How to remove clicks when changing the content of a buffer trough a wave~ object

Hi guys,

I'm building a patch in which samples are loaded with buffers and played using wave~ objects.

Everything works fine except for clicks when changing the content of the buffer.

Is there any solution or workaround??

Thanks.

One of the video tutorials covers this. Smooth the signal briefly just before the out (just when changing or jumping to a new play position) - if the signal being played changes abruptly while playing you get a click, hence working with audio people very often fade in / out even fractionally. Can't find it off-hand but it was in the c74 youtube channel part one a 2-parter I think?

Thanks for your reply,

I have been through the channel, but unfortunately I can't find that video.

Can you please explain me how I can smooth a signal?

(Oops - its was Joel Rich's MSP tutorial, part 2 on buffer~ covers the click and what to do)
