**Problem**: I have a \~2.5 hour long episode I recorded in Hindenburg Pro. Most times I try and export to WAV I'm getting weird "hiccups" where the audio skips a moment. Its driving me absolutely insane and I am desperate for help. **PC**: * I just spent $1k upgrading my PC to an i9, new PSU and 32gigs of good, high quality RAM, all assembled by Microcenter (so its not a faulty installation issue). **My effects are as follows:** 1. Noise reduction (dial turned to 6 out of 9) 2. RX 11 De-Click (Sensitivity at 5, single band, no changes to frequency skew (its at 0.0) 3. T-DE-ESSER 2, set to high end, processing kicks in at -25.5dB, sharpness at 7dB, intensity 4.0:1 4. Compressor set to slightly above the '2' (out of 9) **Other Context:** * In 'track 2' below my recorded audio, I have about \~1 min of random background noises (intro song, some nature sounds for immersion)--randomly throughout the 2.5 hour episode * All my recorded audio files Hindenburg is pulling from are on the same drive. * When I export to WAV, I select Stereo and -16LUFs (to normalize it to the sound level i want). Now, for context here, because I'm new to this I manually edited a lot of breaths and clicks down, so I didn't use Hindenburg pro's auto or magic leveler, so I'm exporting at -16LUFs to get it to the right level. * I turn off chrome and everything else I can while it exports. My PC has a robust cooling system. I am desperate: what can I do to fix this? I keep making minor tweaks trying to try random things but I cant get these weird artifact glitches out of my audio.
