I would take your original WAV and do a wav>FLAC conversion, then make a fingerprint of these (call them 1st gen FLAC)
Then take these FLACs, uncompress them, and re-FLAC them (call these 2nd gen FLAC), and make a fingerprint. The fingerprints for 1st and 2nd gen FLAC files should be identical. If they are not, it means there is something wrong with your FLAC program, try re-installing and/or updating.
Some other questions I have that might help ID where the problem is:
-To clarify, you said your WAV>FLAC>WAV files are glitching only on playback in Wavelab, have you tried playback in another audio editing program like Soundforge? What playback methods/programs have you tried so far?
- Are the glitches always in the same spot on playback? Might want to listen for a glitch, then replay over the same spot to confirm if the glitches are random on playback or if they are actually in the wav.
If they are indeed at the same spot on playback, can you see the glitch in the waveform at high magnification?
Peace,
Ben
