Intermittent clicking when recording guitar - not metronome

I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and GB 09.  When I record my electric guitar, I'm hearing occasional clicking sounds which are also heard on the recording.  Not the metronome.  It's off.  I've lowered the input gain both in preferences and the EMU 404 to see if that helped but it didn't.  I have their latest drivers installed.  The EMU 404 is an old input device and is no longer supported.  I'm willing to buy a more modern input device if that's necessary.  I'm hoping someone knows a solution.  I've tried different guitars and guitar cable, that didn't help either. 

Thanks HangTime. Since Creative Technologies has indicated they no longer support the EMU 0404 and nobody is fixing the drivers, I looked at the link you sent.  I do have a question.  It looks like lots of people like the Tascam US-100.  Attractive, since no drivers are involved and simplicity.  That device will certainly take care of my guitar and mic needs.  However, it won't take my midi keyboard device.  Can combine a standard midi imput device along with the US-100 or do I need to buy a recording interface that has midi and audio capabilities in a single unit?

  • No lead-in clicks when recording

    I have a song that I'm trying to add a guitar to. I go to the start of the song and and start recording (* key). I don't hear any lean-in clicks. This used to work. I'm using LE8 on Tiger. Is there a setting to enable/disable this?
    Thanks.

    Project Settings -> Metronome to set 'Click when recording - only during count in' and Project Settings -> Recording to specify number of bars. You can also control-click on the record button, and select recording settings to get to the project settings.
    Or press option *

  • Correct Settings for Latency When Recording Guitar Direct...with Duet?

    Could anyone tell me what the idea setup is for the lowest latency when recording guitar parts through an amp plug in when using Logic with a Duet? And also for just recording live acoustic (with no plug in, maybe a bit of echo)?
    Thanks

    My question was dead serious: Why don't you try out different latency settings and observe? Nobody can tell you what your hardware will behave like, how you're monitoring and how much latency will make you happy.
    Your attitude is not exactly helping.
    Cheers,
    Jazz
    Sorry, but leaving a one line post that says basically "Try it and find out" is probably not what most would feel was a helpful reply.
    And on the contrary, a lot of people use the Duet, use Logic, and are guitarists, so sharing what they've found successful is a reasonable expectation, I think.

  • LOGIC PRO - problem when recording guitar

    Hi,
    So I am having the following problem as I plug in my guitar in the interface (yamaha) and then into logic pro. I manage to record in the AUDIO track for some time, about a minute or so, and then I always hear a strange scratching sound and the guitar suddenly stops recording. I have tried it over and over and it always happens. I thought it was because the PHANTOM button on the interface was on, but even when I turn it off it still happens.
    does anybody know what I am talking about and what is the solution to this problem?
    thank you.

    these things didn't work. I think that the problem also has to do with the interface on my guitar (not sure it's called that way. What I mean by it is the electronic little box ON THE GUITAR that works as a tuner and needs to be turned on when you are connected to a speaker), because that's what turns off as I am recording. so I am wondering, is there a way to record the guitar without having that little box thing turned on, by any chance?   the yamaha is a AUDIOGRAM3
    thanks!

  • Minimising Key Clicks When Recording

    When I record the audio for a slide
    I click on the red record button, and this brings up a window.
    Next I press the  record.
    I make the recording and then click on stop
    Then I click on Save
    The a window pops up to ask "Do you want to extend the display time to n seconds to match the new audio?" - I always click on Yes
    Then I have to click on the Close button to close the recording window.
    Is there anyway to stop Captivate asking me if I want to extend the time (step 5) and just have that happen automatically and also have the window close on save without me having to close it, (step 6)
    When you are doing a large number of short slides these extra key depressions are tedious.

    Accepted.
    No I have never tried recording several slides. Everything I am teaching is one step at a time per slide. The audio per slide works well and requires little post editing.   The sound quality via the slide recorder is not great so I post-process each slide audio in Audition.    I used to do the audios in Audition the way you mention and then import them to each slide but that was too slow. 
    Now I export all the audios in one go, then click one key to run a batch job on them in Audition to improve the audio and then in one operation automatically re-attach them to the original slides.    It's very streamlined apart from the extra key clicks that spoil it (and are the subject of my original post here). They prevent it becoming  super-fast.

  • How to show mouse clicks when recording screen with quicktime?

    How can i show the mouse click when i record the screen using quicktime player?

    Why? What program feature do you intend to offer, by knowing what a user clicks on (besides the application itself).Hi, well what I have to do is to start the application minimized in the system tray. Then the application must be listening for crtl+shift+left click in any part of the desktop or an opened application, when that happens, I have to show a window asking if the user want to take a screenshot starting in the x,y point he clicked, once done, I have to take an screenshot...so on.
    How can I do that? Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks in advance.

  • How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

    How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo  and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no  effects is going thru?

