When recording in Audition CC, I get a clipping sound rather frequently, making the audio unusable.
As the title says, I am getting a clipping sound, despite the recording being well below the mic threshold. It makes any audio around it unusable, as I am saying sentences and sentences rely on making sense and therefore, need to be unedited.
I have inserted a picture of the likely culprit (the waveform on either side is smooth, and this is a sudden "dip" to nearer 0dB - it is clearly some kind of "cut-off" in the mic's audio. The strange things are that this hasn't happened previously, only on this recording, and the waveform doesn't show it as flat - there is possibly some kind of voltage noise still being recorded.
My current theories are:
- Some other process is momentarily interrupting the recording by some unknown method (unlikely).
- There is some problem with the mic that is making it stop recording for a millisecond, causing an audible clicking sound (fairly likely)
- This is a hardware problem with the USB connection to the mic.
My system specification, and Audition CC setup, is below. While recording, I am running a game which shouldn't be causing my system too much grief.
Recording
Mic: USB Blue Snowball iCE @ 48,000Hz connected to USB 3.0 on motherboard
Audition: 192,000Hz (This shouldn't cause a problem, it hasn't previously) single audio track, .wav format.
System
Motherboard: ASRock Z370 Pro4
CPU: i5-8600k@4.4GHz
RAM: 16GB
Recording HDD: Toshiba 3TB HDD
GPU: MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
