Which MP3 converter are you using?

Well I used iTunes at first, then I used Sony Sound Forge 9.0 and it's the same. Ugly clicky sound.

When you render the WAV in Reason, what bitrate and sample rate settings are you using?

I used 44,100 Hz bitrate and bit depth of 24.

I'm not sure what could be causing this. Those are the same settings I use, and files exported from Reason work fine for me. I encode my MP3s with LAME, so I guess you might want to try that and see if it helps.

Eh, I tried. No luck. It's weird. I used Sony to master it, and even with the clicky kicks, I saved the wav and played it in iTunes and it sounds fine. But when I upload it to the Internet it does the clicks again ;\

Oh well, as long as it sounds good on my stereo I'm ok :]

Maybe there's a problem with whatever program you're using to play back the files. I used to get clicks in Windows Media Player sometimes.

Try 16bit and see if it does the same.

Well here is the song. The first 15 seconds you can hear the thing I'm talking about.

It happens with any kick I use. But like I said, it sounds right on my iPod, in my car and on all other stereos. I just think it's weird that a perfectly fine wav file sounds different when I load it into Sony Sound Forge or when I upload it to the web.

Umm... you mean the distortion? You need to check your levels more carefully.

I don't think this has anything to do with distortion. Levels are fine.
