Declipping
Samplitude 11.5 Producer contains a special function for removing digital
clipping and analog distortions. Who isn't familiar with this situation? You've
got a flawless live recording, but the decisive sections are overmodulated,
rendering the recording useless.
Using sophisticated algorithms, the overmodulated passages are interpolated
based on audio material surrounding the clipping area. The entire volume of
the material can then be reduced so that the interpolated parts can be played
back without overmodulation. The De-clipping algorithm is particularly suitable
for audio material with clearly audible overmodulation, e.g. distorted piano or
vocals. The sound of overmodulated drumbeats on the other hand is hardly
ever improved upon.
Min. level of clipped samples: Here you can enter the level at which the
algorithm will consider a sample to be clipped and correct it. This is important,
as different sound cards show different clipping behavior. Some DAT recorders
have a protective analog switch, so that the level never reaches the digital
mains. In this case, a value of -0.5 dB or less is suitable.
With an input of, for example, -6dB, all samples above half the control level are
registered as overmodulated and recalculated.
This way, material damaged by analog means can also be repaired.
