scanning for dropped samples

[Dave Labrecque]

Did this happen on multiple tracks at the same time, or just one?

Can't say I remember having it ever happen during multi-track recording, so I don't know.

The original issue identification was ticks here and there. If the entire sample was just missing - I don't think it would sound like anything - except for what was left.

And what is left creates a tick sound because of the incongruity of a sudden sample value jump between two relatively smooth waveform curves. It's essentially the same thing as creating a hard butt splice without regard to zero-crossover points. And we all know what that sounds like. Same thing.
