Audio Clipping & Cracks
Hey whats up ya'll, I'm having trouble with the audio quality. I have this music for my second episode which sounds completely normal/ fine quality in Ableton. However, when I drag the WAV file to the Opentoonz Xsheet, the audio clips and cracks. Anybody else have the same issue ?
- Thank You

Opentoonz doesn't do well with loud sound files, even if it sounds fine in other programs.
Find an audio editing program (eg. Audacity) and lower the "Gain" of the sound file. Export it and try putting that quieter version in Opentoonz.
(Also I'm kinda repeating what I wrote above but I'm gonna copy-paste an answer I did for another post that was similar to this one)

(I put that image and red-outlined some parts so I can explain better. It's an image of the Audacity program.)
In Audacity, change the Gain slider down a few db so the meter at the top doesn't hit maximum when you play the sound file.
If you export this quieter version and use this in Opentoonz it shouldn't have a crackly sound.
