Hello all, I've been trying for about a year to track down a problem and nothing has seemed to work. If I end up with a completely clean audio file, I can reload it and end up with numerous 'clicks', which are shown in the data window as spikes. When zooming in, for all the world it looks just like a data dropout or garbled bit. Since there were other problems with my system at the time, I have eventually replaced the hard drive, op system and motherboard! I currently am running Win98, Pentium II 400mhz, 8g EIDE hd, 128m ram. It is *very* frustrating to work long and hard on a file and find that even saving and opening it will show up glitches. This is most problematic as I have now installed (finally) a CD-RW, and I can get files ready to burn, only to end up with noisy files on the CD! I am, after having spent MANY hours on this problem, ready to try another sound editor. If anyone has a clue, please let me in on it... Best, Jon |

Jon, I'm working im the same problem, running about the same "stuff". Up to now, installing a dedicated HDD for .Wav files only, I get a good recording (no clicks, drops, etc.), but I have still problems playing back the files. When they are ready, I convert them to Session where there is (and never was) any problem.
