Multicam Cuts Create Audio Pops / Issues

When working with the multicam feature I can hear audio pops / cracks at the point of the cut.
If I place a cross dissolve at the cut is resovles the audio issue.
However if I don't want a transition at the cut I can hear a pop / crack in the audio. How can this be corrected? Is this a glitch within FCPX?
Any suggestions or solutions?

I'm having the exact same issue. Multicam edit, with Zoom audio as main audio/sync track. Although I choose the audio track as the primary on the multicam, and switch to video only to cut between cameras my audio track is also being cut. This cut creates the "pop" in the timeline. No matter what I do I continue to get this result. I would assume that the audio track would not be "cut" with simple camera switching....(no changes to timing of the video). Have you solved this issue?

10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers

For people with internal speakers, or those without subwoofers: Please read all the way to the bottom to find a test that will determine whether you are also having audio problems, even if you can't hear pops.
We've had a lot of discussion about audio popping due to 10.4.10, and the evidence indicates that the audio circuitry is going to sleep to conserve power, even on AC-only computers like the iMac, Mac Mini, and (at least one) Mac Pro. Some people claim to not have this problem, but I'm wondering if they just aren't noticing it.
Having external speakers with a subwoofer, set to high amplification, are key to obvious detection of the problem. Let the sound subsystem go idle for 30+ seconds (wait a minute with no audio, just to be safe), turn up your external speakers really loud, and cause the computer to make a sound. You should hear a burst before the sound plays. If you repeat the sound, you won't hear the burst. This is the sound of the audio circuitry powering on, and the speakers are amplifying it.
About 30 seconds after the sound finishes playing, if you leave the volume of your speakers turned way up, you should hear a "pop" as the circuitry is powered off. Then, playing another sound will recreate the burst.
I haven't been able to hear these sounds with internal speakers, either on the Mini or iMac. But the problem still exists, and it is detectable... if you know what you are looking for.
The burst of the audio circuitry turning on also causes a delay in the audio. The delay is a noticeable fraction of a second, an it can easily be detected if you have a repeatable source of sound. I like Terminal.app, because I use that application all day, every day. Here is how you can check to see if you are also subject to the audio problems:
1. Start Terminal.app (in the /Applications/Utilities directory).
2. Wait one minute for the audio circuitry to shut down.
3. Without typing anything else, very quickly strike and release the Backspace key.
4. If you pressed the key all the way, the program should have caused a beep. However, if the audio circuitry goes to sleep, the beep should occur after you have moved your hand off the key. This is because the circuitry takes time to power itself on before playing the sound.
5. Now, quickly strike the Backspace key again. You should notice that the sound is produced immediately as you hit the key, without the delay you just witnessed.
6. Strike the Backspace key repeatedly, to confirm that there is no audio delay. Do this about once every second or two. If you press the key too rapidly, not all of the presses will produce sounds... this behavior is not related to the issue we are testing.
7. Wait another minute for the audio circuitry to shut down, and strike the Backspace key once more. You should again observe a delay between your strike and the sound production.
If you witness delays like this, your audio circuitry is also going to sleep, and you are having the same audio problems as the rest of us. However, either because you are using internal speakers, or because your external speakers don't have the appropriate response, you aren't hearing the same bursts and pops as the rest of us.
Please try this test, and report here. I want to build a list of people who previously couldn't hear the sounds, but still have the delay. This might give us a better picture of the scope of the problem.

Re: 10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers
Your analysis of what is happening is right on.
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:

There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on your laptops.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".

When you sent your Macbook for service, did Apple fix the audio pop issue?

I'm experiencing the intermittent audio "pop" problem in my Santa Rose Macbook running 10.5.1. (There are numerous posts on this topic in this forum and elsewhere.)
I'm wondering if this can remedied by a a trip to the Apple repair shop.
For those who have experienced this problem, and who have sent their Macbooks back for repair -- was Apple able to solve the issue? Or is it unlikely to be remedied hardware, and instead be patched with a firmware fix via software update?

Importing AVI files into Final cut creates a pop

How can I stop getting a popping sound when I import AVI files into Final Cut. I figured it must be the type of file itself but I cant seem to find a free converter to convert my AVIs into what ever is need (which is what? .mov files?)
Please help

The very basics of non-linear editing is to know what video and audio codecs your particular NLE works with natively. FCP works with many video codecs but only a few audio codecs. Typically it works best with AIFF at 48khz, 16 bit.
You can find out all the various native codecs and formats in the User's Manual, Help Files or by looking through the Easy Setup list.
FWIW, both AVI and MOV are not really codecs at all; they are both merely containers that could contain video and audio made from any number of codecs. So saying you have an AVI file or a MOV file is kind of like saying you have a car ... it doesn't really tell anyone much at all.
Both QuickTime Pro and Compressor (which you most likely already have installed) should be able to convert to a native codec for use in FCP.

