Final Cut 7 – Popping noise when I layer audio?
I’m working on a sequence now that has multiple tracks of audio. This includes footsteps, breathing, ambience, and music. They are a mix of aif and wav files. When I play only one of these tracks (with the other tracks muted) the audio is fine. In fact, any combination of tracks played together with one or more tracks muted results in good audio. However, when every track in not muted, I get a popping noise. So the problem doesn’t seem to come from any one track. I think it has something to do with a bad render, but I don’t know how to fix it. Thanks. Hope the explanation of my problem isn’t too confusing.

Have you tried rendering? Sometimes audio combinations while require it if you mix bit rates and audio formats. It’s always the best idea to actually convert everything to the same format. FCP works best with .aif 48k 16bit

As Tony notes, make sure all your files are a standard 16bit (or 24bit), 48kHz WAV or aiff file. FCP doesn’t play well with mp3’s or variants off of the 48kHz standard.
You may try rendering your audio to have it playback smoothly, but make double sure that all your files are indeed setup correctly.

You may need to allow more tracks for real time performance.
