getting clicks and pops from recording
Anytime I record audio directly from a video or audio playback, the track has clicks and pops that I don't hear in the original source. Is there a way of recording so that it records exactly what I hear? Thanks.
Re: getting clicks and pops from recording
If it is something on line (Internet), see if you can download it instead. If it is a CD or DVD you can probably "rip it" (digitally extract). If it is copy protected, you probably shouldn't be copying it.

Re: getting clicks and pops from recording
Do you mean you hear these clicks after you have made some edits?
Because I've been making one long continuous sound from a small file, and whenever I copy and paste to make a new section, you see thick lines where the edit was made. When the audio is played back, it clicks or pops where those lines are.
When I click on the lines, it removes them and "merges" the sections together. Then the click or pop is gone.
