popping when selecting sections of regions

[brawn]

Hi,

Im new to pro tools. Ive noticed there is sometimes a popping and sometimes no popping when
I select a portion of a region to loop. It seems random to me. Is there a way to ensure the edit contains no
popping.

I thank whoever answers.

It sounds like to me, the popping you are hearing is because the start/finish of the selection you made is not at a zero crossing. You either need to adjust the start/finish of your region selection to coincide with a zero crossing, or cut the region and fade it if moving the edit point is not an option. An easy way to visually check if your edit hits a zero crossing is to zoom in really far and look at the waveform. Hope that helps.
Peace
Kelsey

Hello,
I'm new to Protools also but I have used a number of other DAWs. Is there any way to set PT to automatically do a zero cross at edit points/ Seveeral other systems offer this feature. Do I really have to hand adjust or crossfade every edit?
The program seems a marvel in many ways but redoing each edit seems a little like tedious torture. I'm hopeing I just can't find the setting yet. Thanks all.

I found out (through others here) that an option is to

Select region which includes all the edits and hit Command+F for a 4ms fade on all the edits.

(just the f key in keyboard commnd focus works the same for the sake of us newcomers to the program)
