Hi can anyone help. Ive been editing a clip by using the automatic noise declipper and since then I have no audio whatsoever on that clip but all other clips play fine. It's not just in audition I tried playing that clip in itunes and there is no audio. There is a waveform though so I have no idea whats wrong with it. Screenshot attached

Hi,

 

maybe i'm wrong but from the screenshot it seems that you only opened the wav file. The effect is only shown, but not applied to the wave?! Are the Output device and length of the file correct? What is the Format of that wav file (Details of the file)? Just to confirm can that clip (unedited) be played on all devices? Also try to open it and for confirmation save it as mp3 or another format and that should play it back. Hope that helps.

regards,Henrik

The clip no longer plays at all whether it be on audition or itunes or quicktime player. It shows as playing as it counts the seconds and minutes but there is no sound whatsoever. It wont allow me to save as, this option is greyed out. Ill attach a screenshot of the details of the file

I am having the same or similar problem with several clips.

I have the waveform in my clip (here is my session info:  <session appBuild="23.5.0.48" appVersion="23.5" audioChannelType="stereo" bitDepth="32" duration="234584969" sampleRate="48000"> ).

My audio was exported from Pro Tools and is from a mono, 32 bit, 48k PCM Wave file.

All my audio came from the same export and are in the same format.

Most everything except for a hand full of clips.

However, the clips will play in the Waveform Editor, but are where they show the waveform in the timeline, no meters and no sound.

I have moved the clips to alternate tracks, I am able to play back "good" clips on any track, I have modiefied audio hardware and channel mapping, sent the audio through other buses and out puts, and have relinked it to the file that plays fine in the QT preview.

Any help would be great, thx, Bill
