Noise clicks on clips transitions

[Guilherme GG]

Hi guys, when I create clips on my audio, the sound have gaps between, making a "cliking" sound.

What I made wrong? How can I fix this?

We need a bit more info on your work flow in order to exactly understand the problem. Is this when working in the Multitrack view? How are you splitting your audio into clips? Can you post an image of your clips where the clicking occurs?

[Guilherme GG]

Let's see

1- I'm working with the multitrack
2- I'm selecting the time i dont wanna, pressing delete, and pressing ctrl shift backspace

4- This happens in every clip
3- Bounce_1_01.mp3 - Google Drive  here is a 10 second sound, where in 6-7 seconds happens the click (it is the 2:00 on original sound)

4- On facebook they said to me to deactivate the "noise reduction" to see, and still the same

5- heres a print

One thing that I notice from your screen image is that Audition is having to convert the sample rate on the fly since your original audio seems to be at 16kHz rather than the 44.1kHz that your soundcard requires (see the info bottom left Playing). This, together with the effects that you are applying in real time, is probably causing problems with using a lot of computer processing power and audio buffering when there is a cut in the clips where you have deleted audio. Is there any reason why your Multitrack session is at 16kHz rather than the standard 44.1kHz? You probably wouldn't be having these problems if your session was at 44.1k. Even if your recorded files were 16k Audition would convert the sample rate when the files are loaded rather than trying to do so on the fly during playback.

I guess the original record was in 16. How can I change to 44.1 to test?

One thing I guess I undertand now. What youre saying it is I can't do anything, I need to change to 44.1 the original sound, and re-edit. I'm right?

Well, purely for sound quality it's worth re-recording your sound to 44.1kHz or better.  At 16kHz you have a pretty limited audio bandwidth that will affect your sound.

However, on the clicks, on quick thing to try it to go to Edit/Zero Crossings and select the most suitable option there.  Zero Crossing forces your edit to be at a point where the edit is automatically moved so it occurs where the waveform is crossing the zero point.  Without this, you can end up with an edit at, for example, a high positive waveform going to another clip where the waveform is below zero...and the normal result of this is a click.

Thank you guys. Since record another one it was not a option, I converted the original sound and re-edited, and ... Worked! Now I'll take caution with the band. Thank you very much for the tips.
