I'm reposting this as a new thread since I'm not sure anyone saw it at the bottom of the old thread. I'm experiencing slight audio crackling on render from either 4.0 app, and I believe I also see this on record into Acid. Not sure about record into Vegas. Here's the details:
It occurs from Vegas 4.0e, from from Acid 4.0f, but not from Vegas 3.0 build 76. Here's how I can reliably reproduce it:
In Sound Forge 6.0, create a new 44.1/16 stereo file. Insert 20-30sec of silence. Then adjust the DC offset to something easily visible like 10000. Save as the test file. Open Vegas 4.0, create a new 44.1/16 project. (not sure if this matters)
Open the test file onto track. I didn't touch or add
any effects. Make sure all levels including master buss are 0dB and render to new file. Open in SF6.0 and playback. Other
than the initial click which is expected, there should be silence. Instead, I see slight crackles on the right channel only.
They appear as single sample depressions below the correct DC level. Barely visible but audible. Same thing happens in Acid when the track is set to beatmap. When set to one-shot, the depressions go all the way to zero, so are much more audible and visible. Again only right channel. I had to run the beatmapped test twice, the first time I didn't get the problem, but the
second render did. But previously I saw depressions all the way to zero from a beatmapped render. In all of my cases so far the beatmap and project tempos are exactly the same.
p.s. the reason I did this with a DC offset (silence) is that inspecting my original problem track which was rendered piano (beatmapped), I heard the crackles but had a hard time finding them. Once I did, they were one sample depressions to zero from either north or south. So the DC makes it much easier to see and hear.
Sony, can you reproduce it? Anyone else getting this kind of behavior?
