Annoying Pro Tools Sound

[affinitysound]

i got a question...i load pre set drum sounds into pro tools so i can filter ands compress them and some drum sounds have too much hiss after them. so naturally i cut from right after the kick and on to get rid of the hiss, but everytime i cut it..when i play it back it makes this annoying metronome like click right where i cut it off. what is causing that???

just crossfade it out------highlight the end of the region and extend it beyond the regions border---then hit "apple F"-----you'll see it fade it out----you should do this anytime you have edited to regions together also----the click is caused when a piece of audio just STOPS---cause your not giving the waveform a chance to properly decay....

Did you try Crossfading on the track at the cuts? I'm pretty sure what your hearing is the popping on each cut.

Daw's like Nuendo do this automatically after you make a cut edit. PT is not one those DAW's that do this automatically.

i dont what the name for that is but it happens when you sample bass drums or any deep sounds its like a cutoff. i hate it because if you sample the 808 kick its hard to get that pop out at the end of it....... i use a mv 8000 for my drums and samples and i just keep making changes to the smallest digit back and forth until i can't hear it or until it is so low you can't really tell what it is........

make sure you cut it at a zero. ... X axis.
