:scratch2:Ĭlick to expand.Wave Corrector Professional does indeed support 24 bit recordings up to 96 kHz. The regular 16/44.1 is more than plenty to accurately record them, and the file size is way smaller, which also shortens NR processing time greatly. Sorry, vinyl fans- I love 'em too, but vinyl barely has even a 60 dB S/N ratio, most cases only 40-ish. If your intention is to make a CD of the record, then I posit that the downconversion from say 24/96 to 16/44.1 will introduce more errors than not having to convert at all, without adding much if anything to the sound quality of the finished result. I only record at higher than 16 bit/44.1K (the normal CD rate) if the customer would request it. I will be a contrarian to some others in one aspect though, unrelated to the noise reduction, which is the sample rate/bit depth. It's surprisingly easy to hear when the music is being affected vs. The previous suggestion to use the monitoring option that allows you to hear just the content being removed is an excellent one- that's what I do when in doubt. I run most of the time at 20 to 30, as many of the records I clean up for customers are very noisy and it gets easy to clip out music along with the noise at higher settings. The default click/pop removal setting of 50 works best on records that are in fairly decent shape, with only occasional noises, but the more noise there is, the lower the setting needs to be. See what you think.I'm a big fan of Click Repair, but like any software for noise removal it needs to be used judiciously. Diamond Cut has a fully functional free trial. Some have 60 cycle hum, tape hiss and other anomolies that I'm able to quickly eliminate. I'm digitizing some "Living Letters", reel to reel tapes a friend and his family shared while he was stationed in Korea in the 1960's. I've compared my restorations of certain records to commercial restorations using the CEDAR system and mine are as good and sometimes better. I have a fairly large collection of 78's and because of their increased noise level it takes a powerful software tool like DC8. However, if you need to do more extensive work, it has a set of expert tools that allow you to fine tune filters to get the best result without degrading the music. It has a series of "EZ" tools that will cover 90%+ of your needs. They continue to make improvements and the latest version, DC8 is well worth the price. I've been using Diamond Cut DC Art software for at least a decade. I thought I was doing a good job cleaning my records until I started using a vacuum RCM. Seriously, a good cleaning with a vacuum record cleaning machine will be the best noise reduction technique you can use. Again, you need to fiddle with the settings a mite depending on the recording condition. If you already have or purchase the software for editing you may find the declicker suitable also. If so, you just abort the processing, reset the controls, and start again.īTW, I mentioned Nero Wave Editor before the declicker it has actually works fairly well. It's fairly easy with a little practice (and especially headphones) to hear when the processing is too aggressive and the music is getting removed along with the noise pulses. One nice feature (that other programs may have, but I can't comment on those I haven't used, of course) with CR is that during the processing operation, you can select to hear just the noise output- what was removed. While ClickRepair work very well with many recordings on the default settings, reducing the declick settings from the midpoint (the default) to a lower setting causes the program to miss some minor clicks but excises the larger ones without disturbing the rest of the audio, at least to my ears. Taking the time to experiment with different settings for different recordings is crucial on any software NR system. Maybe long term users have had better luck with different settings. *** You could tell it was edited (subtle.but you could tell on a detailed system).they sounded fine in my car stereo.
