On the other hand, the Clicks and Pops, Clipped Signal, and Silence analysis types tend
to be momentary and isolated rather than constant. If part of an audio file or selection
contains a large number of clicks and pops, for example, the analyzed waveform might
display the entire region as being problematic, rather than each individual click or pop.
However, when you fix these problems using the Fix button, Soundtrack Pro correctly
fixes each individual click or pop.
