The solution to fix *that* recording is a spectral editor of some sort (or crossfading the clicks out using freakishly small XF's). The solution to it not happening anymore could be a bunch of things. Could be a clocking issue (that's where I'd start, but I'd assume you locked that down by now).

Can you reproduce the problem? Do you get clicks while recording nothing but the ambient noise?

Hi Massive,

Thanks so much for the super fast reply! Yeah, fixing that recording is a no-go, especially since I still have the voice artist locked in a cage and the recording is so long. there's quite a lot of that stuff.

Not sure about clocking issues - I really know nothing about all that. But there's no such sound when recording ambience. It seems to occur during vocals, through some large sections of the recording are perfectly fine.

Thanks again for taking the time to repsond!

This sounds like a Windows operating system recording setup error? Improper buffer levels/numbers. It really depends on your computer audio interface that you're using? Some have their own buffer settings. And then there is the computer buffer settings. It can become a tricky juggling act to get it right.

The fix you might want to try for your existing recording might simply be a click pop eliminator in whatever software you are using? Or maybe some gating with a negative look ahead? In a sense, up cutting that clicking noise. I've had that same issue when building a new desktop machines with my audio interfaces. And that takes some tweaking and some juggling to get things locked down right. And it can truly be quite exasperating sometimes.

Whoops... there was nothing really in that recording that brotheled me.

Thanks Remy!

I'll mess around a bit with the buffer size, thanks for the tip. Oddly, I increased the I/O to 64 samples and this may have helped the problem (I'll see over time), though as I understand it, one should decrease the buffer size to improve recording performance.

Anyway, trial and error. Thanks again for your two cents!

Best,
Ryan

I've had this happen before. Did you happen to have an Internet connection (wifi or Ethernet) running while recording?
