Help stop the clicking

[slip]

I just recently started working with cool edit pro 2 to try some music production, I have spent much more time doing live recording with protools and am actually much more comfortable in that enviornment but I would like to learn this new tool.

Here is my problem:

When I attempt to manipulate an audio file, I get audible clicks at the end of the track. If I try to play a range of a prerecorded audio file i get a click at the end of my selected range. If i move the range the click moves. If I trim the click off the end I get a new click.

I thought perhaps it was a problem with my sound card on this box (audigy 2 with the open al beta driver) but I noticed when i tried to splice on a measure to the end of a sample I was working on that not only did the click at the previous "end of the track" remain but there was also a click at the new end. It also appears as if the waveform is being altered at the trim/splice points and dosent reflect a true cut at my intended cue position

I have tried manipulating files with the "Smooth Delete and Cut Boundaries" and the "Smooth all edit boundaries by crossfading" on the settigs>data> tab both on and off and all combos of the two and I still get clicks all over the place.

Please help! Anbody have any ideas?

i used CEP2.0, and eventually got adobe. both enough the same for me, i guess.

a demonstration is in order here...take a 9 volt battery, and the battery clip, ending in bare wires...touch them to a small speaker, and you get a click when you apply the 9vdc...and when you take it off, too.

you only get noise out of a speaker when the voltage is moving up and/or down...a steady voltage does nothing, except ruin youre center.

lame definition, but...music has "smooth sine waves", on the waveform outpout on the screen. Its pretty much like an oscillioscope...the height of the waveform is like the height of a voltage. ANyway...a click is a sudden jump UP or a sudden drop DOWN...like when you suddenly went from 0 to 9v, then from 9v back to zero witht eh battery and speaker.

really ZOOM in, as many zoom clicks as it takes, to really get in on the "subatomic" (lmao...) microscope view of the edit point that has a click...I bet you find a dropor jump, where the wave jumps or drops to hit the other one...

i believe this is fixed by selecting a checkbox somewhere on a menu for "auto zero crossing edits"

this means that any edit point, will cross the zero line, and the start point just after it will be forced to start at zero there....zero voltage is "no click", and this avoids the jump or drop that i believe might be causing the click,

i could have just said "try finding zero crossing edits" checkbox, but then you wouldnt know WHY the clicks occurred...if this is what is dong it...lol

You'll find the "zero crossing" option in Options/Settings probably under the "system" tab. Look in your manual, and it will explain how it works and how to do it.
