1. Crossfade: Using this mode, the noise signal will be replaced by the signal immediately
surrounding the selected area.
2. Transitions (hard): This mode behaves like "Crossfade", but has a more powerful effect.
This mode allows you to suppress disturbances more effectively. Make sure that you select
the disturbances very precisely.
3. Gap: This mode is especially suited to very short drop-outs.
4. Dampen: With this mode, you can dampen the selected disturbance. The surrounding
audio material will not be calculated into the process. This does not introduce any artifacts,
but can lead to an unnatural silences, or even drop-outs. Use this mode only when the
noise is present in a very narrow frequency range or when the surrounding signal is very
quiet.
5. Fade-in: This mode acts similarly to the "Dampen" mode. The signal will not, however,
be uniformly dampened, but rather added in. Frequency-selective fade-ins can be created
in this way.
6. Fade-out: In this mode, the selected disturbance will be faded out across the timeline
according to the selection window. Use "Hide", for example, to remove noise at the end of
a track.
Level: Use this control to specify the degree of change. If the knob is turned all the way to
the right, then this equals a level of 100%.
Note: The "Edit selection" and "Level" settings can be controlled for each selected area
individually, or as a multiple selection using "Ctrl".
Resolution: Determines the resolution of the applied FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation).
Lower values often produce a more effective removal of the disturbance, but result in more
tonal artifacts.
Channel left/right: These buttons show you the corresponding channel in the
spectrogram. If the disturbance only shows up in a single channel, then you can switch off
the other channel.
Spectral cleaning - Click markers
To mark special positions and quickly skip to or delete different selections in the
spectrogram, use the spectral cleaning's "Click marker" button. You can set or remove
new click markers via the buttons in the middle of the lower row. Any click markers created
will be indicated by a "C" in the editing window's marker bar.
