Declicker/Decrackler
The Declicker efficiently eliminates any crackling and clicking sounds, as they
are typical in scratched LPs.
This function can be very efficiently used in the "Object FX" mode, if the
clicking sounds are not present on a whole, but just in some isolated areas.
First, you will have to find the damaged areas using the track window. Once
you've found a damaged area, make a cut in front of it and after it, using the
scissors-tool, so that you obtain an independent object.
Activate the "Object FX" button of the small object, so that the Declicker will
only be applied on the area with the clicking sound.
Marker Declicker
Alongside normal crackling on a vinyl recording, there can be some more
noticeable ones on a record which is scratched. If the DeClicker is set highly
for those sections which are particularly distorted, then it can seem that
several components of the desired signal will be treated by the DeClicker if
they exhibit similar characteristics of the distortions.
To avoid this we recommend setting the DeClicker at a lower setting and
removing the sharper pops/clicks with the help of the "Marker DeClicker".
These sections can be set using a click marker (Set click marker). The special
"Marker DeClicker" affects the audio material (when activated) at these
positions, and the normal DeClicker can be used for the remaining material.
"Search clicks" allows you to search the entire project for especially strong
clicks and have them marked automatically. With the "Sensitivity" controller
you can set the sensitivity of the search, i.e. the higher the level the more
clicks will be found (according to intensity).
Especially strong clicks and audio disturbances can be removed with Spectral
cleaning (view page 81) (deluxe version only!)
