    I use FL studio, and when I export as mp3, I get those "choke down clicks" on random places, but mostly where drum hit occurs.
    mp3s: https://www97.zippyshare.com/v/hzzK4k3y/file.html

    On mt_2 it happens on 0:41 and mt_3 it happens at 0:21 or so.


    Anyone knows why this happens?
    I use Izotope Ozone 9 to compress, if it has soemthing to do with this too.

    Sounds like over-compressing to me. Too much and too fast gain reduction. I checked the file, it only has -10.9 dB of LUFS with 0.7 dB true peak, so lower these settings, get some dynamics back. Nice track though!

    Hi.
    Thanks for the answer, I appreciate your help.
    Where do you see that 0.7 dB true peak in ozone?
    Is true peakeemaning how much dbs were compressed or something liked that?
    I put ceiling on 0.
    This is what I measured: https://imgur.com/a/X0UEgZy
    How do I compress on safe levels, what to follow?

    Interestingly, I'm measuring around -0,7TP. But I think that's what @boomoperator meant. Why your pic shows +0,6, I don't know. With a setting of 0,0TP this shouldn't happen. But I've zero experience with this Ozone version.

    TP is a calculated value for D-A conversion. That's why it's mostly higher than sample peak. How much depends on the amount of limiting.

    I'm not sure if these chokes are caused by wrong compression. Since both versions choke at different points, probably due to RR effect, it could be difficult to find the guilty.
    It may be caused by bad HD reading of single samples.

    But I totally agree in one point, nice track. :like:
