Its in the sample or if your looping through the entire violin part then it could be the beginning of the loop instead of the end. Trimming it would help but if you really can't figure it out simply disguising it by putting drums and more sounds on top of it will hide the click. Not the best solution though.

Pops and Clicks are because of sudden volume changes at the ends.

fade in/out

chop at zero crosspoint

might help.

If you stay listening to me, you'll never get any music done.
And if your listening to me that means your within earshot which means your also on the short yellow bus with me..

I chop in Logic and when you make a slice, it automatically fades each side of the slice for you.....a nice feature if the OP has logic, he could make his chops in there, or of course just follow Lamp's advice.

It´s a bug in the 5000. Zero crossing doesn´t mean anything in the 5000.

When zooming in in normal or log view and you think what you see is at zerocrossing, you still here clicks. When you press snap at zercrossing and then zoom, the locator shows up nowhere near a visual zerocrossing point.

Another annoying thing is, when auditiong-looping regions with the pads 13,14 and 16, it sounds perfect. But when you assign them to a pad later, you hear clicks and pops.

Best is to go by ear or copy the sample to several pads, create different regions on every pad and make a program.
