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...

Good Morning,

So I checked my settings and the mic setting was different in windows than in Audition. I changed them both to match and..... no luck. The sesssion, which was New Audio File, started ticking immediately. Both windows and my Audition settings are set to a sample rate of 48Hz. The latency is 200ms which is what was selected. Both are set for 24bit audio. I've also tried switching USB ports. I can record in Windows Voice Recorder just fine.

I'll be interested to find out what I'm doing wrong, and please let me know what other information you need. The chat would not let me upload the pkf file.

Thanks!


Ah, those aren't latency clicks - that's why I wanted to see the file! Doesn't matter about the .pkf file - that gets regenerated here anyway.

 

Are you recording in Multitrack or Waveform view? If it's in Waveform view, can you try recording in Multitrack and see if the same thing happens? The recording mechanisms are completely different; Multitrack is direct to disk, whereas Waveform view goes via a temp file, and it's that I'm getting a little suspicious about.
