Removing clicks and pops from music store music

I tried to burn a CD for my car of songs I got from the music store but the CD had all sorts of pops and clicks. I tried to fix them in STP, but it is taking forever. Two questions, first will STP eventually fix the problem, and second, am I not supposed to burn these songs that I purchased to CDs?

The clicks and pops may be caused by iTunes "Sound Check" function ... this has been known to cause distortion ... to test if this is the cause turn off "Sound Check" by going to the menu, iTunes:Preferences...: then click on the "Playback" icon to bring up the Playback options pane ... if "Sound Check" is checked, uncheck it ... then try burning your CD again ... if "Sound Check" is the culprit your CD should playback OK ..

Removing clicks and pops

I see the manual makes reference to the program being able to remove clicks and pops in audio but I can't for the life of me find this option in any filters that came with the program.
Can anyone tell me where to find this filter?
Many thanks.
Steve

drag the file onto your icon form your dock. soundtrack will open up, i think it might be in the actions tab on the left. try this out.

Analysis not working.. Clicks and Pops, etc.

I'm trying to remove clicks and pops, clipped signals and power line hum from an audio track (registered using an iPod mic in a big room so it's full of noises) with the latest Soundtrack Pro 2-
I did a Noise Reduction then applied the following Analysis: Clicks and Pops, Power Line Hum, Clipped Signal. After the processing, I click in each item in the list and fix it. The problem is that 90 per cent of the times the Click/Pop/Clipping is not fixed. I can see it alters the waveform but you hear pretty much the same thing as before...
Do you have any experience on that?
Thanks

This is a tedious process you're trying to do. What it really comes down to is zooming out the audio until you have clicks and pops of about .5-1 sec. Then you really have to go over and over the really bad ones until you've covered it from all angles. What ultimately happens is you reveal layers of the pops. As you take out one layer another appears. When you isolate the problems they all begin to fix easier. The program is really very adept at finding the rest of a pop that only appeared partially on the surface at first.
Good question - patients is a prereq. virtue here: Good Luck.

HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store. It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

I have a first generation ITouch and want to only store music on it. How do I delete the built-in apps such as Stocks, Mail, Photos, Videos, Calendars, Maps, etc. to free up space?

Upgraded to iTunes 6.0.5 sound now clicks and pops.

I've been using iTunes 6 happily up until yeasterday when I was prompted to upgrade to 6.0.5. I did this and now the sound of all of my purchased music is like an old scratched vinyl LP. At regular intervals there are clicks and pops in the music.
This did not happen until I upgraded. Strangely if I play the same tracks in QuickTime Player rather than in iTunes they pay without faults. I've tried changing settings to Safe Mode (waveOut only)and it makes no difference to the quality of the playback.
So, is there any way to revert to the old iTunes installation or is there a fix for 6.0.5?
FWIW, QuickTime Player isn't much of a solution since it doesn't support playlists.

just checking. have you tried working through the other possibilities (apart from the QT sound out settings) from this document?

Strange Problem - iTunes audio clicks and pops when connected to internet

Hello,
I have a very strange problem.
When I go to play a song in iTunes the audio clicks and pops. Not an uncommon problem I know, but here is where things seem to get strange.
I'm using iTunes on a laptop so I have a little switch which allows me to turn off my wireless adapter thus disconnecting me from the internet.
If I'm connected to the internet the audio clicks and pops but if I'm disconnected the audio plays smooth as it should.
The problem arrived out of no where i.e. no changes made to the laptop like installing drivers or programs.
I'm completely lost at what to do and after weeks of searching online I just had to ask to see if anyone here can help me.
Thanks

Since writing this article I read that there is a problem with the airport update for tiger 10.4.11, which is exactly what I'm running. This is a pretty serious issue because I can't even listen to streaming music off the internet (via my firebox) without major clicks and pops. I wish I turned my updater of when things were stable

Not a feature of Windows Phone OS, you can only change wallpaper, show artist when playing music or have password request upon lockscreen.

