static pop even after normalize
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 2:44 pm
I read nearly every post on here about static pop, seems the fix is to normalize each wav before editing it. I tryed that, no go...Here's my problem. I have used Audacity for probably 3 yrs on the same computer, Dell with windows xp. I love this program, never had a problem until I bought a new, bigger computer that I am using just for music, another dell, 250 Gig HD 2 gig ram, windows xp. I first transfered my original audacity program from my old PC to my new one via cd. Then I transfered my wav files for my existing songs the same way. When I play them in the audacity program now, on this new PC,there is a distinct pop sound, that shows up through out the songs. It sounds just like when you drag your socks across the carpet and then touch your sisters nose...
It never did this on the other computer. So I went to Audacity site and DLed another program, The same version, I.2, the stable one, opened it up, transfered files from my recorder, so they were fresh, never edited, normalized each seperate wav file the way it says to here at this forum, and on play back I still get pops.. Whats really weird is they move around, they might do it 3 times in a row at the very same place, then quit, and go to another place.. Is it possible that this is a sound card issue?? Im stumped, any advice is welcomed, Thanks>>>> Mike
