Avoiding Clicks when Editing

Clicks due to discontinuities can be problem when editing audio. You can avoid this in Acoustica by either making sure that you make cuts where the audio signal crosses zero, or by smoothing the signal at the splice points using digital signal processing.

Acoustica provides two processes to do so:

• The Expand to Zero Crossings command.
• The Automatic Splice - De-click command.

Expanding Selection to Nearest Zero Crossings

You can expand selections to the nearest zero crossings in Acoustica with the menu command Edit > Selection > Expand to Zero Crossings.

Alternatively, you can let Acoustica do this automatically after every selection change by activating Automatically Expand to Zero Crossings from the Edit menu.

Automatic Splice De-click

Another way to avoid clicks during editing is to activate the automatic splice-declick function in Acoustica using the menu command Edit > Automatic Splice De-click.

When activated, Acoustica will use digital signal processing to eliminate clicks at every splice point after any editing operation.
