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

Keyrite 2.008

Here is something I have not experienced before, but now seem to be experiencing regularly. At the beginning of the tracks of a Carpenters song which I put Up2 and Up3 there is a little "Pop" (I almost exclusively key change down, being a baritone, so going up is also new for me. (Karen was an extremely low voiced woman so I have to raise the key to match it in my Man's voice range )) I have not experienced this "Pop" before. Is my computer sick or is it because the change is up instead of down. Has anyone else experienced (and fixed) this problem?

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.
