About a half hour per album side, but it gets almost all of the actual clicks and pops and none of the music transients. This method takes a lot longer than just using it in 'Automatic'. I will set as low as 5 for some music and as high as 60 (yes, 60) but only as a track is fading out to silence. I adjust the threshold setting on the fly as I go through the album so as to be as high as possible without falsely identifying music transients as clicks. I choose whether to accept the suggested fix or leave it untouched.

This means the software stops and lets me decide if the algorithm has picked up a real click or not. I run with the 'Automatic' setting off or set to some very low number of samples. There is no one setting that is correct for all the songs on the album. First pass in reverse, second pass in normal forward.Ĭlick to expand.I adjust the setting on the fly. The only times I send a track to get another pass is when I am going in the opposite direction. Delete the failed attempt and redo the original track over again. When you need to do a redo on a track that just did not come clean enough, up the setting by one or two numbers, and go back to the fresh (untouched) track and redo.

I did a fresh pass at 13 or 14 and presto! It came out perfect. Now with that out of the way, I have seen CR miss correcting some clicks at a setting of 12. It is not about the condition of the LP where the setting should be. A loud punk rock LP from the Ramones, or a Motörhead album with not too many ticks might need a higher setting do to the loud volume and texture of the music. The setting is for what type of music you are dealing with.Ī soft wind quintet on an import classical label with severe clicks can still be handled with a low setting.

John, something to keep in mind, the setting you choose from 3 to say 18, (to be effective) is not dependent on how bad the ticks and clicks are.
