If the noise is in the audio file, then cut the audio in the arrange page so as to lose that noise.The strange thing is that the noise is not in the audio region. It occurs in an empty space before the audio region (a beat or two before).
If you do that, and the noise persists, it can be the "buffer flush" noise that I was talking about the other day. In that case, try starting your playback a bar or two earlier than where actual sound takes place in your song.I thought something like that might be causing it. But, I start playback 8 bars before the region is played and still get it.
If those two things don't work, then try muting the entire track and seeing if you hear the noise when you play. Maybe its coming from other track you think is muted, or some midi instrument. If you hear nothing, then do it the other way - solo that track.Did that too. What's happening is Logic is reading the region too early, but for only an instant. It then shuts off the sound quickly, creating a burst sound. It doesn't do this with any other region, only the first instance of it (and replacing it with another doesn't work ether).
I think this is just one of those idiosyncratic bugs in Logic. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Any other ideas, let me know.
Kind Regards,
Dave
There must be an answer. And it won't take long to find.
