audio skipping / distortion when recording

Post by mariap »

I am a voiceover artist and have been experiencing spots of audio skipping and distortion when recording long form in Amadeus Pro.

I am using a Neumann TLM103 Microphone, going into an Audient iD14, going into a Mac Book Pro running OS X 10.9.5. I am currently running Amadeus Pro 2.1.7. I was recording at 16 bit, 44.100 hz.

It happens sporadically, but today it happened two recording sessions in a row.

Here is a link to listen to what it sounds like when the audio skips/distorts:

It usually only happens once in a file. This one happened once during a 41 minute recording.

Happy to hear any thoughts or suggestions to mitigate!

Hi, I am sorry to hear about this problem. Does it also happen with the latest version,
which is 2.4.5? Version 2.1.7 is pretty old and there are a number of bugs that have
been fixed since. Regards,

Martin

One more thing: do you have Time Machine running? When Time Machine kicks in, it can sometimes
block disk access for several seconds which may lead to interruptions of the kind you are describing.
Regards,