    Hi Life93,
    What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)
    See this thread on how to remove the audio from a clip in iMovie -

  • Audigy 2 ZS clicks when record

    Hello everyone.
    I could use a little help. A while ago, I built a system, and included the Audigy 2 ZS. I only have just gotten around to trying to record with it, up until now it has all been play back.
    So once I got everything working satisfactory, I noticed a clicking and/or popping sound present only in the recorded sound. Trying to fix this, I updated my drivers, and maximised my audio buffer. Now the clicking has improved, about 50%, but it is still there.
    I did read the FAQ about the distortion in play back, but I assumed that because this is recording and not play back, that maybe the solution would be different. All apologies if I was wrong.
    I'm using Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 to do my recording.
    Can anyone offer any help? Thank you.

    *Bump*
    Can anyone offer any assistance? Would pre-amping help at all? Is it just the chipset, or is there something I can do about this?

  • I'm using motu 896mk3 to record my drums. any tips to not make them sound like i'm in a cave. also sounds this way when recording guitar tracks. the overall sound is "bassy". thought maybe a setting or something else to brighten up the mix?

    You may disregard the Focusrite adverts and concentrate on what they say about microphone placement and room treatment in particular.
    Have a nice day!

  • Line IN clicking when recording?!

    Hi there,
    I went to record some guitar playing today to find that my Mac has a clicking sound it records when anything is plugged in to it, I tried different devices and cables, and the clicking persists. It's not static (or doesnt sound like normal static), nor is it the metronome recording itself as I have used several programs to record with.
    Is it a hardware issue with my Mac? pleeease help :'(
    Thanks

    BRILLIANT support guys, thanks. [/sarcasm]

  • HT1338 why does my mac keep right clicking when i am not trying to right click?

    New mac is only 2 months old.
    I will be happily typing along and click on something and then it keeps popping up with drop downs as if i right clicked!
    I must be doing something wrong?

    Check System Preferences Mouse pane (or Trackpad pane).  For the Mouse pane, make sure the Primary mouse button is set for the one on the left.
    The Control key toggles the "right-click" with the primary button, when the Control key is pressed down while clicking the primary mouse button (or on a Magic Trackpad).  So make sure you are not pressing the Control key inadvertently.
    Also, if you are using a Magic Trackpad (separate or on a MacBook), the botton portion (along the edge closest to you) is sensitive to clicking on the right side versus left side.  The rest of the trackpad is not.  So, if you are clicking near that edge closest to you, a click on the right side will be a right-click.  It is designed this way, because some people use their thumb along that edge to click (not their "pointing" finger); on old-school trackpads, physical buttons were located there.  So, you can still point with the index finger and click with the thumb on the right or left "button."  You should be able to adjust this behavior in System Preferences Trackpad pane.

  • Mysterious clicks when recording audio.

    Just the odd click and pop that should not be there. What are the possible causes? I have the highest spec iMac I could get (January 2013) so I'm suprised this is happening.

    Recording delay should be set to zero unless you're done the loopback test and it's required to get the timing correct. Record Delay is to compensate for audio drivers that don't correctly report timing/location information to that system. However, that should cause the clicks you're experiencing.
    Would you try the I/O buffer at 64 or 128 and see if it changes the click situation, I know you said it was set to 1024 but that's not a good test.
    Are you using any other digital equipment with the M/Box, s/pdif...etc
    My only comment regarding Avid is they make pretty bad core audio drivers, you can never run them reliably with the same settings you would use on drivers from MOTU or RME. That said, don't seem like you should be getting noise with a new system, so... no, I'm sure it's not the processor struggling. 

  • My Mac keeps thinking I'm clicking when I'm not

    I have had my macbook air now for almost 2 years and never had a problem with it until now. When I'm trying to use my macbook to search the internet it keeps highlighting text as if I've held down the left mouse button. Now this is even more unusual bearing in mind in the trackpad settings the tap to click option is turned off as I prefer to use the button at the bottom of the pad.
    Originally I thought that it maybe a faulty trackpad so I have got a USB mouse to plug in, however this is still happening even though my hands are now nowehere near the trackpad.
    The only thing I can think of is that I installed mavericks when it first came out. Could it be an issue with this?
    Please help!

    There could be lithium battery swelling pressing against the trackpad, do you notice any swelling.
    Or more specifically do you notice the trackpad is slightly hard to click?
    Reset SMC and re-verify
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    If still the same contact Apple for an appt. for diagnostic (free) and possible repair (if needed)

  • My built in clicker for my macbook, the main button below the trackpad, is broken.  It will randomly and inconveniently click when I do not want it too.  I need a way to simply disable it all together and just use the click function on the trackpad.

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Your click function on the trackpad itself would be set in
    System Prefs:Trackpad.
    As for the manual clicker below, you might wish to clear
    anything that's fallen in by using the edge of a sheet of
    paper around the border that you can reach.
