As a slightly amateur music maker, I don't have too much that I would actually consider uploading. Problem is, much of the stuff of mine that IS worth uploading makes annoying *click* noises when it loops, so I only bother uploading one or two of my loops, when I might be able to have, like, 5 or 6. Does anyone know a good way to get rid of these clicks?

Well, I typed in a long reply, then could not read the CAPTCHA, so I clicked on the sound and it killed my browser. I really hate these CAPTCHAs. And I do not understand why we have to use them since we have to be logged in to be able to post anyway. :(
Well, let me try again: Think of the image of a sine wave. It starts at 0, gradually moves up to 1, then gradually back to 0, then gradually down to -1, then gradually back to 0. And then it continues cyclically.
If you interrupt that natural cycle, for example jump from 1 to -1 (and then continue up to 0 as if nothing had happened), you get a click.
Naturally, most sound waves are a bit more complicated than a plain sine wave, but they do follow the same pattern. So, when producing a loop, make sure that it preserves the same continuity, remembering that after it ends, it keeps going from the start. So, if it starts at zero and then moves up, it has to end where it is coming up from -1 to just almost zero (since the next point will be the initial zero, and you do not want two zeroes in a row as that would insert momentary silence).
So, take a look at your loop in a sound editor and make sure it follows the natural cyclical flow of sound waves and there will be no clicks.
RedPrince,

RedPrince,
Sorry about the Captcha, but it seems necessary right now. A lot of spammers were creating multiple accounts a day and used code to spread spam as comments to sounds or forum posts.
This was annoying for both users that had uploaded sounds, but also to myself that had to go deleting their shitty spamments (spam comments).
No problem. I am a liberal,
No problem. I am a liberal, but I support the death penalty for spammers. :)
I can read the CAPTCHA most of the times, so from now all I have to do is take a look at the captcha before typing a message, and reload the page if I cannot read it.
Though, here is an idea: If possible, check if the user who is logged in has been a member for a while who has uploaded, say, three sounds and posted three good messages, and if so, skip the CAPTCHA, otherwise use it. Just an idea, of course. You do what you have to do. We're all glad to have Soundsnap!
hehe Red Prince made it all
Make sure you haven`t forgot

Some of my early stuff has that 'click' sound to it,i found a simple method to get rid of this,either delete that part of the loop,or just dont let the song go over it [as in dont expand that part out on the loop]
Hope that's a simple fix for you.
