Audio clicking in demo soundtracks
1 Attachment(s)
Over the years of watching high-end demos on Amiga emulation, I have noticed a phenomenon with those demos that use single big samples or WAVs (or equivalents) for their soundtracks, whereas there will be a quiet but noticeable rapid clicking in the playback of the soundtracks, most noticeable when the music ends. Not all such demos are like this, but I wonder what causes the clicking.
Attached is a few examples of this clicking, together with one example (BeamRiders) that has no clicking at all, for comparison. I am using an old version of WinUAE (4.2.0) for the demos and I don't want to upgrade as it would cause problems, but I just want to know what is causing the clicking - it can't be part of the playback routine, surely? Also attached in the zip is my configuration I use for these examples. I'm not including a log as yet as it may not even be an emulation issue. |

Will you just answer my question: what causes the clicking? |

EDIT: and both Optigan and Past is Prologue also use my (old) player, so that's the mystery solved. |

I figured it may have been a playback bug and not emulation, but I posted here just in case. Most demos with single wave soundtracks in my collection play just fine, anyway. I think the examples I put in my zip were almost all the buggy ones I have. |

I thought if I captured it myself, as I have done here, even if under emulation, it would be unmistakable, especially with Audacity here to see the clicks in the waves. BTW, I didn't record the demos just for the clicks to post here, I've been building a collection so that I can play the audio from these awesome tracks away from my computer, on my phone. |
