Sliding Scale Clicking (SOLVED)

Post by jark » Wed Nov 16, 2011 8:57 pm

I've searched and can't find anything, so if this has been answered, sorry.

I am using the sliding time scale to transition between two songs. But on both ends of the transitions I am getting a click. I've tried using click remover, but even at its most sensitive it doesn't help.

Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

I presume that you mean the "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift" effect?
As with all time stretch type effects, this effect is inexact because in order to achieve time stretching it is necessary to chop the sound up into little pieces, stretch the pieces then stitch them all back together again. It's almost miraculous that it works at all :D so I'm not surprised if you get clicks at the end(s) of the processed sections. What you will probably need to do is to cut out the clicks and cross-fade the joins.

You may be interested in trying this new cross-fade effect http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=4324

Ahh... thanks. I knew it would be something simple, just didn't think it would be THAT simple. Exactly what I needed. Don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place...
