> I've had friends record German and Romanian lists. They're using separate hardware, and have recorded thousands of words before, so I know their hardware is fine. The recordings they've done today suffer from loud clicks on half the recordings, so there seems to be a problem with the recording studio. I clearly have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it, but I hope someone else will!This issue is critical and widespread.
