Clicks and noise?

I've recorded an acoustic rhythm part that has a few finger squeaks that I want to get rid of.  I split the track up into clips at the points where I hear the squeaks.  I cropped the squeaks out but I hear a clicking noise at the ending and beginning of the cropped clips.  Any suggestions...?

You can repair these clips by placing a short fade at the beginning and ending of each clip that you edited. 20 to 30 ms should do it.

That should eliminate the clicks.. Clips must be split at a "zero crossing" otherwise you will have an abrupt jump in amplitude value which is what creates the "clicks" you are hearing.

Make sure you find the "split at zero crossings" setting that Bub mentions. I think it's under the nudge area of "options". Then in the future this won't happen to you anymore.

amiller,

Try this. Turn Snap To 'on.' Then in the Snap Settings in the Control Bar choose Absolute Time and enter '1' Sample. In preferences go to Snap and Nudge and in the Snap section check the box 'Audio Zero Crossings'. Now wherever you place your cursor in a track will be at a zero crossing.

And if you hold down the Alt key with the Smart Tool every split will be at a Zero Crossing.
