  1. While streaming with SoundTap V8.05 from Spotify I noticed the amplitudes starting to rise well past clipping without a warning. Being a technician, I decided to watch it to see what would happen while I listened to the source, which sounded fine. Eventually, even the quiet parts and noise between tracks got unbearable. Next time I'll take some photos. Of course, it went away with no conscious action on my part. I just resumed the project from the point where it started. Intermittent bugs are central to my life story.
  2. Wavepad v19.05 - a copied selection from one track to another is WAY TOO LOUD only after being pasted into the target track. No effects or tools are in use. Straight copy / paste. To UNDO it completely in the target track takes TWO UNDO actions, as if my paste command AMPLIFIED the selection first without my direction and then pasted it. Cut and pastes within the source tracks or within the target tracks show no unwanted gain changes. I've experiminted a bit and it seems to be a function of the target track, not the source track. The source track was created by SoundTap and dropped into WavePad. The target was an exisiting track dropped in from my HD. Many other edits were performed successfully with this source and other tracks from the same directory BEFORE this behavior appeared. It affected other targets the same way. A quick and dirty workaround for the sake of the project was to Amplify [attentuate] the source track to 50%, then paste it into the target track. It pasted at what looks like a doubled gain. Why? Update: I restarted WavePad, discarding the old project and the behavior seems to be gone.
  3. I had the same thing happen to me today while streaming from an online source. My preferred output is 320kb, stereo, include CRC. No system sounds. It's intermittent and only noticeable on playback. It sounds a lot like the random clunks and ticks one would hear on crappy vinyl during the quieter passages but the sources are all digital. I, too, tried lower output bit rates without CRC with no improvement. Then I streamed from my own hard drive audio sources that sound excellent and the new copy did the same thing on playback. I tried Find & Play for the original file on my HD and it played flawlessly through SoundTap. So I think bandwidth and volume are not factors. Obviously, the encoding is going awry and it doesn't realize it. I rebooted and tried again. No change.
