The attached song will illustrate recent problems that I have been experiencing with song transfers from my MotifXF6. All of my works are sequenced right on the XF6, and I presently have no other means for getting them into my computer than by recording a stereo WAV file to a flash drive, and moving that to my laptop. My songs now result in skipping, popping and scratchy artifacts that were, somehow, gained through that process. The songs play just fine, as I monitor the recording, but turn out to be something far less than desirable. At first, I thought that it might have been an issue with my main DAW (Reaper), but found that the same thing occurred when the songs were imported into Cubase. This particular song is an instrumental version of an original contemporary Christian composition, that I NEEDED to email to someone, ASAP.

I don't know if anyone might be able to tell (just by listening in) what the likely culprit might be, but I am SO OPEN to any suggestions.

Advanced thanks,
Nathan

Recording audio to a USB drive can vary based on the drive. Try a different USB stick - one with a large contiguous area on which to record.

No file attached to your post, btw. But, in general, distortion from overload is easy to detect and differentiate... it happens at the loudest portions, if the click and pops have nothing to do with how loud the program is, then that's a problem with the drive being able to stream the data continuously. Try a different drive.

Thanks, Bad_Mister.

I will try just as you have suggested.

I don't know what happened regarding the audio file. I know that I browsed to the location of the desired MP3, and selected it For attachment. All was looking well, until after I checked back into the submitted post. There, I saw no sign of the audio file. I then tried to delete the post, but could not. It would be just fine with me if you would remove the thread, altogether.