FCPX + Lion + Cannot handle AAC or Apple Lossless audio in H.264! (Clicks and Pops)

This is a problem I've been having since I upgraded to Lion, and I've posted this response in other forums, but wanted to start a fresh one with a video I created of my findings. In a nutshell: FCPX in Lion cannot handle AAC audio in H.264 files since it will create audible clicks and pops when it subsequently renders the footage. This ***** because the iPhone 4 for example records as H.264 and AAC for the audio. Below are my findings:
So I think I figured it out! (I'm pretty sure FCPX + Lion has issues with compressed audio formats, ESPECIALLY AAC and Apple Lossless!) There's a video of my findings below:
1. I tried doing exactly the same thing I was trying to do on my machine on a co-worker's Snow Leopard MBP, and it worked out fine (it was just importing an iPhone 4 .mov and exporting it in FCPX). The output file was pretty much the same as what came in.
2. I found out that only movies from my iPhone 4 were coming out all crazy in the audio, yet my Canon T2i files were fine. Both are H.264, yet the Canon T2i records audio as Linear PCM, while the iPhone 4 records audio as AAC.
3. So I got an idea to use screen flow to record a youtube video and record the computer's audio. Then I decided to export with different formats, both as HD NTSC standards and as web standards with H.264.
4. I found out that both NTSC and H.264 standards were perfectly fine, SO LONG AS THE AUDIO WAS LINEAR PCM (or uncompressed!).
5. I then exported the same clip (both times as H.264) and ONLY changed how the audio was rendered (either Linear PCM/Uncompressed or AAC) and VOILA, I got click and pop artifacts ONLY in the AAC version. The ones that were output as uncompressed audio were totally fine!
CONCLUSION:
Final Cut Pro X on OS X Lion has issues with compressed audio, MAINLY AAC and Apple Lossless! Anything that is Linear PCM/Uncompressed should be fine! For example, MPEG 4 AAC Enhanced Low Delay at 320K came out 95% OK, one or two clicks.
So if any of us are working with material where the audio came to us already as AAC (like an iPhone 4), then we have to rip the audio out somehow first (like through VLC for example) and import it separately as an uncompressed file.
Here's a youtube video showing exactly what I'm talking about:

Anybody else have any thoughts on this before Apple comes out with a fix?

I was having the same problem and spent several hours on the phone with apple working with one of their 3rd level support guys. Their is deffinatley a issue with Lion and FCPX. I was told they would escalate to a FCPX engineer and they would get back to me in two days. In the mean time I went to my local apple store and was able to recreate the issue on every machine I tried. Apple did call back and confirm that there is an issue with the way FCPX and Lion handle the import and export of AAC files. They said there would hopefully be fixed in a future update.
The best work around I found is to take your AAC file and convert it to a WAV. I used compressor to do this and it seems to have solved the problem.

Sync, Corruption, Clicks and Pops

Hello All,
So I'm having multiple issues with my setup here as I'm preparing to go into a big film score and don't want to have these headaches once I start.
First problem, and this might be the easiest to solve, is when playing back I'm getting intermittent clicks, pops, distortions from my sampled instruments. I'm running about 7 - 8 instances of Vienna Instruments, about 12 instances of exs with various samples/old Vienna Library, two instances of Stylus RMX, two instances of StormDrum (2-3 patches each) and one instance of Ethno. In addition to this I'm running my giga setup via lightpipe, and a Roland 5080 via Midi. I'm also running the movie, full length and DV quicktime format. I have all my audio samples on one external firewire Glyph Drive, the video on another external firewire Glyph drive, and the project on an internal (separate from the System Drive) hard drive.
My initial idea was that these clicks and pops might be caused by a bottleneck on the sample drive. This drive I believe is running firwire 400. Are the amount of Samples I'm running too much for this drive? Would it help if I upgraded to firewire 800 or maybe got another internal drive running 10,000 rpms? Should I re-encode my movie so its not so hard on the drive bus but more processor intensive?
My other idea was that it might be a case of bad Ram. Checking Logics System Performance window, I was only showing 75% on one processor and 30% on the second processor. So I opened up the activity monitor to check out how much ram was being used and it showed only 3.17 gigs of ram used. Going back to Logic all pandemonium broke loose with my project.
Which brings me to my second problem...this project is having crazy sync sample rate issues. Everything is distorted and garbled being played back, Logic is returning an error sign saying that I'm not synced and showing a random sample rate (4168). Restarting my system and all the usual stuff (repairing disk permissions) helps not at all. Everything still sounds messed up. Removing the movie from the project lessens the distortion but the same sync error turns up. Opening up other projects, I don't run into these problems. I even opened the Autoload of this project and I didn't have this problem (other than the already mentioned clicks and pops).
Is this project corrupted beyond retrieval? Do I have to manually copy everything to another project? Why did opening the Activity Monitor set this off?
If you read through this long post and know any of these answers that would be awesome.
Here's the specs on my setup.
Dual 2Ghz G5
4 GB DDR SDRAM (8 x 12)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
2 Glyph Drives
Audio Sample Drive - 400mb/sec
Video Drive - 800mb/sec
Motu PCI - 2408 mk3
GigaStudio PC
Roland 5080
TC Powercore
Everything slaved to an Apogee Big Ben at 48.
Thanks!

