Hello,
I am recording a podcast and cannot determine the source of a clicking or crackling sound. I’ve attached an example. Does anyone know what this is called, and/or how to prevent it?
Part of the challenge is that it is difficult to recreate because it often happens over an hour into recording. I get started and think I’m good to go, and then listen later and notice it started happening again. This leads me to believe it could be related to latency, but I can’t recreate it by opening all of the applications on my computer, dozens of web browser tabs, etc. I’m recording at 16-bit PCM and Mono, 44100 Hz, industry standard for podcasts.
Here are the details of my setup:
- Shure SM58 microphones
- Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 Preamp
But, this also happens with by Yeti Blue Microphone, so I don’t think it has to do with the microphone.
I’m using a brand new USB cord and tried jostling it to see if its a connection issue. Doesn’t seem to be.
Any ideas? Please help!
