Audio glitches or “Pops” in Sound Forge 9 recording
I record 30 minute vo over sessions for training presentations. Recently I started encountering digital “pops” or glitches in the recording. I have not changed any SF settings or hardware changes. It doesn’t seem to coincide with a level change in the narration. Is anyone familiar with a bug or any possible solutions? I have tried audio restoration and crackle fix but they don’t do a good job of deleting a digitial pop in the audio track.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
Will

Here is another bit of information. To eliminate the mic and xlrs, i played back a clean audio session from last year via windows media player and recorded it in sound forge. When i played it back, I got glitches around 18:00 and 25:00 minutes into the session.

OK
The glitch goes right through the spectral display of the audio, so its not acoutsically generated.Izotope RX does a pretty good job of eliminating it.(on the sample you posted. Not 100% but way way better than the original. Nothing that a low wash of some relaxed music wouldnt mask.
I dont know whats causing it, but id be checking the demmands on your RAM / CPU. It may well be a bussing issue where the pc is struggling to record and store the data.

Peter,
I think you’re on to something. Macs I use don’t seem to haver this sort of problem, but I have seen it on PCs.
Also, if the work is being don on a computer with only one hard drive and not enough ram, this sort of thing can happen.
Check the recommendations of the software for what sort of minimum platform they suggest.

Thank you for your feedback.

I have Audacity on my computer. Is it a good enough program for recording voice overs? I don’t use Sound Forge for anything other than audio capture.

set it recording and then hit ctrl + alt + del to bring up the task manager. look at system performance and what processes are running, just to see if the machine is copeing easlil. Also, are you recording audio to the c drive. That is a big No no. Always run just the operating system and software on c: and audio rec and playback from another drive, internal or external.
Let us know what you find.

Any thoughts on using Audacity as a software for recording VO for training courses?
