Which is the best declicker plug-in or standalone software?
I have tried many of them and one of the best combination seems to be Soundforge + Noise Reduction plugin. I'd like also to remove some clicks left in my copy by the cds200 protection. Thanks for your advices, Giņ |

there is no straight forward answer. they all have their pros and cons, though the ones i have tried and really liked were sonic foundry's NR2 and waves x-click and x-crackle.
you might also want to try deglitch by bryant. |

I've used the one that comes with Audition/Cool Edit Pro with a fairly good success rate.

My favourite Denoiser:
Sonic Foundry DX Noise Reduction My favourite Declicker/Decrackler: Waves Restoration Bundle (X-Click, X-Crackle, X-Hum & X-Noise) If applied correctly, the results can be absolutely brilliant ... and I really like the "residual" preview that lets you hear what will be removed during processing in real-time. -------------------- The name was Plex The Ripper, not Jack The Ripper

You can use Deglitch if the clicks are caused by ripping.

Thanks john33, this gui reaaly helped me but this tool did not recognize all the clicks in a "cactus protected" wav file.
I tested some of the declicker program you all linked to me and the most impressive results I got with Noise Reduction 2 by Sonic Foundry used in combination with SoundForge. This seemed to be the best choice for me. Really accurate and non intrusive. Thanks for all your advices guys! |

I second the use of Abobe Audition. It has a manual glitch remover that has saved my bacon a few times. I have SF as well but in my experience AA works better.
AA is not cheap...nor is Soundforge for that matter but nothing free is realy that good afterall. rs -------------------- Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. Jerry Garcia-Grateful Dead

as far as i'm concerned, the best hardware/software ever for audio correction/restoration is sonicsolutions nonoise.
it provides high level declicking and decrackling, automatic or manual (through a customisable detection process). it detects and identifies then allows multiple types of correction for a huge number of different clicks, cracks and pops. it's also a well-known mastering station. however it's as expensive as it is powerful, and only available on macintosh... sonicsolutions has released a plugin version of their 'nonoise' for protools. it's a less-expensive solution but still very powerful. but you need a protools... else i would advise the 'noise reduction' plugin of cooledit pro which performs a good job, although you have a lot of tests to get rids of the specific clicks and cracks. cu, pipo. (sorry for bad english) |

(sorry for bad english) i heard some CDs that were restored with no-noise and i really didn't notice anything special about them. personally i don't see any advantage in using it, especially when products like waves restoration bundle does the job extremely well for a fraction of the cost (even though waves restoration is pretty expensive itself at 1200$, but no-noise audiosuite/tdm is not far off at 2000$).

Goldwave does a good job for me (it is free to try...full working demo.) It also allows DirectX plug-ins if you want to use the Wave plug-ins.

The automatic declick on SF NR-2 is way way waaaaay better than in CEP/AA. In my experience - mainly with 78s. The de-crackles in the X-waves bundle is better too. Neither is perfect. The manual "Fix single click" in CEP/AA is great though. I can't believe no one has mentioned CEDAR! Cheers, David. |

For correcting impulse noise on LP cuts, I've found Wave Corrector's automatic declicker to be the best I've tried. It's faster than CEP or Goldwave and creates fewer artifacts. It generally finds and repairs 1500 - 5000 clicks per 3 to 4 minute track in about 10 seconds.
However it still does miss a few pops. CEPs "fill single click" function fixes the rest and its noise reduction filter cleans up a lot of surface noise. Wave Repair is also supposed to be good but I haven't tried it. |