Final Cut 7 audio sync issue with external audio

Ok, I've seached around a lot and still haven't found the solution for this common issue, which is sync between video and audio wich were recorded in two different devices.
My video is from a conference (a lady speaking all the time) ProRess 29.97 and my audio is wav recorded at 44.1 Khz. I have already converted my external audio to a fine AIFF 48 Khz, and I have already re-imported it with the correct 29.97 easy setup, as it shows on this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt-nfelM8KA. That helped a lot but audio still goes out on sync when playback goes further (not that much, but it shows).
On Premiere Pro, that wav file a correctly in sync, and I have had this issue before with FCP and now it has come back! help!
Anyone found a real solution for this issue?

Why not just use Premier? FCP is going to slowly die out anyways....
Anyhow, a work around... using the speed change tool (sss) adjust the audio to be the same length of the video so it is in sync... Press command-J, make note of the percentage you sped up your audio. Now open your audio in STP, select all of your audio go to Process>Timestretch and adjust the audio and apply the same percentage.
Listen to your audio. STP's time stretch is excellent because it adjusts the speed without changing the pitch.
Save as, re-import your audio.

Replace video with a still - transitions create audio sync issue

Trying to insert stills in a video and have the audio continue over. Have been successful up to adding transitions between the still and the existing video. When I add a cross-dissolve on both sides of the still - the audio becomes out of sync with the video on the back end. I've been able to add the transition to the front side of the still without corrupting the audio and video sync - only when I add to the end of it do I get the problem. Help me... Thanks.

You're welcome.
I'm glad I could help.

Distracting audio popping in T61, and no idea why!

Hey,
My laptop had been giving me trouble, so I recently did a restore to factory settings and started from scratch. Now, everything works pretty much perfectly, except the small audio popping issues I had before seem way, way worse now. I used a DPC latency checker and found out that mine is hovering around 3300 or so, with frequent spikes to 78000 (the popping is extremely noticable then), which from all my research is way too high.
Is there any easy fix for this?

Audio pops/clicks when changing angles in multicam clips

I am having problems with audio pops/clicks when working with angle switching in multicam clips. it always occurs when i utilize any of the "audio enhancements" features, such as the loudness or background noise removal features. Switching angles results in audible audio pops. The only way to get rid of them is to disable the audio enhancements. This occurs regardless of the audio source. Is this a known bug that is being addressed? I rely heavily on the audio editing features in my work and am hoping this will be resolved in an update soon. Thanks for any help-

Hi Brad, thanks for the reply!
That sounds like a good workaround. What I have been doing in the meantime is create a new compound clip after I finish all of my cuts, and then apply the audio edits to the new contiguous audio clip in the compound clip.
What is really strange and frustrating is that all of my new audio bugginess really began when I could no longer detach audio from my multicam clips in 10.0.9... After doing many searches here, it seems that in this most recent update of FCPX this is no longer a 'feature'... I don't know why they changed this, but in older updates of FCPX you could detach audio from original clips, compound clips, or multicam clips with no problems. I would routinely create and edit all of the angle cuts in my multicam clips in the timeline, and then if I wanted to, be able to detach the audio and do more edits if needed. Thankfully I can still apply edits to compound audio clips, but it would sure be nice if I could just correct/enhance audio without ugly-sounding artifacts in multicam edits. Thanks again-

Libby,
Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

I can't create audio CD in itunes 10.3

I "upgraded" to iTunes 10.0.0.68 a while back. When I did this the various options for creating an audio CD vanished. I've scoured many apple forums & found lots of people have this issue. The feedback they get is generally insinuating that they are stupid because they can't see the "burn" button on the "advanced" tab under "edit>preferences>advanced" or they are not clicking the playlist or some other thing.
So what I'm saying is that none of the places I have searched offered an explanation. Eventually I decided to "upgrade" to 10.3.1.55 because most of the suggestions recommended that as a last resort. There is still no option to burn an audio CD or an mp3 CD anywhere in iTunes for Windows.
I'm running XP, I have two different burners that work with every single program I have, except iTunes. And it's really not that they don't work with iTunes, because iTunes would need to have a "burn" option somewhere in the program for them to not work with iTunes. And it does not. The only thing I can do is create a backup of my iTunes library. That is not what I need to do.
Does anyone know if iTunes is still capable of creating audio CDs? If so, please, please tell me your secrets! Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Okay, I may have answered my own question. When I have iTunes up, & I insert a blank disc I get a pop-up that tells me I've inserted a blank disc, if I want to burn to it, go to file>burn bla bla bla and sure enough, now the option shows up. Hmmm...
So here's what I did: I removed the disc & restarted iTunes to see if the option would go away. It did not. Even with no disc in the drive I now have the option "burn playlist to disc" under the "file" menu. It was not there 20 minutes ago, and has not been there ever with 10.0.0.68. I cannot say whether I ever inserted a blank disc while 10.0.0.68 was up or not, but I do know that I burned lots of stuff with other programs. My next experiment will be to completely reboot the computer, then start iTunes & see if the option is still there.
I'll let you know how that turns out. :-)
Here is my suggestion to anyone having the same issue: just pull up iTunes, then stick a blank disc into your drive & see what happens. I'm betting your issue will be resolved.

