Hi. I experience the same issue. I found that if sound suddenly silence itself 1 or 2 seconds before the end of a clip, I just have to prolong this clip by some seconds and mute it to -∞ dB with a keyframe where it was previously cut. Then the silence bug disappears, but you cannot say it’s handy.

Any news from Izotope?

I had the same issue and didn’t find anywhere anything to solve it. Finally the solution to keep the outline on was to set up the font to bold. I suppose it makes characters more clear and therefore less complex to code.

Sorry, by internal I meant inside the storage module.
I know Aja doesn’t certify any method for this but it’s absolutely safe and easy to open the module and change the drive. Easy way to save at least 300 $ / 500 GB.

It’s possible to replace the internal hard drive. I’ve made it without any recording or reading issue. I used a fast 7200 rpm drive. You have to format it in Mac OS extended WITHOUT journaled option, in GUID Partition Table (use Mac Os 10.5 or 10.6 Disc Utility as 10.7 doesn’t allow to format in Mac OS extended NON journaled).

I’d like too a piece of advise concerning this kind of 3D path… Thanks !

Thank you very much for your help, Russ…
Here is the last test I did :

_I took a QT DV movie with strereo 48KHz 16bit sound, I exported the sound to a mono 48KHz 16bit .AIFF file I converted with iTunes to a mono 48KHz 16bit .WAV file.

_I created a new FCP project where I imported the 3 files (QT DV movie, .AIFF, .WAV)

_I can hear the 2 mono audio .AIFF and .WAV files in the Viewer without any click.

_But in the Timeline the same files produce some clicks. The Sequence audio settings are 48KHz, 16-bit, Default or Stereo Mix or Channel Grouped. The video settings are DV-PAL Quality 100%.

[I HAVE JUST SETTED UP MY SYSTEM LANGUAGE FROM FRENCH TO ENGLISH TO USE THE RIGHT TERMS IN THIS POST AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CLICKS HAVE NOW DECREASED A LOT!]

_But it remains some clicks !

_Reading the QT DV stereo audio movie in the Viewer or the Timeline / Canvas produces some clicks.

_It seems that reading the same file but with only one audio track produces less clicks than with 2 tracks.

_Anyway you can read all these files together in the same time with QuickTime Player without any click…

So for the moment I’ll use my system in English. Maybe one of these days I’ll understand the problem…

Do you thing it could be really a translation issue ?

[Sylvain Sailler]

Yes, the audio files playback without rendering.

But yesterday cuting some interviews I noticed that the clicks appears as soon as the sound level rises up. During these interviews, between two sentences, when there is silence, there is no clicks, but when the person begins to speak the sound begins to click too.

Yet the sound level as seen in the recording level gauge is not to loud (peaks at -10dB)…

Unfortunately everything is set up in 48KHz 16 bits : footages, timeline, Firebox.
I have tried on to set up all in 24 bits (footages audio converted with QT pro), what seems to be native for the Firebox, but the problem is still the same.

I tried on also without any external drive, without any positive effect on the problem.

The last thing I did is to deactivate NAP with CHUD, which make a whine noise on my PowerBook. It stops the noise but don’t improve the Firebox sound with Final Cut.
