crombie Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 I'm cleaning up a pretty good soundboard recording that I have which has some clipping on the hi end. Any suggestions for "fixing" these clips? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Hm. I don't know if there's a way to fix it. You may be able to find a filter that will round off the sound at the high end...I dunno. Maybe something designed to kill the pops in a vinyl recording? It'll still sound weird, but maybe not as jarring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferenc Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Some audio software packages - e.g. Soundforge or Cool Edit - do have clipping restoration options. Maybe there are stand-alone softwares as well - try some net search with keywords "clipping restoration". They try to figure out the clipped part by extrapolating sine waves. It is sure that you have to fiddle around a lot to get good results. (Once I tried such thing with Cool Edit on a downloaded file. It was some jazz-rock type music with electric piano, clipped due to bad transfer probably. It turned out even after lots experimenting that the piano tones "rang out" of the music as clear, loud sine tones. So finally I decided to left it as it was.)

sanaka Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 CoolEdit was bought by Adobe last summer and is now called Audition. I've had good luck with the clip restorer in many cases. It won't make gold out of manure, but it's cool. Luck, Sanaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbraunius Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I'd suggest CoolEdit as well for minor fixes. You might also have some minor luck with eq if you only need to hit certain frequencies -- see if you can narrow them via spectometer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
