Did you get this sorted?

Sorry for not coming back sooner! Haven’t had a second to breathe.
Got sorted to an OK level. Although time consuming, the very short peaks I sorted by cutting them out. You can tell it doesn’t sound quite right, but is better then the sound abnormality. The smaller I could make the sound cut the better obviously.
There was one sustained interference which sounds a little unprofessional when I’ve cut it out.
If I get time tonight, I’ll clip the before and after and post them.
Kind regards,

When you cut them out, are you using a video nle or an audio application (pro tools etc)

No, literally I am zooming in on the timeline in FCP and using the pen tool.
I guess there are a LOT better ways ;/

I think part of your problem there will be that video edit platforms only allow editing of + or – 1 frame, which is a very coarse amount for audio. Audio applications allow editing down to the sample, which is 1 48000th of a second for example (depending on your audio sr.) So you can see how your audio edits may well be more notiecable in an VNLE than in say Pro Tools.
Looking forward to seeing the audio clips tho??Peter

Hi, I’ve been having problems with audio spikes too, from a wired mic going through a PA system, and AUX out to XLR inputs in my camera. It happened in two different instances with two different PA’s. Are these the RF spikes that you are describing? Is there any way to avoid them in the future?
