This indicates (proves) that, other than the clicks that have been removed, the ClickRepair’d track is identical to the original. The resulting (mixed) track contains the difference between the original and the ClickRepair’d tracks, which as you can see in this image contains only a few clicks. Pressed Ctrl+M to mix the two tracks to a new track.Select the ClickRepair’d track and applied “Invert” from the Effect menu.Both tracks sound identical except for a a few clicks that have been removed. Listened carefully to both track (using the “Solo” button to switch from one track to the other).I start with 12 17, and depending on the record I stay at this level or I gradually increase up to 40 50 or fully automated. I chose a low value for instance 14 for a good record, and a higher value for a worn record. Imported both the original WAV file and the ClickRepair’d WAV file into Audacity. Not designed for EP/LP so I haven’t tried.Ran ClickRepair with the default settings and output the file with (the default) “-cr” suffix to the file name.Opened a stereo 0 Hz Microsoft PCM WAV file.Ran the “JClickRepair.jar” file with Sun Java.Downloaded the zipped jar version of “ClickRepair 3.4 (build 4.2a)” from here:.I used the standalone Java version because I’m using Linux. My Audacity version used was 1.3.12 - ClickRepair was 3.3.1 (Build 41b) with my normal default settings (DeClick=30, DeCrackle=off, Pitch Protection=on, Reverse=on, Method=Wavelet). And listening to the before and after recordings, the soundstage and stereo image was identical in both cases.īoth Audacity’s Click Removal and Click repair dealt with the click extremely well. You can do an inversion so you can just hear the parts that were removed to see whether there is any musical content.
USE OF CLICKREPAIR SERIES
My test piece was the first sixty seconds of Sgt Pepper which has an extremely marked and wide stereo sound stage.īoth visually examining the waveforms on Audacity with before and after CR preocessing they look identical except for the click which I’ve always had at about 45 seconds in. Ive been using the Izotope RX series to remove clicks and pops (and crackles) from my 10,000+ vinyl rips for the past 6+ years. I can detect no compression or compromise/change of the stereo effect.
USE OF CLICKREPAIR SOFTWARE
Well I’ve just tested both Brian Davies’ ClickRepair software and the Click Removal effect in Audacity. I've been using the Izotope RX series to remove clicks and pops (and crackles) from my 10,000+ vinyl rips for the past 6+ years. 1… and I still heard the same compression on my track: the stereo separation effect was noticeably compromised.

I removed pitch control and reverse, I used simple method and I only used Declick level no. I have not seen anyone on these blogs notice the clear compression that ClickRepair renders on any recording.
