Noise Introduced into Consolidated Clips

[davidmolina15]

I consolidated several silent audio clips and after consolidating they now produce noise. I can't reduce them any further because the clip gain is already at "inf". I need several of these silent audio clips as dummy clips but when they all play at the same time they introduce very audible noise. Anyone know about it?

How can they be at inf and produce noise?

Is this an audio channel? Is it armed or having an input from an external audio source?

Is the sound only there when the clips play, and disappears when they are stopped?

how did you create the 'silent' clips?

[davidmolina15]

I created the silent clips from a part in another clip which I know was completely silent. I consolidated the first measure of all the audio tracks and after that when they all play together there is audible noise. It's not extremely loud but enough to be annoying.

There is no input source. They are all audio tracks playing audio clips. The sound is only there when they play and disappears when they stop.

I'm guessing it's because of the normalizing Ableton does when consolidating clips. It normalizes and then reduces clip gain by the same amount. So since those clips were silent, it normalized silence (very low noise floor) then reduced clip gain to inf. But it's very weird that at inf they still produce noise, but it is.

I have the same problem and also couldn't do anything about it.
I changed the dummy clips to some not consolidated ones, which was the only way to get rid of the noise.

I hope somebody has a better solution, or this bug get's fixed.

Any steps to reproduce?

Did you reset fades on clips before consolidating?
Might be clicks at transition points.
