Yea I just googled it, your right I think. But I'm not sure what this problem would be called.

Ah yea, that was defiantly the problem. I had small fade-ins but I guess they weren't enough. Cheers!

Edit: Ugh wait no its doing it still. It's weird, when I put the sample in a specific place on the arrangement it pops.

When you zoom in on your waveform, does the start of the sample start above the zero crossings mark? You are always going to get pops if it starts mid way. Fades will take care of this, or you need to edit it to where the waveform comes to the zero crossings naturally.

So this problem would be called phasing right? Just want to know the technical term.

Nope. Phasing really isnt even a technical term. You have superposition, which can cause constructive or deconstructive interference. Being out of phase would cause a drop in audio and give it a weak tinny sound. Pop is due to waveform editing errors.

It happens when you cut audio in random places, rather than on the zero crossing.

If you cut on zc, you usually won't need to fade in and out

Sorry missed page 2, on phone here.

Passion punch is correct. Find a audio editor that lets you snap to zero crossings, and problem solved
