![]() ![]() The other mentioned waveshaping and dynamic compression/expansion plugins aren’t really declippers, and may help on some very specific audio samples with fine tuned settings. Stereo Tool can repair longer gaps than RX. If the defect is severe, and sounds like tape dropouts, then the resynthesized waveform will remain bad in a different way, and sound dull somewhat like MP3. Light clipping, which can be heard as harshness, fuzz or distinct clicks, can usually be repaired almost perfectly. If the frequency makeup was intentionally compensated for subsequent clipping, the processed sound may become noticeably unbalanced after declipping. The GUI is demanding on CPU resources.īoth RX and Stereo Tool have their applications.ĭeclippers will restore the amplitude of whatever fundamental tone was in the instrument before clipping, and can result in significantly more bass in instruments such as kick drum. Stereo Tool needs significantly more lead-in context, to settle the detection, and doesn’t work on short selections. An important parameter is Tilt Detection, which is on by default, and in my experience leads to the plugin ignoring clipping unexpectedly. ![]() Remove DC offset (clicking) with a HiPass filter at 20 hz. And make sure your snare dont have a DC offset. Or an ADSR envelope to give a slow attack to the snare. The program has a lot more options, which can be used to constrain or relax detection of clipping. Just move the sample start point of the snare to the zero-crossing. This results in more processing to the sound. It aggressively expands the loudness of drums. This program can automatically detect clipping at varying amplitude levels, for example, if several clipped sources have been edited together, as well as soft clipping that is not perfectly flat anymore. Version 2 of the plugin is available in DirectX format, and all of them also as VSTs to be called from audio editors that are more ergonomic than RX itself.Īnother good option is “Stereo Tool” by Hans van Zutphen. ![]() The declipper has remained almost unchanged throughout versions 2 to 5. The plugin works very well on short samples or selections audio can be processed repeatedly without errors accumulating. RX does not make any attempt to extrapolate clipping of non-tonal percussion sounds. The plugin is unlikely to make the sound worse, since it affects only samples with level above the set threshold, and the rest are passed through untouched. “Izotope RX” is very good at removing clipping and is relatively safe to use on a wide range of programs. ![]()
