From frog_jr on 15.04.2006, 07:42: Pops and "artifacts" One thing with Psycle and other similar devices maybe is the pops and noises I sometimes get. I have most often associated them with clipping and have been able to reduce them with control of the volume levels. Sometimes they don't seem to be directly related to clipping though, and I was hoping I could get somebody to just expound on that general topic, for my help and maybe that of others. What causes popping noises in Psycle or other apps, and what are things to look for, or to avoid? Any help? |

From frog_jr on 16.04.2006, 21:19: I think maybe that is not what I am talking about. When I first got this sounndcard I got the kinds of pops that are associated with latency too low, and this is not as bad a noise. I tried raising it today, and it hasn't affected the noises I am talking about. |
From TranceMyriad on 17.04.2006, 01:08: what are your system specs? Have you got a slower CPU that simply may not be able to handle the processing required? Or does this problem happen with programs like Winamp and Windows Media Player as well?

From frog_jr on 17.04.2006, 02:58: Well, I don't seem to be getting my point across. This is not a latency issue or something like that. This is an issue about effects and machines making unwanted noise, and I am wondering what I am doing wrong, or what I can do to improve this. (This is an adequately powerful computer, 2.4 ghz p4 with 2 gb dual channel ram running W2k SP4.) I think some effects make noise more than others do, and I wonder what anybody else does about this. |
From TranceMyriad on 17.04.2006, 04:04: Well, what synths etc are you using? Are you talking about background noise that is present in an original sample, or noise that is produced from particular effects? If so, which effects or synths in particular?

From frog_jr on 17.04.2006, 06:30: Thanks for responding! ATM 2 instances of Loopazoid with fairly clean drum samples; a generator called Surface makng nice metallic ringing noises, and That's it for generators. I am running Pooplog delay, 2 instances, mgTempodely, 3 instances, Freeverb two, mda limiter, Superstereo, Nilpat, mjRotodelay, endorphin, that's most of it there. I have mostly been able to tweak until I find a spot with no pops or fuzz, eventually. I just wanted to ask if anybody has any tricks or favorite filters that help reduce these noises. |
From TranceMyriad on 17.04.2006, 09:16: If it's background noise, a noise gate is what you want. If it's other intermittent stuff, you *may* be able to get rid of it with a carefully tweaked multiband compressor, if you can narrow on in the particular frequency (although if you've got other stuff in there with the same frequency, obviously it's going to be altered as well). Also, a basic parametric EQ will do the trick if it IS the only major sound in a that high end frequency range.
