Digital clicks

Post by jamesoncooper » Tue Aug 21, 2012 2:41 am

Hello. I'm trying to do some basic editing on a stereo recording. It seems whatever editing I do, it creates a digital click. So far, I have tried to copy and paste and also use the "tempo change" effect. Both resulted in clicks at the join. It's definitely not there on the original recording. I'm trying to do this on an imac from 2007 and I'm running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded from the DMG. Any help would be apprecitated.

Thanks!

Before editing, ensure that the audio does not have DC off-set. http://manual.audacityteam.org/manual/h ... le.html#DC

Try to make edits at points of silence, or immediately before a beat, or at zero crossing points: http://manual.audacityteam.org/manual/h ... .html#zero
