Question

audio popping in the exported file, but not in the sesx file

Hi!

So I've recorded some music using Adobe Audition using a backing track and my mini studio set. All is recorded and finished with a few effects.

Playback using Audition seems to be fine, occasionally some pops will come up but if I go back to repeat where I heard the pop, it doesn't play again - so I assume its a buffering or cache issue. When I export it to mp3, wav and aac, the files actually retain the pops in different spots to the playback in Audition but this time when I go back to replay it, the pop is still there. So the popping becomes apart of the track even though it is technically not in the sesx file.

Is there a way I can fix this? Perhaps an export type that doesn't produce the popping...

I really feel you on this. This is actually really fustrating. Any solutions to this yet?

The type of audio file export format shouldn't make any difference to any defects in the rendered file. So you really need to find the source of the pops that are occurring and where they come from. You shouldn't hear any pops at all when playing the audio in the session. Have you tried increasing the buffer size in Audition's Audio Hardware set up page?

Playing it in Audition now and there are no pops.

I've adjusted the buffer size to the maximum and exported it again twice, to wav and aac just to check and the pops still occur, the same place in both tracks. They're not places of transitions nor is anything special occurring at these points. I don't know what the cause could be.
