Clicks/pops when recording via Mic

[mweston]

I get some clicks/pops when using my Mic to record on Audacity on my pc. I do not have this same issue when using Adobe Audition so I suspect it is something specific to Audacity? Using 3.3

Thanks!

Where are you recording to? Are you using external, network, internet, or cloud drives for production? Audacity doesn’t like that very much. Always do production work on an internal drive C:\ D:\ .

After Audacity closes or before it opens, you can move files around to wherever you want.

Audacity can’t test for drive quality, so it always assumes every drive it can see can handle the most critical, difficult, important jobs. So it will try to do overdubbing (for example) on a cloud drive somewhere on earth.

Not happening.

So that’s the most likely cause.
