Random pops during playback

[Ty Ford]

Tony,

OK. I hear no pops or clicks.

I suggest you not choose 32-bit floating. You don’t need files that big for your work.
24-bit or even 16-bit should be fine.

It could be that your playback system is choking on 32-bit.

No pops for me either. I agree with Ty, you don’t need 32 bit at all. Try it again at 16 bit and see if you still have pops.
Your file did have some DC offset, but not enough to cause pops for me.

Maybe I described the noise with the wrong word, but there’s that type of electric shock sound. Could that just be because I record in 32-bit float?

Tony,

Again, no noises in your file.

Yes, recording and/or playing back 32-bit files on a system that can not handle it because of its data limitations can result in bad things. Bigger is not always better.

As I suggested before, try recording at 16 or 24 bit and see what happens.

Here it is again, right before I say “Uh” at the end. Recording on 16-bit. Very small dot was on the waveform. This time, recorded on Adobe Audition. Need to get rid of these small pops. Any help or advice would be great.

it’s a 1 second clip. I can’t even tell what’s going on.

As I said before. I think it’s in your playback system. The file you posted before that I listened to had no problems.
