 Once you've selected the distortion, click on "Play". The algorithm becomes
active immediately: The selected area is filtered out and replaced with
frequency material from the surrounding "acoustic environment".
 Can you hear an improvement? If not, change the selection. The selection
should be as small as possible. Localize the audio disturbance by trial and
error.
 Once you are satisfied with the result, click on "Calculate". Up until now, you
merely experimented, but now the settings will be applied.
Tips: For information on the individual buttons in the editor, please read the
entire documentation (available as PDF manual or program help file). You can
also access a tutorial video that explains the workflow directly from within the
Spectral Cleaning Editor.
The Spectral Cleaning Editor might seem a bit complicated, but it's a very
effective tool that previously was reserved for pros. Therefore, it's worth
investing some time to familiarize yourself with this tool.
Cut out undesired passages
Now let's take a look at some special kinds of audio disturbances. A typical
example would be the noise of a microphone knocked against something by
mistake or even any kind of crackling, crashing, rustling, which can't be
removed satisfactorily with Spectral Cleaning, because it's too irregular.
These kinds of noises as well as longer undesired passages can be cut out
using the scissors tool in the left-hand corner of the track window.
 Select the scissor mouse mode.
The mouse pointer turns into a pair of scissors. If you move it
across the track, the playback marker moves with it.
 Play the audio track and search for the section that you want to
cut out.
 Click before and after the section to cut at these points.
