Disgusting pop sound in FL export.

This is the first time I've come accross this.
Although the playback from within Fruity sounds perfect, upon render, one, lone sampler-generated random arpeggio makes an insanely loud, sporadic popping sound.
It only does it when the arp's note slide function is activted, which I need activated to keep the envelope of the sampler intact. When slide is off, there is no pop, but the effect I want is lost.
Ever heard of this before? Any way to cure it... or am I going to have to record this track via wave editors? ... *sigh* |

| Well, this shouldn't matter if the track plays fine, but I guess it could be worth a try to turn up your buffer time. |

| It's definately not a speed problem. |

this is a problem with your sound card's latency...
go to options/audio settings and slide the buffer length thing to the right until you don't hear any pops or crackles |

He's talking about after rendering, not during Fruity's playback.
I'm stumped :conf: |

You can only go so far with latency... even when it is the problem. However it is clearly not the case here.
Playback is perfect, rendering throws irritating pops in to the mix. Here's the render itself: http://www.djglacial.com/pop.mp3
It sounds just like a really horrible sound effect. It is actually coming from the quickly oscillating pad sound (which is, again, a slow, simple arp.) There are several at the same time as it is a chord. I suspect it has to do with a built in FL lowpass in the sampler but I cannot be sure. I assure it has nothing to do with VSTs or any other instruments, it comes about solely from the arp. It comes about every 30 seconds or so... I don't mean there is a pattern, just that it's not frequent.
Anybody encountered this before?
If all else fails I'll just record the track, but rendering is much more convenient... usually. |

sorry.. i didn't read the thread properly and was assuming it was playback...
But actually, there might be several things to look out for...
First thing, check if you accidentally played something that you didn't want to accidentally... usually when you switch windows or whatever, you may click on a dot in the step sequencer and cause a note to play by accident in a pattern
Second, try rendering the specific channel itself to see if it's only the synth that is causing the problem... try using another synth
Third, you said that it probably isn't the VST's... I would advise you to check again... A lot of demo VST's tend to make annoying click and pop sounds to play so that you will buy the full version...
Hope that helps... I made those suggestions after hearing that sample and guessing what might have gone wrong |

Believe me, it's none of those... it's several bars into a pattern (which eliminates any chance of it being a dot of whatever) and I've rendered w/o ANY vsts whatsoever with the same result...
When I said it was the sampler on arp setting with slide turned on, I meant that exactly.
I need the slide on to keep the instruments envelope intact, or else the arp plays on, applying the envelope to every note, rather than all of them on the whole. Get me?
There must be a solution to the problem.
I'll just remake the instrument then, hopefully w/o the problem reoccurring... I was hoping to find a solution so as to avert this in the future.

I don't know that latency can affect rendering. The computer takes as long as it requires to render, rendering render glitches attributed to latency impossible. |

could it be clipping?
sometimes in FL clipping doesn't show up during playback, but shows up very prodominatly after rendering. |

clipping with delay??
what version of fruityloops ar you using?? maybe you should check the fruity renderer, play with the preferences (HQ for all plugins etc...) or maybe theres an external renderer for fruityloops |

Oldschool FL 3.6.
It's definately the sampler's arp slide.. I just don't know how to correct it. |
