Removing noise
In Edit View, you can use effects in the Noise Reduction menu to reduce background noise
and broadband noise without reducing audio quality.
Using the Auto Click/Pop Eliminator effect (Edit View only)
If you need to quickly remove crackle and static from vinyl recordings, first try the Auto
Click/Pop Eliminator effect. You can easily select and correct a large area of audio or a
single click or pop. This effect provides the same processing quality as the Click/Pop Elimi-
nator effect, but it offers simplified controls and a helpful preview.
To use the Auto Click/Pop Eliminator effect:
1 In Edit View, select an audio range.
2 In the Effects tab of the Organizer window, expand Noise Reduction, and double-click
Auto Click/Pop Eliminator.
3 Set the desired options.
For more information, search for “Auto Click/Pop Eliminator options” in Help.
Using the Click/Pop Eliminator effect (Edit View only)
The Click/Pop Eliminator effect detects and removes clicks and pops. Like the Auto
Click/Pop Eliminator, this effect is ideal if you want to clean up the sound of vinyl
recordings before transferring them to CD or another digital medium. The Click/Pop
Eliminator, however, provides a much wider range of controls, letting you highly
customize settings for unique audio content.
For this effect, the most important parameters are the Detect and Reject thresholds. (To
enable the latter, you must select Second Level Verification.) For Detect thresholds, try
settings ranging from 10 for a lot of correction to 50 for very little correction. For Reject
thresholds, try settings ranging from 5 to 40. Run Size is the second most important
parameter. A setting of about 25 is best for high-quality work. For the highest quality,
apply the Click/Pop Eliminator in three successive passes (where each pass is faster than
the previous one).
