![]() Work-arounds for problems with FileDialogs on Mac OS X.Minor bug files. In fact, the overall interface isn't particularly intuitive and takes some time getting used to.Īll things considered though, if you're looking for an economical way to remove imperfections from your beloved vinyl recordings, ClickRepair is definitely worth a try. ClickRepair is not a noise filter it searches for, and repairs, localized damage. ClickRepair may have found a click, but under- or over-estimated its extent. This kind of intermittent noise is typically the result of damage due to scratches, dust specks, etc. ClickRepair may have missed a significant click or thump, and you may have to locate it manually. However, dragging the cursor along the sound wave produces rather mixed results with the sound jumping from one point to another which may be due to the fact that ClickRepair requires Java to work. ClickRepair is an application for cleaning clicks and crackle from audio files produced by digitizing vinyl (LP) and shellac (78) records. You can preview how your new repaired file sounds by previewing either the repaired section or listen to only what's has being removed. The program analyzes interference on the record and compensates for hiss and crackles by performing what's known as 'audio interpolation'. The program will accept either mono or stereo file formats and the maximum sample rate is 96 kHz. ![]() It is still worthwhile playing with the settings and listening to the results while setting it up though.In order to use ClickRepair, you must first capture the sound as uncompressed audio files in 16 or 24 bit format in either AIFF or WAVE format - MP3's are not supported although this is mainly because MP3s have usually lost too much of the quality in the original recording (during the compression process) to be repaired. This can be worked around by processing with the sound turned off. It refuses to continue, but can still be stopped and restarted from the beginning (without losing the settings). I have found one bug in the Linux version - sometimes processing stops when the sound is turned on to listen to samples. Until recently, I was running Clickrepair under *******, but now (at last!) I have it running on my new PC under Ubuntu. If you want the best results, you need to experiment with different settings, often for each LP. There is a learning curve for ClickRepair, don't expect to master it in one hour. The results are, in my opinion, excellent. I find it takes up to 1/2 hour to process an LP, sometimes more in a bad case. This way the repairs are completely undetectable. This way the start and finish points for the worst clicks can be adjusted manually before making the repair. I find it best to set "automatic" to around 80 or 90. ![]() ClickRepair is brilliant at correcting faults, but not so good at selecting the best start and finish point for each repair. Don't expect to let it run on fully automatic if you want first class results. ![]() I have found, though, that it is best to use some manual intervention unless you have a really pristine LP. With care, all trace of clicks can be removed, the sound is clearer, and there is no loss of brilliance. I have been running ClickRepair for several years now, and I have used it to process the sound from approaching 100 LPs. Thanks for your comments btw, appreciated. Downloader rápido y gratis ( más información) Descargar la última versión para Windows. Yes and it is not of the quality of any of the others I have noted. Kagi (Versión de prueba) Puntuación de usuario. Yes, though the one in the repo works with the Ubuntu sound server and the changelog does not warrant my changing distro for the minor improvements mentioned.Īnd btw have you tried the noise removal in Audacity? You'll probably have to compile it manually, but it might be worth the effort. I see that the ( GWC ) version in the Ubuntu repository is not the latest, so you might have a look at the latest versionĪnd check the changelog for improvements made. I had heard reports on WinForums of acceptable auto-mode from Click-Repair and am interested to hear if users of the Linux version have the same to say. Manual de-clicking takes soooo looonnngggg. It, and most others, fall short when used in auto-mode. GWC is a fine app and used for Manual restoration is as good as any I have tried. On the homepage there are lots of restoration tips.
