Title: pops and clicks
Post by: hzgone on August 19, 2003, 02:25:25 AM: Well i just got back from moe. and keller willams over the weekend for my fiirst taping. Keller came out pretty good with a few clicks and pops mostly from the bass hits. moe. has pops and clicks all over the place not sure what they are from. I was getting overs all night and could not get rid of them. My levels were turned down as far as i could go and they would not stop.

Here is what i was running A51-TL>MME>C1-VN and recording with n-track also was recording at 24/48

I really don't know what went wrong and i can't wait to get out and record something else.

Post by: hzgone on August 19, 2003, 01:49:08 PM: yeah i belive there is

Post by: hzgone on August 19, 2003, 04:54:24 PM: Yep that was me at Universal. I'm kind of bumed but oh well i will get some more shows under my belt and may change that jumper setting and see what happens.

Post by: hzgone on August 19, 2003, 05:15:53 PM: I'm pretty sure they are from overs. The MME was in the red all the time.

Post by: Brian Skalinder on August 19, 2003, 05:16:54 PM: Okay, yeah...sounds like trouble. Just wanted to check b/c laptop config issues could easily cause the pops and clicks.

Changed that internal jumper yet?

Post by: Kevin on August 19, 2003, 05:17:40 PM: Also I the minime has a soft limit with 3 diff settings and has a soft limit compress with 3 settings. I used the soft limit on the 1st setting last night to record a friend of mine singing last night and she sounding great!!! anyway, I dont know what the results would be at a concert but my recording last night turned out awesome ;)

its a plug in under the master section ;)
Title: Re:pops and clicks
Post by: hzgone on August 21, 2003, 04:06:16 PM: I see that master section but isn't that just levels. I can't find what your talking about. Must be blind or something
Title: Re:pops and clicks
Post by: F.O.Bean on August 21, 2003, 05:14:44 PM: ummm, under your master section, go to effects and open and then hit the white box on the right, the ones w/ the #'s, once you do that, go to VST, and under that plugin, there should say 'declicker', once ya have it on, hit render and it'll process the file, quite easy, i must say, ands good luck bro.....oh, and max your 'deploper' under the declicker function and thats about it..... 8)
