clicks on the sub track
clicks on the sub track Posted on: 26.01.2013 by Cassidy Galindez they keep showing up at random spots in my tune. It's not the attack or release and it happens even when the track is solo'd. i removed all effects and modulations and it seems to be the spot in the track that clicks and it's driving me nuts.does anyone have any suggestions? they are really disruptive to the tune otherwise id just try to work around them using ableton as a daw and massive for my sub thanks | |

That will cause a click as the speaker resets to zero. That's why working with your release and attack to get them both pretty even is important. EDIT: Rephrased, halfway up the slope would actually mean no click... |

| Starla Lansdon 27.01.2013 | Try using only one sinewave for the sub, should be all you need. Maybe it's some kind of weird phasing-problem, who knows |
| Cassidy Galindez 27.01.2013 | 2 stacked sinewaves with a few minor effects in massive like dimension expander and some EQ. ive tried everything i can believe of im so confused why it keeps making the clicks. ive tried removing everything except the sinewave(s) and its still there :/ |
| Queen Zachariasen 26.01.2013 | You'll get more click that way. This click is where you restart the oscillator then, causing a nice fat line across the overall sub wave. How are you generating the sub? |
| Cassidy Galindez 26.01.2013 | I don't have a sidechain on my sub :/ it comes through the whole mix and is very obnoxious. i thought it was a clipping issue but not amount of volume modulation does anything to get rid of it. at this point i am debating just resampling the sub at another point in the song and using the audio clip. |
| Queen Zachariasen 26.01.2013 | This is usually a sidechain problem for me. I have a bit of a long release on the sub, lowpassed at ~150hz. If you're in ableton using the default compressor, use the fm1 model, it should help a little. Other than that, lengthen the release until it stops clicking. The click itself is caused because the waveform gets cut off by the sidechain, then cut back on at high volume, creating a square jump in the sound. |
| Berta Baie 26.01.2013 | Every time this happens to me with my bass or sub its always a release thing on my sidechain compressor. I lengthen the release and it goes away. If you've checked that and it's not, i'm not totally sure what it could be. Is it coming through in the over all mix? If it isnt...meh...don't worry about it too much. |
| Tera Baragan 26.01.2013 | Sounds like you are peaking. Do you have an eq on there with your sub 150 and under and make sure its not blowing limiters. Also is it side chained to your drums? |
