The original files from the Tascam can now be deleted from the computer system (assuming the DVD+RW got archived).įor the next step the files are read into Audition, while Audition itself is configured for internal 32 bit / floating point accuracy. After the time invested with declicking it is always wise to make a backup to an independent disk. wav format, and outputs them in the same format. Still, music from the likes of Kraftwerk remains a challenge to declick!ĬlickRepair reads files in any. Using this flow, automatic up to clicks 10-20 samples wide (for a hi-res recording at 44.1kHz I put the limit at 10 samples), manual/visual above that, combined with a low detection sensitivity (5 to 10), I can process an album side in 10 minutes or so, while remaining confident in the sonic outcome. are repetitive: when I see such an artefact twice or thrice in a couple of seconds, I know it is the music itself and I omit correction. While there is a preview/prelisten feature I never got to grips with it, but I found after only a short while that many real clicks are visually distinct from real sound, obviating the need for listening! In those cases where it is too hard to see directly what it is, I found that false positives often follow the music's rhythm, i.e. Alternatively, it allows you to edit the repair manually. If the presumed click exceeds that size, the program stops, displays the waveform, and asks you to decide if it is click or music (clicking Accept then makes the repair, while hitting the return key skips to the next click). ClickRepair has a programmable detection threshold, and lets you have automatic repairs done to clicks up to a specified duration or number of consecutive samples. For me it is the only sonically transparent tool that still allows a reasonably fast workflow.

The solution I finally settled for (after started the development of my own click detection and repair algorithms in Matlab!) is a semi-automatic method using ClickRepair.ĬlickRepair is a shareware application for PC and Mac, written and maintained by Australian retired mathematics professor Brian Davies. In my experience, and I test-drove a lot of them, none do their job without significant damage to the sound. Some of these tools work reasonably well.

There exists software that does the job fully automatically, such as the declicker in Audition. A valid method, but soooo tedious and long-winded as to be impossible. The safest option is to do it manually: play the track in an audio editor, stop when a click is heard, zoom in on the waveform, and manually reduce the click's amplitude or simply cut it out. In fact it never made any previously-cleaned record sound any better at all!ĭigital click removal then. And yes, I've always treated them well and kept them clean, graduating through several record cleaning methods including B&O, Knowin/Knosti, Allsop, and since 2004 a Nitty Gritty RCM, and no, not even the RCM is a panacea. Half of my record collection is second-hand, but even the LPs I bought new all too often are marred by clicks and pops. But my stance is that it would be a shame not to remove at least the worst offenders, now that it is actually feasible to do so. After all, they are a fact of life in this game.

I know that many people find vinyl clicks and pops virtually innocuous. Once each album side has been recorded as one 88.2/96kHz and 24 bit file my first processing step is click removal. Vinyl Archival - part 3 Meet Ze Ripper - Part 3 The process flow
