I think the higher bit depth and sampling rate give click repair a better chance of identifying clicks and pops instead of music transients.Įdit: Also, when looking at the Clickrepair preview window, if the highlighted portion is at the leading edge of a transient, you can bet it is a "false hit". I find that using the semi-automatic method, I can get good results in about 15 - 30 minutes per side of an album. If you can't make out any of the beat, then you are probably getting only the random clicks and pops. Play this back and listen for any sign of the original beat of the music. The result is just the stuff that Clickrepair removed. Just open both files in Goldwave, invert one of them, and mix (1:1). This takes a lot longer than a fully automatic processing, but I find it lets me get rid of the clicks and pops in the quieter sections of the music while not touching the transients when things get loud and fast.Ī trick I use to validate that I am not processing too heavily is to use Goldwave to subtract the original file from the processed file (or vice-versa, it doesn't matter). ![]() Then you can adjust the threshold so that it is stopping on clicks and not music. Set this fairly low and the program will stop and let you examine each repair to validate that is a click instead of a music transient. This lets you set a limit to the number of consecuctive samples that it will repair automatically. So I have settled on using it in "semi-automatic" mode. I spent a great deal of time playing with settings at first to try to find that "magic" setting. Bluegrass, with lots of plucked instruments seems the worst, but it is always a trade off between setting the threshold high enough to get rid of the clicks, but low enough to not affect the musical transients. ![]() I find it depends a lot on the type of music I am dealing with. Well, you are likely to get a million opinions on this question.
