Abracadabra Audio Error

[Dayman 6,230]

 

at 1:57 there's an editing mistake. It seems like there's accidentally the beginning of another "A-" sound about to start, but it cuts and results in there just being a click/pop there. It's on all versions of the song. I noticed when I was listening on my speakers and thought there was something wrong with them at first. Perfect Illusion fart 2.0? Sound off below!

 

*editing to add this video showing it, because for some reason people are hearing everything except it.

I was waiting for someone else to say it

Yes, sounds like a click from the audio clip of the vocal finishing. Normally, DAWs put a quick fade in and a fade out automatically on audio clips that are cut so this won't happen.

Edit: or it could be from the next vocal starting, it's more common for it to happen at the start of an audio clip

It's a stylistic choice. It represents chaos and mayhem.

I’m not listening to this so i won’t notice it everytime i listen to it 

[qoqo 4,040]

I noticed this too

If you think this is unintentional then you don't understand the Mayhem era

this

it could also be that the reverb/delay wasn't automated as a gradual change and it just had a sharp transition from on and off on whichever track it's on, which would do the same thing

Yessss, I also thought it could a reverb tail suddenly cut

I filtered instrumental, lead, and backings and looking at them in Ableton and isolating it - I’m 90% sure it’s the start of another “Abracadabra”

Wtf I never noticed and now I can't unhear...

If I was Gaga and noticed this after the release I would never recover, or I would call all the stores and ask for an audio replacement

That's not even a mistake... it's clearly meant to be there
