Thank you Scott: I have determined that the popping problem, that John H=
artog fixed by
editing, and you diagnosed, was indeed caused by some sort of digital clock=
foul up.
I originally transfered my DAT tape 16 bit files to my Logic Pro 7 Editor i=
n 24 bit, 96K
sampling. They had originally been recorded at 44.1K. Popping. Pop. Pop=
.
I redid things this morning, this time transfering the same 16 bit/44.1K ta=
pe in 24 bit,
Message: 44.
Subject: 1K, with the synchronization function set to "auto enable external
sync.=
"
This time I got no popping at all, after transferring an hour of recordings=
.
The occasional popping was not on my recordings on the DAT tape! They are =
fine. It was
on my hard drive. It was caused by some sort of syncing problem it seems. =
Perhaps only "dufusses" like me go between 44.1 K and 96 K. I thought if=
you could take
a 16 bit recording and edit it in 24 bit, you could take a 44.1K recording=
and edit it at
Message: 96K.
Subject: Perhaps that makes no sense. Do others do that?
In any event it is nice to have the real recordings, not the messed up reco=
rdings.
