Clicks on punch and roll in waveform

I am an audiobook narrator and have been recording in multitrack forever, going back and checking every punch in to make sure it sounds okay, adjusting the crossfade, etc.
My narrator community has told me this is a huge waste of time and to just record in waveform. BUT EVERY TIME I DO, a small click occurs at EVERY punch spot. I've done everything i can think of to eliminate this, but auto healing these takes more time and effort then simply going back to check my multitrack crossings.
Has anyone ever had this issue? These are what the clicks look like every time I punch in, they are noticeable on the waveform and I can hear them.

I have it set to snap to zero crossings and I still have this problem.

Hi Megan — as SteveG said, the 'Smooth delete/cut boundaries with crossfades of' and 'Smooth all edit boundaries by crossfading' settings in Edit > Preferences > Data are the right first check for clicks on punch-and-roll. If those are already enabled and the clicks persist, it'd help to know your Audition version, OS, and audio interface. Did those settings sort it out? Let us know!

One thing you should check in Edit>Preferences>Data is that there are checks against ‘Smooth delete/cut boundaries with crossfades of’ - (and a value of 2 ms is usually fine) and also ‘Smooth all edit boundaries by crossfading’ - with a value of 5ms.

The only other thing that I’m aware of that could influence this would be a mic preamp with a hefty DC offset on its output, but frankly I think that this is pretty unlikely these days. Anyway, check out the settings above and report back.
