Re: EchoplexDP Plus: "tick-tick-tick" noise problem

[Gunnar Backman <brakophonic@telia.com>]

Hi

2 Q
When I looked at the Mp3 file in Peak there were  "ticks" ( 4 )in the 1 and
7"ticks" the 2 place
( 6)"ticks" in the 3  , (5)"ticks"in the last place 
is this due to the looping or does it appear like that in a longer loop ???
the noise didn't clip 0 Db, is this the case in the original file as well or just a Mp3 thing ?
