clicks while looping in sonar

I've had trouble with certain acid loops and all loop recording clicking at loop junctions. I usually just set a drum loop down, play a couple rounds of verse/bridge/chorus chord progressions on a single track, and then cut, paste and duplicate the better portions to a separate track. I split the original track at the beginning and end of a measure/s(ie. 5:01:000 to 9:01:000), repaste it in a separate track, then duplicate and adjoin the loop without gap. Maybe it there were a few ms of overlap this wouldn't happen? Or maybe I have to do very brief (couple ms) fade outs/ins at the ends of the loop?

Has anyone had similar problems or have ideas how to solve this?

Thanks
 
If you run a search in this forum for 'zero crossing' you should find hundreds of threads that will help you create click free loops.

I do mine mostly by using different fade in and fade out effects down at the millisecond level. Works really well, just takes a bit of playing around with to get it perfect.

Hope that helps! :)
 
mtardif is right about the 'zero crossing'.

'zero crossing' appears in the snap to... when you select the 'snap to', there is a chek box with 'zero crossing'. Basically, if a wave form doesn't end or start at 0db there will be an audible click... what you are hearing. If it is cut at 0db, there won't be any audible click. If you are using the select function, I don't think it will lock to the 0bd cross point, it will lock to the time you input.

I zoom in all the way in every single clip and do a small fade in and out; this has gotten rid of more than half of my clicks!!! It might be tedious when doing projects that have over 30 tracks, each with sometimes dozens of clips, but it works.
