Repair a damaged recording
Fix clicks, clipping, hum, hiss and harsh sibilance — with a spectrogram so you can see what changed, and a log of what was actually measured.
What it does
Five repairs for a damaged recording, each one a checkbox so you apply only what the file needs:
- Repair clicks: pops from vinyl, dropouts and bad edits.
- Repair clipping: rebuilds peaks flattened by recording too loud.
- Remove hum: 50 or 60 Hz electrical buzz, detected automatically.
- Reduce noise: steady hiss and room tone, with an amount you control.
- Reduce sibilance: harsh “s” sounds above 5.5 kHz.
After each run, What was done lists what was measured: how many clicks were found, which hum frequency, how far the noise floor dropped. Switch the display to Spectrogram to see the difference.
How to repair a recording
- Open the recording. Clicks and clipping are ticked to start with.
- Tick the other problems you can hear.
- Listen, and read What was done.
- Untick anything that made it worse, then export.
Reading the spectrogram
Time runs left to right and pitch bottom to top, with bass given as much room as treble. Brighter means louder. Mains hum is a solid horizontal line near the bottom, clicks are thin vertical stripes, and hiss is a haze across the top half.
