Title: Invisible click in recording? (sample)
Post by: page on June 14, 2009, 10:51:04 PM
See sample. In the right channel, there is an audible click/snap/pop. I don't *think* it's clapping, I'd hear something in the left if it was just by the nature of the beast. Its only in the right channel, and this was recorded with a coincident mic so I inverted the track, merged it with the other channel to see where the pop was, but it doesn't show up as a difference sound.  >:(

what might have gone wrong?  ???

edit: sample is zipped cause TS still doesn't allow flac files.

I listened to that a couple of time and put it on a wave editor and saw nothing.

Me too-could hear or see nothing that shouldn't be there.

I hear it...and see it (2374 ms into the recording)...yes in one channel...sounds like static or something.

I was wrong. I do hear it, once digifish assured us it was there and I rechecked. Still can't see it in my editor.

Still can't see it in my editor.

Thats it, I can't see it.... I tried inverting the track and merging which if the sound was really in just one channel, should have caused it to show up as a spike and it didn't then either. I think I found 9 of them, but after about 15 minutes into the recording there weren't any more (and I didn't hear any during the opener either).

I hear it...and see it (2374 ms into the recording)...yes in one channel...sounds like static or something.

I would have thought static would have yeilded the spike. Problem with the cable (e.g. something got past the shielding, cable wear, etc) or something else a possibility?
