audio pops
I was recording acoustic guitar and sometimes the recorded audio went over 0 db and clipped, I got that anoying sound. Is there away to edit just that spot out?
sonar 8.5 studio
Thanks

not really. you can edit it with a wave editor like sony soundforge, audacity or such, but it will not sound exactly correct.
the best way to deal with it is to punch in and rerecord that phrase.

If all you've got is SONAR, there is a convoluted way, short of re-recording...
You can zoom in on the offending parts and either use a volume envelope to reduce the area to silence OR use a mute envelope OR split the region(s) into clips and delete them...
If the region(s) are small enough, (once edited)you may not hear it- especially if there's vocals or other accompaniament(sp?) going on...If it's a solo instrument, some reverb or delay can hide the "holes" left after surgery....This works for short "zaps", but not for longer notes...Palm- muted chugs can be a ****, even after carefully setting levels, even on acoustic...

another option I tried was to take the part out of another section of the song but since there is no timing to follow(not aligned to measures, just started recording guitar) I have a hard time cuting and pasting, the waveform has no empty spots so its hard to know the exact spot, I really dont know much abt this, any help would be appreciated , I do have audio snap in this version of sonar last quesion, is it always better to follow project time?

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question. are you asking for advice on how to cut and paste another section of the recording that is the same phrase as the one with the digital over on it?

Okay. Zoom in, way in until you can see all the peaks and valleys of the clip. Split the clip just before and after the pops so you have a discrete section to work on. Make sure your Snap-to settings are small enough that you can split where you want. Set to 'Absolute Time' and make sure the Zero Crossings box is checked, too. Zoom back out, if you want, then right-click the clip you just segregated. Click 'Clip Properties'. Write down the start time of the clip. Delete the clip. Now do the same for the good clip you want to paste in, i.e. split it out from the track. Right-click, Edit, Copy. Then right-click, Edit, Paste and enter the start time you just wrote down. That should get the pasted clip close to in the right place. If it's a little off, you can drag the clip forward or back (how much depends on your Snap settings), or use Process>Nudge to move it a specified amount. In my opinion, recording to the project tempo makes it easier to do edits like this.
