Every time I render my music in Samplitude Pro X4 Suite there is popping or clicking going on in the final bounce. I'm not sure what to think or do. The rendered files are about -7 dB. The popping and clicking will occur at different points throughout the rendered track. For example, I rendered 3 different times, and the artifacts were at different spots on each of the three renderings. I have no idea what the issue is. I use FabFilter plug-ins for mixing/mastering, and sidechaining within these plug-ins. As an aside, when using sidechaining in Acid Pro 10, the program crashes during rendering - every single time - and the rendered file is missing elements of the song each time. However, no issues with rendering are heard/seen in Acid Pro 10 if sidechaining is unused.

I'm using an I7 9th Generation 3.0 Ghz to 5.7 Ghz clock speed PC with 16 GB of RAM.

I have no idea what to do. I mixed this track, my first track in Samplitude Pro X4 Suite, for about 3 hours and there is a deadline, but I am unable to actually finish it because the renderings are filled with popping and clicking artifacts. Help would be awesome. Thanks.
