all other programs off when rendering, and also tried rendering the sound track separately in the hope that then I could reassemble the parts after compressor. That worked when the soundtrack was rendered as AAC, but as AIFF it didn't work, worse cracks and pops. Thoughts? I am going crazy trying to get a clean version of this film! Thanks.

Its a simple project , all the file are in my desktop , not using hard drives.
Its abou 55 seconds at 24fps, 1920x1280.
thanks agaain

Pops and clicks with Logic

First off i am relatively new with Logic Pro and i believe that this may be a set up issue of my own fault and not a problem with logic. Also i am running on a brand new Mac Pro with 2 gig ram, the 2.6 processor, and 2 harddrives, a 250 gb for OS, Logic, itunes music, and "my stuff", and 500 gb for audio only. I am running on a brand new PreSonus Firestudio as well. Anyway when i record i get pops and clicks that sound like small explosions in my monitors. I have switched every cable that could possibly be switched and ruled that out. Also i have posted a similar message on presonus.com to see if it is firestudio related, but just incase anyone here has heard of problems like this let me know. I think it might be buffer size related or something like that. Like i said I am relatively new and any help would be great.
PS sometimes it pops when im not recording ex: listening to itunes.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

When running logic it's recommended to shut off things like your airport connection (if you have one), and shut down all other apps. You want to provide as much bandwidth for system audio as possible.
I even go so far as to disable spotlight indexing (check out spotless if you want an easy way to do it) to make sure as little unwanted disk activity is occuring as possible. Dashboard widgets can also be a pain. Disable dashboard too while you're at it.
I have a similar setup, mind you with a different audio interface, and I can run the system reliably down to the lowest buffer size of 32 samples.
That being said, there are a few other questions you will want to ask yourself. Are the clicks and pops in the recorded audio? And are they consistently at the exact same places in the file on playback? Check them individually in the sample editor. Because then you may very well have a different problem altogether.
Also don't hesitate to see what kind of information PreSonus can give you. If the item is brand new then don't hesitate to call on them for help, all other things being equal.
When you use virtual instruments, do the same pops an clicks appear?
Did you use the latest drivers? Are you fully up to date with all your updates, including the Universal Binary update for logic? (I know it probably sounds repetitive but it's worth a shot right?)
I could go on and on but fish around and see what you can find. Then come back. Someone will be here.

Popping and clicking in audio - PE7

When I use a Canon XL1 (the first generation of the XL series) and capture the video into PE7 via firewire there is all kinds of pops & clicks in the audio. I have tried it on different computers and still get the same thing. It doesn't matter if I use the same camera to play back the recorded tape, or from a stand-alone DV deck, or even a different camera- it's still there. It even happens if I record live video right into PE7 with this Canon camera.
You can hear a sample of what it sounds like if you watch my video at this link. This is a pretty good example of what it sounds like.
It normally doesn't happen right away on the timeline. It sometimes fades in and out too. Someone told me that maybe the audio setting in PE7 might be defaulting to 48,000 and the setting on my firewire card in the computer might be defaulting to 44,100 (or visa-versa)? I couldn't find anyway to change that on my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The audio is fine when I connect the camera up to monitor. It isn't the lav mic that I was using as I have used that lav mic a dozedn times before and since then. The only time it happens is when I capture video from that camera via firewire into PE7. The lav mic is a Sony 55 head which has a balanced XLR cable plugged directly into the Canon; no adaptors inline which would take the audio signal down to unbalanced. Like I said, there no problems with the mic as use that mic all of the time. Plus, it'll do the same thing even if I use the on board camera mic, and capture that audio via firewire.
If you listen right when the woman starts speaking on the video you can CLEARLY hear the popping and clicking in the audio. Like I said in the earlier post, it comes and goes, which is why you don't hear it throughout the entire video. The way I have gotten around the problem is by running the audio/video through an analog to digital (firewire) convertor and then record it into PE7. No problems in the audio then because I am polaying it back analog. That is one step I would like to bypass as it degrades the video and audio signal.
I believe it might be a hardware/software setting someplace in PE7. Something isn't syncing up.

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!

