Title: How to get rid of unwanted audio blip in Audacity
Post by: Grillhappy on June 20, 2016, 11:35:15 AM

I have a purchased mp3 song that has a brief unwanted audible noise at the very beginning of the song.  I imported it from ITunes into Audacity and have been trying to get that sound out.  I have tried all sorts of effects in that area, even silencing the audio in that problem spot, but I cannot get the unwanted blip out.  Any ideas as to how to solve my problem? I have attached the audio file below.

i opened your mp3 song in audacity, i hear no blip. Song stars at 0:05 seconds and plays fine.

Thanks for checking, Sean.  Wierd.  When I play the song in Light O Rama or in Audacity, the very start of the song has this hiccup.  After that, the song plays fine as you said.  But when I sent the Audacity mp3 to ITunes, this time it played fine.  2nd time it had the hiccup.  3rd time it played fie. Anyway, I so appreciate your looking at it.  This is a purchased song from Amazon.

I downloaded the file you attached and played it with Windows Media Player.  There was no hiccup and it started right away.

Thanks for your reply.  I don't know why this is happening, but it also happened on the next song I'm sequencing.  I hope they don't hiccup during my Christmas show.  I have re-downloaded the songs several times from the original purchased copies , and run them through Audacity several times.  I still cannot figure it out.

Can you capture it with something like Screencastomatic?
