aiff file that can be called back into Audacity or, when necessary, pulled into Denoise (created by the same guy who made ClickRepair) to get rid of background hiss. ClickRepair is a very capable click removal program that fortunately can do a very credible job when allowed to operate automatically on its own. aiff file (or other format) that ClickRepair can deal with.
Very few records are clean-sounding enough to export directly into an MP3 format, so that requires a translation into an. It’s edited to whack off the extra nothingness at each end, as well as any pause recorded while the disc was flipped over to side B. The first step to deal with the result is to pull each file up, rediscover what speed it was recorded at and then alter it to play properly within Audacity.

They were recorded off the turntable using Audacity, a free and quite capable audio program. Now they’ve been waiting years for me to get back to them and translate them into a clean, listenable form that could play on a computer or smartphone accessing decent speakers. When that task was completed, the digital recordings stayed intact on a reliable hard drive. Many records were worn, some were damaged, and nearly all presented the little clicks and scratches that characterize vinyl music. To cut the time needed to record each disk, they were all played at 78 RPM or whatever speed would allow them to play without skipping. Talk about intense activity! Looking back, I don’t know how I kept at it so relentlessly – except for the realization that if I didn’t accomplish recording the whole pile of the most significant works (significant to me, anyway), then they’d have to be given away quickly or trashed without, and so disappear forever. With no space to store many boxes of records, this was the only way that I could continue to listen to the wide span of music and comedy that I’ve always enjoyed. Notice the record turntable in the far corner? Once I hit the road, I methodically sawed through literally hundreds of LPs, 45s and 78s to record them into raw digital form. It all started in the Defiant’s front “bedroom”, since converted by my son into a working office and library. Hopefully the music will cover up the now reduce in volume click and the file retains its original length.The Photographic Studio and Audio Workshop at Rancho Begley, officially designated the “Command Center”. In those cases, instead of CR, I will manually find the click, isolate that wave and reduce the volume of just that one wave, doing each channel individually. But if you are working an a file from a rip in really bad shape or if they appear very close together, those missing bits can add up. If it does, you want to reduce the amount of boost or do those portions of the file separately with lower volume boost.Īnother thing I notice about CR is if a click is loud or long enough, CR sometimes actually removes that portion of the file, shortening it ever so slightly. Just be sure to run a "highest peaks" analysis before processing to make sure the music never goes above 0db due to the pre-processing boost. I don't do much (or any) Classical or New Age titles, but can see how the boost/reduce trick might work well on very quiet tracks or whole albums in those genres. I don't want to process a song or large parts that don't need repair to lessen the chance of removing or dampening something that should remain - finger snaps, snare drum hits, etc. It's the older version of Java that is required to run it.Ĭlick to expand.To be clear, I usually use this trick after I have processed the entire song normally or when the rest of the song doesn't need repair or only needs one or two fixes which I perform manually. Is this stuff just too f'ing much? I go absolutely nuts for rare psych as a collector:
#CLICKREPAIR FREE HOW TO#
I got into archiving rare psych LPs, and had to "get with the program" on Click Repair, figure out how to use it well with minimal destruction if any. I've got a lot of late 1960s Psych LPs that are not on CD, of the CDs are odd imports of mostly questionable legality. Trying to stay in and away from everyone. Since the cv-19 epidemic took over the entire world and spread like a plague, I've been doing a lot more drops of my LPs for the music server. Very fresh new stylus, NM LP, a good turntable, and a Tascam outboard recorder at 24/96, and it's spooky quiet between tracks, and no inner-groove distortion at all on this. The LP was pretty Near Mint, but I wanted to do one light pass in reverse, and it sounds like a master tape. I just did a 1973 LP tonight Chicken Shack's "Unlucky Boy" with CR. It's the older version of Java that is required to run it. Click to expand.It works in Win 10 just fine.
