I have 16 tracks in pro tools that I'm trying to mix but I keep getting a popping noise when one of the tracks kicks back in.

For example...say the song starts with just track one playing as an intro and I want track two and three to come in on the 6th bar. Right as the tracks start you can hear a popping noise and it is really pissing me off. It is doing it on every track and its really phucking up my song I have someone that wants to buy it Saturday.

Is there anyone that knows what I'm talking about? and How do you fix it.

Someone please help me with this before I throw this damn thing out of the window.

either move your sample start point/track start point up a little to where it doesnt pop, or adjust the amp attack envelope so that it doesnt hit it so hard. this is when you need to learn to chop your samples clean to avoid clicks.

Pos and clicks happen due to very quick/sudden changes in volume. What cozy stated should work perfectly.

I adjusted my zero point and that took care of the problem.
