Static sound

On one sound recording, when bouncing the mix, a static sound persists.

I checked another song and bounced a mix to a single track and there were no issues.

So it is only happening with one sound recording not others.

Everything is normal when I play it back through the monitors.

I tried changing buffer size, and the issue still persists.

Are you using Offline Bounce? Do you have any open Aux tracks in the session?

[Treblecorp]

There are no open aux tracks. When I bounce, I go to File > Bounce. I haven't changed anything in my workflow

Sounds “song specific” to me. What do your levels look like on your Master fader?

[Darryl Ramm]

Does this happen for online and offline bounce? (try both, any differences, even subtle?)

Are you bouncing the exact same outputs you are monitoring while mixing? (easy to not do say if you are monitoring on headphone sends).

Is this static equally loud/constant though the whole time? Or does it come in bursts or is somehow modulated?

Some demo or not correctly licensed plugins will inject static noise often in short bursts.

Regardless, in a copy/tests session (do a Save Session Copy In) simplify the test session, remove tracks/sends etc. seeing if you can get the bounce to works OK.

Hi Treblecorp,

I created case 04711512 and coordinated this as well with our tech support team.

If song A has static, and song B does not, what plugins are used in A that are not in B? Some plugins make static or noise when they lose authorization, or are running in Demo mode, so this is worth a look

I fixed it by deleted the track and creating a new one
