Export it in the same format and bit depth as the real LP side. However, one trick that I have used (very) occasionally is to select and export the bit of lead-in audio from the raw Audacity recording where it's easy to zoom in. I generally haven't had a problem in deNoise selecting a bit of the recording's lead-in between the 'startup' distortion of setting the needle down or starting the TT and the beginning of the real 'show'.
#Clickrepair flac manual
I'll them get back into Audacity and import the final WAV from deNoise for any manual cleanup as needed and for track splitting and final export of individual songs into MP3 or AACs (depending on destination.) Once I have the WAVs out of Audacity, I run them through deNoiseLF, ClickRepair, and deNoise (in that order). My usual workflow is export each LP side from Audacity as 32bit WAV (for further processing) and as a FLAC for archiving the raw recording. I regularly use all three of Brian Davies' tools. I have not yet critically examined your sticky in this forum. I've tried only "Default 78" at this point.

I'd like to know what settings you use on that app. I have just begun to explore ClickRepair and have used only default settings. Results indicate DeNoise is likely not preferable to Audacity and is considerably more difficult to use, primarily because of the sampling issues indicated in this thread.ĭeNoise LF definitely works very well to remove rumble and boxiness, but I'm unclear on whether it is preferable to Audacity's high pass filtering. I did considerable fiddlling around with sample files yesterday. My offhand opinion at this point, after playing with DeNoise, DeNoise LF, and ClickRepair is that the latter may be the only one preferable to Audacity. The ClickRepair app seems to work pretty well at default settings for removing "frying bacon" crackle. You can't sample within the song as you would nearly always get some musical content. No, you don't have to sample the lead in, but he recommends that as best policy. You have to fumble at it with the mouse and the lack of zooming makes it problematic-on my screen the noise may occupy only 1/16 or 1/32 of an inch wide, left to right. Since you cannot zoom in, you can't tell by eye where the groove noise likely stops and the music begins. The problem is that my lead ins are already cropped to a degree-usually under a half second, sometimes a quarter second. That window holds 12 seconds of the song in question, left to right.

The wave form is shown in that narrow window at the top of the screen. I have been through the manual you mentioned with a fine toothed comb. He confirms that zooming is not possible. I emailed Brian before I even started this thread and he did respond.
#Clickrepair flac how to
So I must be a fool for not figuring out how to zoom or otherwise quickly and accurately select minute portions of a song. I can't believe he left this out of the app.

However, in DeNoise, I see no way to zoom into the wave form, which means the lead in area is displayed on screen as no more than a tiny fraction of an inch in length-making it near impossible to see let alone accurately select just the noise with the mouse.įor that matter I don't see a way to quickly navigate around in the waveform, largely because of the lack of zooming. In Audacity, one would zoom into the waveform a bit to magnify/elongate the noisy portion and then select it with the mouse. The problem concerns selecting sound samples by mouse-typically a very brief portion of the lead in or lead out grooves of a vinyl or shellac recording.
#Clickrepair flac trial
I've just begun a 21 day trial of Brian Davies package of applications and am having a problem on a specific point concerning the DeNoise application.
