Default ProTools or Cool Edit ? ? ?

Hi,

Neil,

I've been working on CEP today and when I do a copypaste I always get
little 'click' sounds that almost sound like old LP scratches.
No matter what I do I can't get rid of them. I get them on the front and
back (I'm not sure of correct terms) of the paste.
I've tried to analyze it and the only way I can get rid of them is to

delete
past them, in other words highlight in front and right behind and delete

it.
How ever I loose notes (of my playing) by doing this.

It's things like these that I was hoping ProTools would be better about.

Follow Bob Cain's advice. To augment what he wrote, those clicks are due
to ends of your edits not falling on zero crossing points. The smoothing
options correct this. There is also an option to force zero crossings in
edits, but that would take some understanding to get right, as artifacts
could be every bit as annoying as the clicks.

I'm not suggesting that CEP / Audition is the tool for everyone. It's a
particularly good tool for those who prefer to deal with audio via the
fundamental aspects of sound, rather than from convenience features like
sliders or knobs. With enough work, you can configure CEP / Audition to be
'convenient', but I'd really suggest that at a minimum you read the
excellent manual thoroughly to get a grounding in digital audio and the
CEP tool set.

Regards,

Neil
