When being in the mastering (but also mixing) stage and you’re looking for short pops/clicks, which made it into the final version, I often have to repeat playback multiple times to check if the pop/click was only because I started playback somewhere in the middle, or if it is really part of the audio.
Yes me too. But usually this is not a problem at all, because to remove this click at playback you usually only need such a small fade, that it wont even affect anything besides it.
Example: You’d need such a feature when listening to drum transients as they are to edit them in a way you need them. Ok, I get that, but with a introduced artificial click/pop on playback over the transient you hearan as valuable information as with a fade, so in that case you could also get rid of the pop entirely as well.
That I agree. But Cubase could really need some additional on/off settings to improve a lot of things.
With this mindset no changes can be made anymore to anything in this program.
So is there any news how to fix that issue? I guess Cubase needs some kind of an alternative to Reaper’s “Flush FX on stop” and “tiny fade in/out on playback start/stop”
You arent understanding the post. These arent normal pops or clicks that need attention. Its a more like an unnecessary click that the play back itself makes. It really has nothing to do with the audio or session but similar to the noise of flicking on your light switch. Its a bad handling of the audio. You don’t hear a clickpop when you stop or start playing a sound/instrument…
@projectseventyone Thanks for your attention, but the original post is definitely about the click that occur when we start playback in the middle of a waveform, and @Hans-Olav understood that perfectly.
