Some Crackling in the Render?

Hey guys. I am trying to figure this out.. So basically I am just about done this song. I send my artist this version:

http://elijahlucian.ca/produced/Jen-Home-Final.wav

Can I get somebody to listen.. "There is a bit of snapping / crackling in the audio at around 0:17, 0:19, a mouth noise at 0:21, and more crackling at 0:24, 0:27, 0:31, 0:35, 0:37.  They seem to be gone by the first chorus...


can I get any advice from yall about thisÉÉ


(DAMNIT MY KEYBOARD IS DOING THE È instad of the question mark!!!!!!)


Thanks guys. I just need to get this wrapped up. 


EDIT some BG info

Im using the latest Sonar x2 64
im using massive a bunch
im using alloy in a bunch of channels
...and i am using 2 ozones on the output (HIDES FROM THROWN OBJECTS) 

Does this matter on renderÉ I will try it! I have never had this problem before...

  It shouldn't but the amount of processing that is going on is substantial. Therefore I would try the solution. You may want to see if you can do without the extra Ozone.  

I should say the song sounds outstanding. But that is not the issue. 

Its that first core that is most likely the problem.

Hey guys, I went and froze all my synths and that seemed to do the trick... thanks for all the hints.. Just seems strange to me how having too many things to process would cause clicks in the render... isn't a render supposed to take as long as it needs to in order to export a good copy? 

especially with how my cpu was only using 1 core at around 40 percent.. kind of strange

Yeah, John I agree. I should get in the habit.. Too much tweaking while you mix and you get getting set back to square one... heh..

Thanks agian! I'll let you know if the problem comes around agian.

I hear the cracking.... subtle but there.... the track didn;t play well on this computer but I heard about 30 seconds of the track. 

Is the cracking evident in the PLAYBACK as you listen? If not, it's coming in during the export..... If it's there in playback, find it in the tracks.... solo and mute the various tracks until you find it. then you may be able to envelope it out.... or you might need some other fix/solution to eliminate it.    

If the playback is clean.....Lower your levels before you export.... pull the master output for the sound card down. It might be clipping on peaks...  the track sounded good, but loud. Don't push the levels..... you can always make it louder later.... not that super loud is important. Artist demo just needs to sound good.

Mouth noise.... lip smacks..... breath sounds.... all that needs to be edited out in the track. It's not something that you try to fix in the mastering mix stage. I use envelopes and process audio mute to eliminate those sounds at the source. 

Did you use fast bounce for your export or real time?

If the former, then a real time bounce might have solved the problem.

If the latter, forget anything I just said
