![]() ![]() For my own part, after I transcribe a given side, I will run through it visually, place a marker on any obvious glitches then fix them up manually by either re-drawing the wave form with a pencil tool or using interpolation very sparingly, depending on the situation. It is for this reason that I largerly eschew them as Bruce appears to. It is very easy to create a test scenario where you run a segment through the software, invert it, do not hear any music but then when you actually do the processing, the music is very obviously effected, sometimes dramatically. Even though most of the programs have an "inversion" function, I'm not convinced they don't touch the music, however small the effect may be. What's your opinion on recording in DSD and converting to PCM for editing using something like DSD Master or Saracon? I think the DA3000 produces better results this way. ![]() The downside is that it takes a (very) long time to do this. The effect is very small and for a noisy record the I think trade off in reduced surface noise is worth it.īased off the above, it seems the best way is using the manual interpolate function in RX to remove anything audible which interferes with the music. Second result was that I feel that both algorithms have the effect of closing in the sound a bit. RX5 is too aggressive, even with the lowest setting I think it's making way way way too many fixes to things which are not audible. First result was that I still feel that the current version of ClickRepair (3.9.5) is better then the current version of RX (RX5). I built a DIY ultrasonic (Elma P60H + vinyl stack) machine last year and that was one of the best things to happen to my vinyl replay.Īnyhow, prompted by this thread, I did a some listening tests over the past few days. Pros: Nothing better at this price point.Ĭons: UI not very intuitive - takes some getting used to but works well once you get figure it out.Yes I completely agree getting the record as clean as possible before starting is a must. Can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Then a software de-clicker has a good chance to work. If you want to successfully 'repair' your records you should throughly clean them and use the best quality recording possible. Too much of the original waveform has been destroyed. ![]() This is rather silly! You can't expect to repair a lossy recording. He also complains about the lack of mp3 support. That is incorrect! There are several options to preview the results and in real-time: listen to the corrected music, listen to only what's has being removed, etc. The editor states there is no there is no preview available. In addition, there is a 21 day trial period, so you can try it for free before buying. Click repair has multiple state-of-the-art algorithms to remove clicks from records. The only better options are profe ssional tools costing $500 and up. This is a great program and arguably the best available for home use. In fact, the overall interface isn't particularly intuitive and takes some time getting used to.Īll things considered though, if you're looking for an economical way to remove imperfections from your beloved vinyl recordings, ClickRepair is definitely worth a try. However, dragging the cursor along the sound wave produces rather mixed results with the sound jumping from one point to another which may be due to the fact that ClickRepair requires Java to work. You can preview how your new repaired file sounds by previewing either the repaired section or listen to only what's has being removed. The program analyzes interference on the record and compensates for hiss and crackles by performing what's known as 'audio interpolation'. The program will accept either mono or stereo file formats and the maximum sample rate is 96 kHz. In order to use ClickRepair, you must first capture the sound as uncompressed audio files in 16 or 24 bit format in either AIFF or WAVE format - MP3's are not supported although this is mainly because MP3s have usually lost too much of the quality in the original recording (during the compression process) to be repaired. ![]()
