I then split the recording into songs and export multiple per this description.

Having done this for both LP sides, using the time shift tool I drag the side 2 recording onto the side 1 track.

Get a noise sample from the lead-in groove before the music startsĪpply Noise Removal with Noise Reduction no more that 12 dB (I usually use 9 dB) Frequency smoothing 300 Hz, Attack/decay time 0.25 secsĪpply the Amplify effect again (the removal of clicks and pops will usually mean you can do further amplification without clipping).

Import de-clicked and de-cracked file back into Audacity, deleting the original recording Process the output of ClickRepair again for de-crackling Process with ClickRepair for removal of clicks and pops

While you're there you might as well download DeNoise and DeNoiseLF and try them out, comparing them to what you can do within Audacity.īe prepared to spend some time reading the manuals and experimenting with the software, to determine if what these programs do in comparison to Audacity is worth the time and expense for you.Īmplify (not Normalize - Amplify boosts both channels equally, Normalize boosts each channel independently)Īpply the High Pass Filter, 24 db/octave roll-off, cut-off frequency of 20 - 30 Hz (gets rid of sub-sonic garbage) It is nothing short of magic at removing clicks, pops, and crackle without damaging the audio. My favourite is ClickRepair available here:

In case you are wondering, I am no relation to the author of ClickRepair, and I paid for my copy! It is still worthwhile playing with the settings and listening to the results while setting it up though. 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.
