Clicking in MP3 files in FCP 6.0
Hey guys,
I cannot get a better version than MP3 in time for a premiere on Friday. Is there any way to get the clicking noise out of the track or is that just the disadvantage of dealing with such a low quality file?
thanks -

Sure you can, just transcode using iTunes or something else.

the song was imported from itunes and is doing it??? should i transcode it as a wav and pull that file into fcp instead? i know it won’t heighten the quality but will it get rid of the click?

i’m having the exact same problem. the audio sounds ‘clippy’; sometimes. I tried using a low pass filter and I think it sort of helped but yeah… do I need to be using wav files instead of mp3s? And what does the guy below mean by transcode?

It will keep it from clicking if you can transcode a with iTunes protection. I’m not sure if that works or not. Aiff is better than WAV, but bot are better than MP3.

Find the track in the Finder. Open it in QT7 Pro. Export as AIFF. Use that.

Transcode means convert from one codec to another. In this case an mp3 should be converted to a aif file @ 48khz sample rate. FCP is really only happy with uncompressed audio (aif or wav) and 48khz sample rate.
There are various ways to convert – itunes, Compressor or quicktime pro are a few options built into your system

i had luck by simply going to itunes, clicking the song that i am wanting to use and then up at the top use “advanced” and then change it to an aiff
no clipping for me anymore
