contains a one of a kind function to remove digital or analog clipping. Anybody who records audio has
encountered this one before. The perfect live recording contains clipping at the most important moment.
This alone may render the recording unusable!
MAGIX music editor 2
uses high-grade algorithms to interpolate the passages containing the clipping. The algorithm uses the
material before and behind the clipping as a reference point. Once processed, the total volume level for
the material can be reduced to prevent further clipping.
The declipping algorithm is especially useful for material that contains obvious clipping, such as a piano or
voice recording. Distorted drumbeats are normally not salvageable.
Minimal Level of Clipped Samples
This setting determines the volume level the algorithm considers offending material. There are sound
cards that exhibit different clipping behavior and this setting becomes an important issue. Some DAT
recorders have an analog protection mechanism so that the level never reaches the digital maximum
signal. In these cases a setting of –0.5 dB or lower make most sense.
By entering a value of –6 dB all samples above half of the digital maximum are considered ‘distorted’
and are recalibrated. Even analog distorted material can be improved with the algorithm.
