Audacity adding diginoise to files?
« on: July 22, 2007, 01:19:45 AM »
Below is a screenshot of the same mono wave file opened twice in Audacity and again in Spark XL.

Notice the clipping (which is a brief burst of static) is in different places each time in Audacity, but not present at all in Spark.

Any ideas?
Right now nothing...in the past: Schoeps CMC6, AKG 480, AKG 460, AKG 414, MBHO 603a, Neumann KM100, ADK TL>Schoeps MK4, Schoeps MK2, Schoeps MK41, AKG ck61, AKG ck62, AKG ck63, Neumann AK40, Neumann AK50, MBHO ka200>Lunatec V2, Lunatec V3, Apogee Mini-Me, Oade M148, Oade M248, Sound Devices MP2, Sonosax SXM2>Sony (mod)SBM1, Apogee AD500>D7, D8, D100, M1, R1, R4, R09, iRiver HP120, Microtrack

I never experienced this when I was using Audacity.

This looks like an OS X hiccup... it's not Audacity doing it. Do you have any word clock or lack of word clock issues going on. I know when I am in Bias Peak do a long bounce or filter, and then I also try to do some other "audio" anything in the background, I get very similar random clips that look exactly the same as your screenshot... which makes me think it is OS X related.

Do you have any audio Firewire devices connected when you did the tests?

If you have other audio Firewire devices that are not sync'd (to a word clock or to the internal Mac word clock) they try to sync every 10-20 secs. When it tries to sync... that is when you get a clip.
