Running:

When previewing, I hear nothing, and to help mitigate, I am even using Fade in to combat this issue, but I still hear a faint "pop" sound at the beginning of my audio clips.

Any ideas?

Hello,
I believe we've heard of similar things several times already, but can't remember the conclusions sorry
What is the format of your source (audio codec, muxer) ? Is it still present if you transcode audio to wav ?
What are FFmpeg version, MLT version... ?
Cheers,
Vincent

Hey there, I am using WAV (recorded in Audacity).

As far as MLT version, I'll have to investigate...

FYI also running Kubuntu 15.10, if that helps.

Would still like some help with this if possible

Hi hmethorst,

I know the problem. Workaround: export the audio track (separate) from Kdenlive to lossless (Wave, Flac); if the noise still occurs, take Audacity for correction. (Video and audio can be packed with a suitable tool in the appropriate container.) HTH ;-)

hello, does this help ?

Hi there,

My audio clips are actually voice over tracks recorded in audacity in WAV. It is when I take a WAV and cut it within kdenlive. I suppose I can just produce individual WAV files from audacity but it's just a bit more tedious than it should have to be.

nm I see what you are getting at. Okay yes this would work but again quite tedious. Thanks

Are you inferring to the "add empty track at bottom" suggestion? I have no idea what the does but I'll try. Thanks

I think that vpinion suggests using an empty audio track. There's also the empty video track method but I don't think that vpinion refers to that.
