otherwise beautiful pianissimo effect. It can also be used to remove short
distortions such as coughing, passing cars, a whistle, crackling or short drop
outs.
Spectral Cleaning can be applied directly onto the track per mouse click. Here,
however, we will explain the functionality within the effect module, which offers
more possibilities.
Here's how it works: The clearly audible noise has a different acoustic
signature than the rest of the material, otherwise it would not be clearly
audible. Based on this signature, the noise can be identified and filtered. After
it has been identified, the audio material's frequency spectrum is analyzed
before and after the disturbance. Based on this "acoustic environment",
frequencies are calculated that can be used to fill the gap that was created
after filtering out the disruptive signature. Ideally, a simulation of the "normal"
background acoustics replaces the cough, almost as if it was removed
magically.
Here's how it works:
 First, set the play cursor roughly to the position of the distortion.
 Open the Spectral Cleaning Editor.
 Try to select the distortion using the selection tool in the editor.
