Saffire clicking sound when recording

I am having a problem with my Saffire. I just got it in today.
I set it up, connected my mic, played around with it to learn the controls, etc. So I load Logic Pro 7.2, and I record on track 1. I then listened to the track playback in my headphones connected to the Saffire. So no problems recording on track 1.
Having only one mic connected to my saffire, I go to track 2, and set it for input 1. I start to record track 2, and I hear a clicking sound. The audio is recorded to track 2, but the entire time recording, I hear this click sound that wasn't there when I was recording track 1.
I thought I maybe did something wrong, so I started a new song. Recorded on track 1 with no problems. Then went to record track 2, I hear the clicking sound during the recording. Playing back both tracks recorded, there is no clicking sound.
Anyone know why this is so? I'm using a MacBook 2.0GHz Core Duo, 2GB ram, recording on the internal drive. I downloaed the universal binary versions of the plugins and software for the saffire, and have the latest firmware. Running the latest version of Mac OS.
Also, when I'm in the saffire control app, I can't choose Preferences from the menu. It's grayed out. Is this normal?
Thanks,
Bryan

It's rythmic clickin.. sounds like a metronome, but I don't have one playing. I even deleted the click track. Also, I created a new song.. and I hear the clicking even recording the first track if I have the playback in my headphones. So if I have my Saffire control panel set to TRACK, I hear the clicking when I'm recording to Logic.
I didn't change the I/O buffer size, I'll have to check to see what it's on.

  • Eliminating Clicking Sound When Recording

    How do I get rid of the annoying rythymic clicking sound that comes up when I try to record my voice? I cannot make any good recordings because the clicking is always going on in the background (and it is very loud). How do I get rid of this?

    This is the Metronome. Just go to the Control Menu and uncheck it, and it'll be gone.

  • Clicking sound when recording Video

    When I record video, a clicking/whirring noise made by the camera is recorded on the video. I'm thinking it's the autofocus, or zoom (although it seems to make the noise even if I am not using the zoom.)Any ideas on what is causing this or how to get rid of it?Thanks!

It seems the "mechanics" of the camera are being recorded on any video I take.I was hoping to post a video, but I don't seem to be able to do that.Thanks!If I understand you correctly, you maybe picking up auto focus/IS noise from your internal mic every time you record a video.  I had a Canon SX50 before I got my Canon SX60 and I was annoyed by that clicking sound in my video's, if that's what it is.  The SX50 does'nt have an external mic jack to solve this issue.  That's why I sold mine and got my Canon SX60.  It has an external mic jack that I use to connect an external mic to (among other upgrades)  You can attach an external mic onto the hotshoe plate on the SX60.   There maybe a workaround for an external mic for your SX50, but you'll have to ask around here on site, or goggle it. BTW...this is a Canon Site for all Canon Cameras and gear.  But does'nt have a catogory just for the SX50.  But you're in the right place, powershot posts.

  • Garageband making loud double clicking sound when trying to record

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?

    Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?
    Basically, i like to record videos of me singing and playing guitar or keyboard, but to get a good sound for the keyboard I'd like to be able to record the audio using MIDI sounds...
    Ive got Logic, I've got M-Audio Fast Track Pro, into which i have my mic, guitar, and keyboard midi plaugged into. I can use it to record the mic and guitar on photobooth as they are audio inputs, however i can't use the midi sounds on the keyboard :/ I have tried having logic open with the desired MIDI sound selected whilst recording but it doesnt work...
    Is there ANY way this is possible?
    HELP PLEASE!
    Thanks!

  • No sound when recording videos with iphone 4s - ios7

    Since I have downloaded ios7 to my iphone 4s I am no longer getting any sounds when recording videos. When looking back at past videos I have recorded, they still have sound in the playback. I have tried resetting my phone and reseting it to factory settings. Any recommendations?

    Hey Bryan3939!
    If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like you might be experiencing an issue with your microphone recording during videos. I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:

  • Click sound when opening/closing cover

    I've had the ipad 2 and Apple cover for 2 months.  When I first got it, there was a click sound when opening or closing the cover.  There is no sound anymore when opening/closing.  Did I change a setting somehow which caused this?

    On the new iPad, the switch next to the volume rocker has two functions, depending on how you have it set in 'Settings.'  There's a section in General called Use Side Switch to:.  You can either use it to Lock Rotation or Mute.  When it is set to Lock Rotation and the switch is pushed to the left, yes, the rotation is locked, but when it is set to Mute, and the switch is pushed to the left, all sounds are muted, including the sound for when closing the cover.

  • Should Keyboard have the "clicking" sound when typing?

    I noticed that the MacBook Pros, when typing on them, have the clicking sound when pressing each key. My wired keyboard also has a clicking sound when typing. However, the MBA I just received in the mail, does not. Only the space bar essentially does. Is this the same for all of them? Thanks.

    Yes, this is normal. The keys don't really click, the spacebar isn't really a click but it makes a slightly more click like sound the other keys on the MBA.
    The latest MBP keys are more like the MBA keys I believe.

  • HT4528 Clicking sound when making a phone call

    Clicking sound when making phone call

    I had this happen as well. Restarting my MacBook Pro (8,2) made it go away. At other times it seemed to appear when calling some phones (my wife's iPhone 4 and my son's Samsung phone) but not others (my land line), but this was not consistent. My phone is an iPhone 5. I'm hoping the iOS update due tomorrow will fix this.

  • MacBook Pro 2012 hinge problem with single click sound when i open it

    when i go to sleep and shut my macbook off and close the screen next morning i open my screen and i hear a single click noise??
    im paranoid ita a brand new macbook its not a hard drive fail it just a single click sound when i open it to turn on
    and heres a video of the hinge is this is whats causing the single click sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEUt2p783nA

    I have this problem too with my Mid-2012 MBP non-retina. The screen would click once, after being left for a long time, and would be fine after that, until you close it and re-open it again after a long time. It is especially loud in the morning so I think it is temperature dependent. Happened about 3 months after buying. I took it to Apple. First time they replaced the entire screen. They had to since that is the only way to replace the hinge. When I got it back, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. Second time they just tightened the screws securing the display with the unibody. When I got it back the second time, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. The third time they replaced the entire screen AGAIN! When I got it back, the problem was fixed for 2 days, then the screen started clicking again so I'm back to square one. I'm wondering whether I should take it to Apple the forth time, but then again, they've already replaced the screen twice which didn't work so I'm not sure what more they can do. It's either this is normal, which implies the screen hinge is really badly designed or the clicking has nothing to do with the screen at all.

  • Why is there a clicking sound when I close the cover and enter sleep mode?

    why is there a clicking sound when I close the cover and enter sleep mode?

    Hi katesvca,
    I too have an iPad smart cover, and all that clicking sound is is basically the standard lock sound for iOS. The Smart cover is equipped with magnets inside, and the iPad is also equipped with magnets, and when those magnets are closed together the iPad goes to sleep.
    I hope this answers your question.

  • Front of iPhone4 makes clicking sound when I press it? Can it be fixed?

    The screen of my iPhone 4 has started making a clicking sound when I press on the front during normal use. Can this be fixed easily?

    Since you are still in the warranty period, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have it checked.  The clicks are not loud, but should be audible.
    Ciao.
