clicks and pops in my recordings

victorsskull	Date: July 17, 2008 @ 12:40 PM how do I get rid of them or any one got some software
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: July 17, 2008 @ 5:32 PM how are the clicks and pops getting in there in the first place? ground loops/ faulty mics or audio interface (or dust/dirt getting into the input jacks etc), bad cables, or latency settings too low on the computer etc. Do you hear the pops on all your audio tracks, or just some? Soundforge and Wavelab have some tools to remove pops and clicks but it doesn't work in every situation and wavearts mastering suite vst plugs also fall into this category. First you need to find out the cause of the pops and clicks.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: July 17, 2008 @ 5:33 PM also digital overs 'clipping' can cause these problems, watch your levels !
victorsskull	Date: July 17, 2008 @ 6:04 PM latency ? I have a usbpreamp set at 80 for latency ? would that be doing it?
pog	Date: July 17, 2008 @ 6:15 PM If there are pops from touching the pickups, then you may be able to edit them out by zooming into the wave and decrease the volume on the pop only. Also, as leeds said, try and figure out the cause of the popping.

Distilled1	Date: July 18, 2008 @ 3:09 AM what soundcard are you using
evansorchid	Date: July 18, 2008 @ 3:10 AM Replace your stylus.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: July 18, 2008 @ 6:27 AM 80 what? 80 samples ? That is very low latency and USB wouldn't typically be giving great performance at that rate (clicking is a possibility), typically you would want to try 128 or 256 buffers/samples (the latter being probably more realistic) - if your audio interface/soundcard allows direct monitoring, you can use this to monitor almost latency free but won't hear any FX in your DAW while recording. If the latency is 80 ms (milliseconds) then that is a very high latency which is suitable for mixing but would have an awful echo on recording.
victorsskull	Date: July 18, 2008 @ 9:16 AM distilled/ no soundcard hooked up. just the mobilepre usb preamp audio interface
Distilled1	Date: July 18, 2008 @ 9:26 AM ahhh so your on what like the soundblaster? I can't help a whole lot I think Leeds is the man to listen to have you tried to add a chepo card like I have? I got the E-mu4040 for like 89.00 a year ago, and I tell you what it does some non latency stuff at least for guitar and vocals only, the only issue I have is multi tracking (it can and the softwear should but I am so clueless with the softwear I use a regular mixer and send the mains in and back out through it - - - issue though recording ASIO I need to seperate my monitor (outs) to just speakers or I re record the 1st track (I really need to learn all the great soft mixers I have and set it up right, but being at the moment I do pretty much live 1 take recordings it works. the 4040 is a great card, in MHO
ChillinBuzz	Date: July 18, 2008 @ 5:27 PM Vic... Stop lighting up and toking bongs whilst recording. Problem solved.
zedsalt	Date: July 19, 2008 @ 3:45 AM Oh c'mon, let's not get TOO drastic here!
GeneHilbert	Date: July 19, 2008 @ 5:20 AM M-Audio Delta 66 - very good sound card for the money. 4 phono in/out + spdif in/out. Last priced @ $189.00 Plus if your mother board is USB 1 compliant only - that could be an issue also.
pog	Date: July 19, 2008 @ 11:40 AM @ zed It may be a problem with the levels in the software for the interface. Otherwise, maybe go into the recording properties and see if the levels are too high. This would almost always cause some unwanted problemz.
victorsskull	Date: July 19, 2008 @ 1:09 PM fixed put latency to 128 all better
tsand20175	Date: July 19, 2008 @ 5:35 PM chicks and pot in your recordings? ....and the problem is.......?
