This is more of a deal breaker for me as i’m into Ambient with Drones. The click starts at the loop point on my OP-1 with Drone samples.imported to Snapshots. Ive tried 2 bar 4 bar 8 bar. It makes no difference.
Ive tried delaying the attck but no good(dont want to delay anyway).
Ive tried Drive down to 0 no good.
Ive overdubbed no good
I’m at a loss. Is it just a matter of recording the drone throughout the track duration. Or fixing in the DAW? I really love it to bits but that click is destroying my love so much.
Thanks
Ps If any Ambient recording artists have found any solution please say.
This is a common issue with the OP-1. Updating to the leaked beta OS that’s floating around reduces clicks considerably or even totally eliminates them.
Thanks Jellygeist the Beta seems to have fixed it. thats a relief. But now i have a new problem…
Q1: The crossfades leave a small gap between the segments. So instead of one continous loop with NO break i get a moment of fade in and out which is not what i want. (if im missing something please say as its new to me).
Q2; And ive read that the Beta fixes the rainbow vertical line on start up. It did the first time but now is back?
Q3; One other thing is that the first time i recorded the tape was silent on playback. When i turned the OP-1 off and restarted there was sound? Is this a glitch in the firmware?

Q1 welcome to OP1’s world of broken promises. I have the same problems as you. Unless you do really dark stuff, maybe adding some noisy bits and signals on the other tracks will fix your loop point jumping. I guess you’ve discovered this by now but excessive bass also contributes to the problem.
Q2 no. also apparently the line is a diagnostic artefact so just ignore it
Q3 there are tens of glitches in the firmware. your only option is to embrace them, seeing TE aren’t particularly phased by the OP1 being imperfect.
I imported some samples into the snapshot folder 6 seconds in length.
I read on another thread somebody had the same issue. They talked about changing the noise level of the loop point with SHIFT and green. (fine tuning loop point). I havent tried this but would this work to match the sound level of the loop of in and out points. And would this work without a loop, say just copying the sample and dropping it in several times so that each new drop has the same sound level as the last one? This is so there is no noticeable difference between each part on playback. I think the term is seamless.
With sample loops you need the start & end points to be the same amplitude on the wave form - yes , try shift and Green, but also Shift and White , to fine tune this.
Much experiments needed as its not so easy to see what’s going on.
Maybe start by moving end point (white) right up to start (green) and this zooms in the visual. Now set Start (Green) to zero crossing , so half way up in the centre line- neither plus or negative amp , but zero crossing- centre . Then zoom back out by moving end point to its proper place clockwise and it shall be easiest to find a clickless location . Still use Shift and White with experimentation.
I have read on op tricks that a seamless loop can be made recording 2 samples on different tracks. One recorded in reversed then spliced together. How do you record in reverse?
But it may be nicer to try loop start further into wave form on OP-1 with Shift&Green.
Jus make sure End is zero’d for wave on Ableton.Even micro fade out maybe.
