New Blue Audio Polish FX

[commit]

Hello.

I was trying to use a filter to clean up my audio. The original video was of a chorus concert. I was trying to add the New Blue Audio Polish to add some Ambiance. It adds an annoying clicking sound when using the separate audio track after it was just split. I think the problem might have been that I was using the audio from the AVI rather than a separate WAV file, and also I think Dolby Digital might have interfered.

My findings were that although the audio sounded just spectacular in VS X5 while previewing the entire project, once it rendered to DVD, there were too many clicking sounds.

I was using Dolby Digital for the output. I am rendering a new project with the audio from the video entirely removed, and inserted the separate WAV file I created previously with the New Blue Audio Polish. The settings I used on the filter were that everything was set to zero (compression down to minimum) with the ambiance setting at 85 (about 3/4 around the circle). I played around with it quite a bit, and I hope this works this time. I am keeping the project at LPCM stereo to see if the problem resolves because maybe it was the Dolby Digital causing problems. I will let you know, but in the mean time, has anyone else ran into this problem? If so, what was your solution?

I was wondering if I should use the "Interleave audio and video" option in this case. I don't know.

IT WORKED!

NO MORE CLICKS! Yay! It should be noted though that I had rendered a compressed MPEG (with no audio), then created a new project, added the WAV file (with New Blue Audio Polish), used LPCM Stereo as opposed to Dolby Digital, then used THAT to make the DVD. So I am not sure if it was the compression, the Dolby Digital, or the file type, but that was the solution.

Keep me posted if you know of an easier way!

Are you using a trial version, and has the trial period expired? I think there are clicking sounds put in after the trial has expired.

I am indeed using a trial of VS X5, but I still have 25 or so days on it. I even got the updates. Supposedly, it is fully functional. All in all, I think it is too bloated for my current needs, and I want to stick with my X2, which seems to work the best out of all the versions. Plus, you can go up, but you can't come down in versions sometimes--"File type not recognized" supported, whatever, etc. when using X2 to open a .VSP file created in X5. I like some of the extra features in X5, but it just bogs me down too much. Maybe one day when I upgrade my processor (waiting for feedback on the 3rd gen. i7 Ivy bridge), I will eventually get my new Panasonic HD footage up and running. For now, I just want to get my old reels, VHS, Beta, etc, digitized. VS X2 is doing a better job than X5, and if it is because the trial VS X5 added clicks, then it is their loss because I almost bought it if it weren't for the sound problems and weight. I have actually uninstalled it just as of last night, and I have a fresh install of X2 with the Windows 7 patches and Bonus Packs, running like a top. Not only was X5 slow, but even when I was not using it, my puter was slow. Right after I uninstalled X5, my new Gateway went back to normal speed....and I even created a 10 GIG paging file.... apparently X5 does not deal with paging file memory. I will miss New Blue though.