Annoying popping and clicking with Realtek devices/drivers

anybody out there with an HP pavilion notebook with the realtek audio hardware and software? I just bought this system on Aug 21 2008 and have uninstalled and reinstalled the most up-to-date drivers, etc and sporadically yet continuously get popping and clicking sounds whenever i play movies or music files in itunes or quicktime. i'm using Windows Vista Home Premium OS and ensured everything is up-to-date with Microsoft products and no luck. Very frustrated!!

I just updated to 8.0.2.20 and now everything I plays skips and sounds like an old scratched LP record (remember those???).
This is not related to equalizer settings or hardware settings or anything else... you have people who have been using iTunes just fine until version 8 then all of a sudden massive problems... there are dozens and dozens of posts about this problem now. It has nothing to do with any settings, as people have been fine with prior versions, the common thread is that they've all upgraded to version 8.
And you shouldn't have to stop using equalization or change anything you had before either.
This is a BUG in VERSION 8. It seems that this version is full of bugs from what I have read across the internet-- has Apple started finally releasing crappy software? (It is inevitable). Maybe this is from outsourcing all the coding to countries where English is not the native language-- who knows.
In any event, before I updated (from an earlier version of 8) I noticed Itunes stopped playing any sound at all. After I updated it gave me the error message telling me I had to delete/re-install quicktime. I did and now the clicking and popping. I re-installed/repaired directly from the website. Still nothing.
My music plays perfectly from any other application. This is an iTunes BUG in VERSION 8.
Also, as others have noticed new oddities in the way itunes behaves in version 8. Some have tremendous CPU usage or problems with internet. My hard drive rattles and buzzes whenever I start iTunes!!!! That scares the h*ll out of me! No other app does this and I can load all my music with any other app just fine-- no buzzing of the hard drive.
I'm running a new machine with max'd RAM, 2 TB of drives hooked into a Windows Home Server with 9TB of music and video. I'll try rebuilding the library... but darn it how come no other problems with any other app? Media Monkey plays everything fine, for exmaple. Gotta be iTunes.

(Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to turn to normal is to close the window and start all over again?

(Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the on/off switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to return to normal is to close the window and start all over again?

Does the screen go black while you are using the machine? ...or after it has sat idle for a bit?
If it happens while you're using the machine, check to see if a hot corner has been set for sleep. You can do that here: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and click the button labelled "Hot Corners..." in the lower right.
If it happens after a bit of idle time, that's normal sleep behavior. The delay can be adjusyed here: System Preferences > Energy Saver.
In either case, pressing any key on the keyboard should bring it out of sleep.
Re zooming -
If this happens while in Safari, and you are using an Apple Magic Mouse, a default setting applicable to it is that a soft double-tap on the mouse will zoom the Safari window. A second double-tap will bring it back.
If it is the entire screen that is zooming, Control plus scroll gesture on the mouse will zoom the whole screen. Repeat with the opposite scroll gesture to bring it back.

LINES AND DOTS ALL OVER THE SCREEN!! ... AGAIN!

howdo,
I recently got a new 20" intel mac, after less than 24hrs the display has all kinds of weird lines and dots all over it, it kept flickering. Funny thing was that if the machine was then turned off, after about 20mins everythin went back to normal. This happened a few times and after a couple of call to Apple the machine went back, they replaced it with a nice new one ... problem solved??
Not quite!!
The second machine has been fine, after almost a month with no problems the dreaded lines/dots and flicker have reared up. I thought maybe it was something external causing interference, so removed my sound sticks and all other electrical stuff like lamps etc but it is still happenin intermittantly.
Anyone got any ideas?? or am I gone end up throwin the thing out of my window???

Ok
The only peripherals were Harmon kardon soundsticks, these have been removed, and a canon printer. The printer seem to be fine. Other electrical stuff in the room includes:- 2 READING LAMPS/ AN IBOOK G4/ POWERBOOK G4/ AN ADVENT LAPTOP/ ANOTHER CANON PRINTER.
I cant understand how these would affect the screen but its gotta be something like eh.
The only software that has been added is IWORK 06/ MICROSOFT OFFICE MAC/ MACSWORD.
The problem usually happens when the mac is left asleep rather than closed down or if it is left on without being used????
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I got pops and clicks all over my audio that weren't on the original video.
