Audible pop after removing a drop out -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Audible pop after removing a drop out Posted by: MikeA Date:12/27/2015 11:11:27 PM I've been working in both Sony Vegas and Sound Forge doing some mixing and editing to a friend's song that we tracked. I kept noticing small drop outs in the vocal track so I opened the it in Sound Forge. The 1st drop out I removed worked great, it flowed perfectly and I couldn't tell anything. The next 2 however retained a very audible pop or click after I removed the drop out. I tried extending the amount beyond each edge of the drop out I cut out and it still didn't remove it. I then tried fixing it with the pencil tool. Still no good. I even tried the Click & Crackle Plug In and it only reduced the level of it but you could still tell it. The edit looks fine. I can't see any problem with it at all but there's still a pop. I even made sure I was on the -Inf line on both ends of each edit I tried. How do you get rid of that pop after you've taken out the drop out?

What I don't understand is why "Zero" isn't the norm - and you would Select "Non-Zero" only when you need it . . . . . When using the Drawing tool for example. Most-times I haven't noticed much difference, although the Counter does change, showing I wasn't quite spot-on. Another way would be to "Snap to Zero" which would make life so much easier. I'm using the Studio version - so need all the Help I can get !!!
