    Chhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Okay, I'm no pro, but I love working with dbpoweramp! I used audiograbber before, but switched to dbpoweramp. I am having a problem with ripping clean audio. I have ruled out problems on the cd, so maybe it is just me and my not knowing how to do this stuff! I am ripping audio from cds and opening them as waveforms on my computer in Cool Pro, before compressing them. The audio rips well and all, but Occasionally the waveform will have a distorted area, just a half second or less, maybe in the middle of a word, where you can see what looks like a particularly 'hot' spike, and in playing back the audio you might get something like this "yesterday, all my trouCHHHHHHes seemed so far away". Mind you, it is not on every track ripped,and there are cds where I don't encounter one glitch, but when it does come up it is really aggravating. I can re-rip the track, and it may rip fine the second time, otherwise I can delete the fraction of a second CHHHHH, but it is not always possible without cutting the word into an unrecognizable sound! If I don't catch the spot, it is awful to be listening to something spoken or sung and to hear a loud CHHHHHH out of the blue. HELP!!!!!

    You are ripping to .wav, 16-bit pcm. 4.1 KHz, 2-channel stereo when you get these distorsions?

      When doing any kind of audio processing (except playing) I always disconnect physically from the Internet and turn off any programs that have a schedule set. That way, nothing can interfere with what I am doing.

        True, chimes from Outlook Express new mail coming in, or from MSN messenger , or various program audio warnings, all will add sounds to the recording. Microphone input has to be silenced as well.

        If I use dMC Auxiliary Input, this becomes a dedicated task, requiring all my attention, so I'm not going to be doing anything else while that takes place. I've been bitten once before (don't laugh) where I was using this and I had Skype on - and lo and behold I got a rare call in right at that moment. Shrilling ringing from Skype - all recorded in full splendor :D

          er.....2 days and this guy hasn't replied....

          try getting Audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ . Open up the WAV and examine the wavelength chart thingy and tell us where the "CHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" or whatever it is, occurs.
