What are the advantages of this program ?

This program works different from how other programs presumably working (to my knowledge).
Therefore it gets some advantages over other DeClickers:
  • the algorithm has no parameters to be optimized/adjusted
  • the algorithm is completely level independent
  • the algorithm is nearly completely independent from the width of clicks
  • the algorithm only changes the click-part of the data
  • if the program runs multiple times against the same audio data it rarely detects new clicks and therefore cannot damage the audio material 

What are the disadvantages of this program ?

  • the algorithm cannot detect all clicks (like other DeClickers)
  • the algorithm may wrongly affect the audio material. This manipulation is normally of another kind / in another place like that of other programs so that it is inaudible to me (in contrast to other programs). But everyone can make his own decision about that.
  • Some clicks are embedded in low-frequency distorsions (plop). After removing the click it is possible to hear a 'plop' where there was seemingly none before. (This applies normally to strong scratches because the mechanical and electrical part has to adust itself after this).
  • Strong scratches are not often removed.
  • the algorithm is fairly slow

What else is to be taken into account ?

  • The wav-files to process must have the uncompressed PCM format.
  • The processed wav-files carry only the pure audio data and may therefore be smaller then the original ones (no marker lists etc.).
  • The program should be self-explanatory (if it is not please mail me).

What are the features of the demo program ?

The demo program is fully functional except for the following points:
  • there is only one wav-file to be processed at a time
  • the wav-file is processed for maximal 3 minutes
  • only samplerates up to 44.1 kHz and sampledepths up to 16 bit are processed (CD)

What are the features of the full version ?

The full version has the following additional features:
  • Operates approximately one and a half times faster
  • samplerates up to 96 kHz and sampledepths up to 32 bit are supported
  • batch-operation is possible (multiple file processing one after another)
