Question

audio clicks during recording

Audition is introducing audio clicks when I record a wave file. The recording starts out fine, then about a minute in clicks or hits start being introduced. This used to be a rare and intermittent problem for me, but now it's become an everyday occurence. I'm on a laptop with Windows 10. All other adobe products I use regularly-- Premier and Character Animator -- work very well on this laptop, so I know it's not the machine. 

Is this a setting or a latency issue I'm not understanding?

Thanks for any help.

Can't even remotely tell without seeing the clicks in a file. If it's latency, then try increasing the latency value in Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware and see if this at least alters the problem...

So when i increase the latency,  to like 400,  it got rid of 95% of the clicks but they still are there...    its very random and not sure what the heck to do about them now...

One thing that has been known to produce a few problems is if the mic is set up in Windows to run at one bit rate, and you're trying to record in a different one. What happens then is that Windows has to resample the mic's output and this means putting it into a buffer at one rate and reading it out at another. You can't control that process at all, and generally it's not very good at it. So initially, make sure that the rates match up. If this appears to be all correct, then try downloading the free ASIO4ALL driver and using that to locate the mic feed from Windows - it generally does a better job of managing the feeds than the MME driver does, even though it's doing essentially the same thing.

That's a good tip. I didn't think of that. I have several hours to record tomorrow. So Ill give this a try.
