I am having trouble with Movie Studio Platinum 2022. Every time I add a mp3 audio clip I get crackling and buzzing noises. Even after renders my video audio still has the same noise
Hi and welcome to the forum.
. . . . I add a mp3 audio clip I get crackling and buzzing noises. . . . .
This could be caused by the samplerate and or bitrate of the audio file being too low.
Download and install MediaInfo and analyse one of the clips and post the results, see this tutorial if you are not familiar with MediaInfo on how to setup MediaInfo and analyse a video clip.
I would also suggest you put your computer specification, Windows and program versions in your Profile, Signature see this topic for what is required and please quote processor and graphics card make/model in full - see my signature as an example.

Hi
Thanks for the MediaInfo.
As I suspected the audio bitrate at 39.4 kbs is too low being approximately 1/5th to 1/10th of that I would expect for a stereo 48kHz mp3 file ie 192kbs to 320 kbs.
You could try running the audio through a converter to get the bitrate up to the more normal range to see if this would help.

Thank you so much I guess now when i export mp3 files in audacity the bitrate needs to be on extreme.
