Thanks to everybody and thanks Tobiah for the help. I finally openned the sound sample as you said with a text editor, and looked for the copyright chunk. It wasn't there. I found other chunks such as FORM, which is in most of my samples and i don't think it's the cause of them clicks! But most probably the problem is the sample itself! And as J.M Darremont suggested i tried out diskin. The problem disappeared!!! So i suppose, transposing with loscil in stereo produces sometimes clicks depending on the sample??? The sample was transposed about 1 octave lower! and the clicks were always on the right channel and about 1 to 3 samples out of range! Anyhow as i'm concerned i will use diskin instead, but hope that the problem with loscil will be elucidated. As Matt Ingals said, it might be a problem of Ram/File size/ Os. Well, here i'm working with Macos, with plenty of Ram, and the sample size is but 1 mega big. I say this because i have used other samples bigger than that, and without problems. Maybe this clipping is a problem of phase while transposing certain sounds??? I'm no SIgnal Processing Guru(SPG! :-), i might be saying nonsense??? Anyhow thanks to everybody who helped me out, and showed me new things! karim |
