i am in the process of mastering a live album for a DJ i know. the mix sounds awesome, except the guy doing the post-mixing made some bad cuts in my, and the DJ's opinion. (since when does a mixer lay out the album anyways) We can't find the original streaming .wav file, but i am trying to combine them into a stream and just put markers where i want to cut the file so i can burn flawlessly onto CD. When i tried to lay some of the tracks connected to the next, i get a click or two. they don't do it individually on solo, but when combined they do. any thoughts or helpful suggestions. anything would be greatly appreciated.
 
Very short fade out on the end of first track fade in on on second track?

I mean SHORT like nanosecond short. :P

Worth a try
 
Or you could crossfade them ever so slightly. What is happening is you didn't edit the wav at a 0 crossing. So you have to perform a fade of some sort or else get a pop.
 
i didn't edit it the first time, but what u mean by zero crossing is that i didn't his the wave when the sound wave was at the middle line, henceforth causing distortion. is that right.
 
Yea! you have to make the edits at the point that the wave crosses the center line. Most editing programs have something in preferences like 'cut at zero crossing' . If you check that, it will automaticly do that (if you aren't zoomed in too far)
 
it took a long, long time, but i eventually remember reading that in the help file when i first got PA9. i looked that bitch over up and down, and it didn't help until i experimented with the program anyways. does PA9 have that setting?

I have no idea what a PA9 is.

Try looking for 'Snap To Grid' properties. In PA8, the scissors tool can follow that setting.
Or you can zoom way in and snip.
