You can quickly learn to recognize if the suggested repair is at the leading edge of a music transient, in which case you want to skip the repair. By setting this limit very low (like about 10-20 bits using 96k sampled recordings), Clickrepair will stop and highlight every repair it is suggesting. For this, you set the threshold and other settings like you would in automatic mode, but you set a limit to the number of consecutive bits that it will repair without your confirmation. The same thing can be done using Audacity.Īfter many tries to find a good automatic setting in Clickrepair that I liked, I finally started using it in "semi-automatic" mode. But if you hear anything that resembles the beat of the music, you are attacking the fast transients and changing the music somewhat. If you hear only random clicks, pops and noise, then you are good. So then you can play that and compare it to the music. This leaves only the things that Clickrepair changed. Then I invert one of the files (doesn't matter which one) and "mix" (1:1) the two tracks. To do this, I load the original and the "Click-repaired" files both into Goldwave. I use Goldwave to compare the music before and after processing with Clickrepair. It depends a lot on the type of music (and how picky you are of course). I found that if I set the sensitivity high enough to get rid of all the clicks and pops, that I was sometimes removing the fast transients of the music. For some albums that is possible, but I find that for most of the albums I tried, I could not find a setting that worked for the whole album. The trick is to find settings for the sensitivity that remove the clicks and pops, but do not affect the music in any way. Clickrepair can be used in a fully automatic mode to relatively quickly clean up a record.
