will check that,
thanks for the emails folks !
[edit]
got several sounds from JuanSith to compare (version with and without clicks).
here's an example of the clicks that are *actually* in those files, and you definitely hear them on the computer, even without headphones. Juan convention is to start the sound with a lower wave form and ends with a upper wave form, so they should match. He said he had to "remove a few ms of sound" to fix the click.
I'm posting those pics to show there's no "magic" or voodoo dance to execute naked on your workbench. In most of the case I've seen in the past 2 days, clicks were due either to the nature of sound (looping issue) or simply because the beginning or end of the file weren't clean enough.
In some cases, you need to remove just a few samples manually, sometimes I'll just edit the waveform by hand to get the zero crossing right
incorrect zero crossing / waveform glitch
waveform doesn't start at zero (not critical since it's an ignition sound). It's the ANH poweron2.wav
Looking more closely, the rough start (no fade in) of the sound is due to the mixed hum that overlaps with the beginning of the sound. So, some of the sound beginning can be either removed or get a short fade in.
ANH hum. Subtle (but easy to hear) click at the end of the hum, creating a pop when hum is looping.
so, again : just look at your waveforms, and forget about the click removal magic recipe (which consist of removing 1138 samples at the beginning or the end of the sound) ;)
and if you don't hear those pops on your computer, use either one or the complete set of those :
- turn the AC off
- use headphones
- use "proper" speakers
- turn the volume of your amp to 11
- get new ears on ebay
