Audio clip affecting sound from another audio clip

Help/How To
1

Hello, hope you’re having a good day.

Getting straight to the point, I’m adding 2 audio clips on separate timelines, such that they play simultaneously, but the sound of one of them “Bass drop sound effect”, is causing the sound from the other clip to chip and glitch…

Any idea how to make them sound as they would normally be separately, but played together?

Thank you for the help!

Hi @Majace

Are these chip and glitch still there after you export your project?

Shotcut adds the audio from all the tracks together. If the clips are already close to the audio limit, then adding them together can make them go over the limit. Have a look at the Audio Peak Meter to see if they are clipping. If they are clipping, then you should add the Gain/Volume filter to each track and reduce the gain by 3db.

Didn’t try now that you mention it…
However, I did do the thing @brian told me to do and it worked! :smiley:
Thank you for the reply btw :slight_smile:

It worked! :smiley:
I lowered the volume of one of the clips. (The bass drop clip)
And that made the other clip audio clearer!