Hi,maybe this can help:
In addition to this I'm running my giga setup via lightpipe,
Going into what? Logic Pro thru the Motu 2408? into a digital mixer?It is not clear how you route this.If the Motu is the clock master,and you route everything through it,you should slave the Giga playback card to it,and make sure the Giga card can and is synced properly.
My initial idea was that these clicks and pops might
be caused by a bottleneck on the sample drive.
Nope,highly unlikely. A bottleneck on a drive will only slow down a system.Unless you are using certain western Digital drives that shield their power and their FW grounds together...then the hum from the drive spining would be what you hear.
My other idea was that it might be a case of bad Ram.
Nope,highly unlikely either...you would simply have more crashes,and freezes.
Which brings me to my second problem...this project
is having crazy sync sample rate issues. Everything
is distorted and garbled being played back, Logic is
returning an error sign saying that I'm not synced
and showing a random sample rate (4168).
Sounds like you are not slaving the word clock correctly somewhere int he chain...but without knowing what sound card the Gigastudio is using,and how you have your word clock distributed,I can only offer the following:
Remember to make ONE and only ONE device the sample rate clock master,and slave the rest to it.
Please try to re-connect your word clock cables...and maybe even start by running only one device at a time,until you find the one that causes the problem.It might be a headache at first,but the only real way to troubleshoot this stuff is to go one by one piece of gear and find the bad one.Sometimes a bad word clock cable,bad power cord,bad grounding between devices,can cause all sorts of problems,including clocking issues.
i hope this helps,
Nick

Freezed problem after applying Clicks and Pops filter

It always halt after I have submitted Clicks and Pops filter.

Dropping by just to thank you again for your feedback and to let you know that the problem no longer exists. I do still work with Logic Pro 9 at 32 bits (I'll move on to 64 as soon as I finish all the ongoing work started under 32 bits) and I did maintained the buffer size on 256.
I noticed that MOTU had launched a new driver version so I installed it just to realize that the loud poffs and cracks evolved to tiny crackle noise, like static on radio waves, that happened every 2 or 3 minutes, the noise starting slowly (few cracks) then accelerating (many cracks), lasting 5 seconds each time. Then silence (music) again. Major upset.
Then I was notified (as we all were I guess) that a Mavericks update was available. Run the update, a long one I should say, and, problem solved, no more noises - just plain music.
So everything's cool again. Finishing up some more instrumentals without unwanted noises.Thank you all, thx Nigel.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

Clicks and pops on X-Fi - is there anyway of to fix

Hi!
I bought a X-fi Xtreme Music card andf immediately ran into the problem with clicks and pops in the audio which I have read many people are having problems with. I have a Asus a8n32-sli deluxe motherbaord which indeed features the infamous nforce4 chipset (which I thought was a good chipset until now).
I've not quite yet read through all the material available on this issue yet, but simply put, is there any way of fixing this or is just X-fi crap, my chipset crap. Simply: are there any real solutions, has anyone really 00% FIXED these issues?
Kristian

When are you having this problem? playing mp3s? play games? during specific modes?

Clicks and Pops with X-fi Titanium PCIe

I am having trouble with my X-fi Titanium PCIe where I am getting clicks and pops every so often. The problem is during any audio, music, movies, netflix etc. I am connected thru optical spdif and I have tried with Dolby Digital Live both on and off, and the clicks are always there.
I checked IRQs and the X-fi is sharing IRQ 16 with my video card and a couple other devices. My thinking is that this is the problem, but of course in Windows 7, there is no way to force an IRQ change. My board only has one PCIe x1 slot and I'm not sure what else to do.
I would appreciate any help or input.

Hi MuzicEngineer,
Certain motherboards may allow you to reassign the IRQ of your devices. You might want to check with the motherboard vendor to see if this is possible. Also if you have not already, feel free to write to our Customer Support for assistance.
