failure to remove clicks and pops

Post by skyscraper » Mon May 16, 2011 11:05 pm

I am using Windows XP and have downloaded Audacity1.2.6. I received some advice on editing out pops and clicks -- "Select ALL from Edit Menu, from the Effect Menu choose CLICK REMOVAL. Everything seemed to be working until I burnt a cd off the pop and click demo and all the pops and clicks were still there. I tried this twice with different settings in the frequency box and still nothing. What am I doint wrong? help :roll: ! help!
Sincerely, Vic

Audacity's click removal is ok - but I prefer to use Brian Davies' excellent ClickRepair. It costs $40 is well worth it if you have a lot of tracks to process. See this sticky thread: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1994

Record=> Export a WAV=> Process through ClickRepair=>re-import WAV +> all further editing in Audacity.

After processing in Audacity and listening back in Audacity were the clicks and pops gone? If so, then you failed to Export the processed file.
