A little "Pop" at the beginning of a track?

[jdavia]

I don't know if it is possible, but try to set the key change before you set the song into play or when you are recording it. The popping sound might be the connection to the sound card when the key change button is pressed.
I have this happen with one song I made in KPro. It is definately not your computer.

Now that I'm home at my computer, I did some testing. All UPs that are selected from a stop, not while the songs are running, seem to pop when the selection is made. And the resultant files pop when played, and the discs made pop. The DOWNs don't do this.

Maybe reinstalling would be a good idea.

jdavia, it sounds like you are suggesting some kind of real-time recording. Perhaps that is an aspect appropriate for Hoster, I don't know. I don't have Hoster. I process files, but not real-time. I guess I don't understand your suggestion. Can you throw it at me again? Thanks

I know you were using Keyrite to change the key. I haven't used Keyrite even though I have it. I change key in my mixer or in Hoster when in play.
I was thinking about KPro where I made a song that pops at the beginning like yours does.

So yours does it with the disc too, the pop might be on the disc. Re-recording it will do the same. Is it only songs from that disc?
Still don't think it is your computer or the drive.

I tried Keyrite this morning and played a song using the key change. recorded a song using the key change. In both instances using key changes up and down. I even saved it to see if a pop was there in the saved song still using the key change. I heard no pops in any test.

This was from songs on my hard drive only, not from discs on the CD Drive.
Try other discs to see what happens, it might be that disc.

I reinstalled but still get a little "click" or "pop" before play preview, and, I will test this again later, suppose that the new file and resultant disc will also include the noise, just as before. This is on raised files. I have windows XP and I imagine that the solution has something to do with hardware accelaration.

I will do further testing when I am home at my own computer. Until then, assume that I have the same problem as before, a nasty little "pop" at the beginning of raised files.

Dabbled with hardware accelaration and it doesn't seem to improve anything. Am I the only one with this problem? Is there noone who has a solution?

Hi Jahern,

Been watching this with interest. I haven't a clue as to what's happening, but wonder if you'd do something.

Save one of the files with the pop in it. Use a slightly different name so's not to mess up the original.

I believe I remember you having an audio editing program.

Open the track into your audio editing program and see it the pop is visible. One would think it should be.

If so, then you should be able to edit it out, as you well know.

The only reason for this exercise is to give you a "workaround" so you can use tracks in the key you wish until an answer can be found.

At his point I haven't been able to duplicate it, but will keep messing around with it.

Take care,

George
