why is this happening
i have wiped out the clips audio by going to inspector and bringing the volume down
but the mp3 ( an ongoing song ) has episodic clicks and pops
horrible
first time this has happened
anyone
please
help

Hi
I use no .mp3 audio in any of my movie projects - in iMovie HD6 or iM'08-11 or FinalCut Express or FinalCut Pro.
I convert (all various audio formats) to .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or use audio from audio-CDs .aiff 16-bit 44.1kHz.
I use Audacity (free audio editor on internet) to do this.
Result - No pops or clicks.

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?

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!

Airport Express Pops and Clicks

I bought an airport express about a month ago with the goal of adding Airplay support to our living room. So far it's worked well except that it pops and clicks (sometimes very loudly) every 20 minutes or so. I've read that electrical interference may be the cause but 4 different surge protectors and line conditioners have done nothing to fix the problem.
I'm not using iTunes. Only streaming from iphones and an ipad.
Are there any additinal steps I can take before returining the unit?

If it also pops and clicks when you plug in the headphones, that points to a defective AirPort Express that will need to be replaced.
If you do not hear the pops and clicks on the headphones, then you know the AirPort Express is good and the problem is likely somewhere between the AirPort Express, amp and speakers.
Sometimes a compressor on a refrigerator or air conditioner will send spikes though the AC lines that are picked up in the amp, no matter what kind of surge supressor you have. I have had this problem, and had to replace the separate amp I was using.

What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?

What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?
I have downloaded many of my previous Keynote presentation into my new ipad mini and not ONE has opened properly
Rather defeats the purpose of icloud, synching, Keynote on IOS etc doesn't it?
Any tips anyone?
Cheers
Philip

Thanks for this Gary. Much appreciated. Will help with future ones.
Still a bit like using keynote in 'safe mode' and very limiting.
If anyone produces an 'auto convert' app that will save me the work of fixing existing presentations slide by slide, I'm buying it :-)
Thanks again

The keyboard on my ipad has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back.Any ideas how to get my keyboard back?

the keyboard on my ipad has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back.Any ideas how to get my keyboard back?

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows - checking after each one to see if the problem is resolved:
Power your iPad off and on.
A reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.

HT2470 The Finder toolbar, by default, has Previous and Next buttons that let you navigate back and forth in folders. I somewhat change that setting and can't go back and foreward. How do I change this setting to the original one? I tried everything!

Select a Finder window, Finder->View->Customize Toolbar…, and add it back.

I have been transfeing my DVD footage to I movie using handbreak and the spinning wheel of death has arrived and locked up I movie as I tried to import footage. The message says, "Optimizing movies, processing event DVD" but I can't get out of it.

Yes I held them down till the apple logo appears, then spinning wheel and repeated boot up process. I only knew it was going round in circles because the charging sound kept repeating every so many seconds.
I am downloading iOS.5.0.1 now to do a complete factory restore. I hope this works. I have been looking online for hours for fixes and I have very little batter on it as its been spinning for hours now.
Why do things like this happen? I am sat there watching tv and one minute the settings folder is there then its not! How does that happen? It just disappear? I hadn't moved it to another folder or deleted it, it just.... went!

Popping and clicking in audio of rendered project files since installing OS Maverick. Any suggestions?

I have a project which I rendered a few months ago with no issues. Now after installing OS Maverick, the exact same project will render but the audio has popping and cracking in it. The audio sounds fine when played in the timeline, the issue only occurs when rendering. I have alread tried selecting prevent app nap and also i tried to delete rendered files and neither have worked.
Has anyone had a similar issue or have suggestion for fixing this problem?

swdm75, you may be a bonafide genius - I've been dealing with this issue for YEARS, and it never occurred to me that it could be a Quicktime issue!
I just rendered a project, played it back in Quicktime, and the audio had all sorts of stutter.
Sigh. Great, what the **** do I do know?
I read your Quicktime hypothesis, copied the file over to my PC, played it in Windows Media Player...
...NO MORE STUTTERING!!!
The issue is almost certainly Quicktime - the stutter isn't a permanent part of the rendered audio, its a failure on the part of the player!
Dude, I can't thank you enough for posting this - I've had stuttering issues since I started using FCPX, and this is the first I've read about it being a Quicktime issue.
You rock.

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.

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.
