OK,
I'm going to start this with a primer. I am asking this question in the Recording Techniques forum because I am operating under the assumption that, as my experiences have shown me, recording engineers tend to listen to things more carefully than do normal people.
Anyway, I was listening to the newest Green Day album, American Idiot, and noticed a click. I doubt that it is due to a scratch on the disc, but I am wondering if anyone else can corroborate my suspicion.
The click occurs on track 2, during "Tales of Another Broken Home" (approx. 8:28). The line in the lyrics is "I don't feel any shame/ I won't apologize." When Billie Joe pronounces the soft "G" in "apologize", there is an anomaly.
It sounds to me like a digital clip, but I can't imagine an album costing a national record label as much to make as American Idiot surely did would be released with such an error. My guess is that maybe an early reflection in their reverb set-up just happened to cause a sort of slapping-clipping sound, but that is simply conjecture.
So...can anyone confirm that this is actually in the recording and not a manufacturing error or a scratch on my disc, and if so, what could this little tick be?
Thanks,