The Official "Audio Popping" Thread

Alright, once again the thread about the audio output issues has been flooded down and forgotten. So I'm starting this, anyone with this issue should post in here.
For anyone who doesn't know what this is, it is regarding the constant popping noises when external speakers or headphones are plugged in, as well as the slight delay when emitting sounds at times (eg. I receive a message on messenger, and I hear the sound a second or two after).
This issue was fixed for older MacBook generations and is starting to get ridiculous here. I've got 5.1 Surround speakers hooked up to my MacBook and this popping is getting to be EXTREMELY annoying.
How this hasn't been fixed yet is beyond me...
I'll be bumping this thread daily, should nobody reply.

I'll be bumping this thread daily, should nobody reply.
The Apple Discussions is for specific technical questions about a problem you're having with your Apple hardware or software. From your original post, no one here is going to be able to help you. You haven't told us which MacBook you have, you haven't told us which version of Mac OS X you're using (are you really still on 10.5.0?), you haven't told us what you've already done to try to troubleshoot the problem... You can't just start a topic as if it were a "poll" (which is exactly what yours is), they're specifically forbidden here. So, I would recommend you start a new topic, asking a question about the functionality of your Mac including the specifics of your hardware and software so someone might be able to create an informed reply to. If you're in such a hurry that you have to bump it every day, why haven't you taken your MacBook in to an Apple retail store for a visit to the Mac Genius or another AASP or just called AppleCare Support?

Sound cutting out/crackling/pops in Windows 7 XFi XtremeGamer

In dual channel mode
BFG 285-GTX w/ 96.2 drivers

With this setup I am unable to use CMSS 3D without the audio cutting out completely. Before it does so it's usually followed with numerous cracks and po
ps.
Disabling CMSS 3D alleviates this problem, however I occasionally get a slight pops and crackles when playing games or listening to music.
While playing Mass Effect 2 the sound will completely cut out in the same manner it does when I have CMSS 3D enabled, despite the option being turned off in the console launcher.
At first I tried a clean install of the drivers, removing drivers, using driver cleaner pro, registry cleaner and then reinstalling them. Did not fix the issue. I then did the same for the chipset drivers and my video card drivers.
I thought it may have been a problem with OpenAL (for mass effect 2) so I reinstalled that. Same problem.
I tried using PAX's driver's, same problem.
I've used DPC Latency Checker V.2.0 and according to it my machine should be able to handle real-time streaming audio with no dropouts.
I'm at a loss at what else to do and any further help would be appreciated.

Just an update on my problem.
I was able to resolve the sound cutting out issue and the cracks/pops issue within windows by disabling CMSS3D + setting my sample rate to 24 bit, 96k Hz.. Using 92k Hz results in the cracks and pops coming back, although they are few and far between.
Unfortunately this did not resolve my issue with the sound/audio cutting out in mass effect 2. I tried the onboard sound and that also cuts out, so I've determined it's not a hardware issue but rather a bug of some sort within the game. There are also other sparse reports of people having the same issue.
Thanks

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.

Audio pops in menu audio

The song Im using for my main menu sounds horribble. It pops when it begins or ends. Why is this and how do I fix it?

Well for starters make sure that the audio file is 16 bit 48Khz. If it's not, you're going to have playback issues such as you've described. DVDs need the 48Khz audio while regular audio such as CDs come with 16 bit 44.1 Khz audio.
If need be, you can upsample your existing file using iTunes. If your file is an .mp3 you can still use iTunes to change it before importing into DVDP.
Another reason for your "popping issues" might be because you haven't faded the beginning or the end of the audio clip. You can quickly do that in Final Cut Pro or Soundtrack Pro.
Hopefully one of the suggestions above works for you.
