De-click

The De-click module has three tabs: De-click, De-crackle, and Interpolate. All three are useful for repairing a wide variety of clicks, pops, and crackle, and even distortion artifacts.

3. Apr 18, 2019 RX has earned its place in the mastering engineer's toolbox thanks to its surgical precision. This helps engineers nail the sound they're going for within the strictly limited expanse of the audio mastering world. Here are five examples of recent mastering sessions where iZotope RX took on a more creative audio mastering role.

De-click

IZotope's RX Series is one of the most widely respected audio restoration software tools used by audio professionals around the globe. Now in its fifth edition, RX5 has the ability to enhance, repair and restore problematic production audio with even greater accuracy and more advanced features. De-crackle is designed to treat continuous. RX 6 Overview. IZotope’s award-winning RX 6 Audio Editor is the industry standard for audio repair, restoration, and enhancement. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools focused on alleviating common to complex audio issues.

De-click’s sophisticated algorithm analyzes audio for amplitude irregularities and smoothes them out. This means that you can use De-click to remove a variety of short impulse noises, including clicks caused by digital errors, mouth noises, interference from cell phones, or any other audio problem caused by impulses and discontinuities in a waveform. Here’s a recording with clicks before, and after click removal:

Algorithm

Controls the interpolation processing quality and configuration depending on the type of clicks and pops in the audio.

• Single-band: processes quickly and works well on very narrow 'digital' clicks
• M-band (periodic clicks): multiband processing for removing regularly repeating clicks with a wider spectrum, or regular clicks that have concentrated low or high energy (like thumps or optical soundtrack perforation noise)
• M-band (random clicks): multiband processing for wider vinyl clicks and thumps, with a protective algorithm for preserving periodic audio elements characteristic to certain instruments such as brass or vocals

Click Type

Changes the De-clicker controls to address specific kinds of clicks.

• Click: the default setting of De-clicker. Optimized to handle most clicks
• Thump: skews the click detector frequency response toward lower frequencies to tackle thumps
• Discontinuity: widens the click processing range to smooth out clicks caused by waveforms that change suddenly in amplitude

Sensitivity

Controls the sensitivity of the click detector.

Low values of this parameter will remove fewer clicks, while higher values can repair too many intervals which can result in distortion.

Frequency Skew

Tunes the frequency response of the click detector. Lower values will tune De-click to handle more low frequency thumps. High values will tune De-click to detect and process more clicks in higher frequencies.

Click Widening

Controls the processing region around each detected click. Increase this to cleanly repair clicks caused by discontinuities or other digital waveform problems.

Clicks only

Outputs the difference between the original and processed signals (suppressed clicks).

De-crackle

When an audio signal contains many clicks close together, often lower in volume, this is described subjectively as crackle. De-crackle is very effective at removing these types of audio problems, often after De-click has removed the worst offending clicks.

Quality

Controls the processing quality. Low quality offers fast processing; Medium quality will remove periodic, quickly repeating clicks; and High quality will help preserve the tonal qualities of a signal.

Strength

Controls the amount of crackle that is detected and repaired.

Amplitude skew

Skews the processing toward higher or lower amplitude crackle. If the crackle accompanies transients and other high-level signal passages (such as during clipping), set this control more to the right. If the crackle mostly happens during low-amplitude signal passages, set this control more to the left.

Crackle only

Outputs the difference between the original and processed signals (suppressed crackle).

Interpolate

Interpolate is used for repairing individual clicks, below 4000 samples in length. This mode replaces your whole selection with the replacement signal. It can be used instead of the 'pencil' tool found in another software.

Quality

Defines the interpolation order, which controls how complex the synthesized signal will be. Changing this control can help interpolated audio fit into its surroundings.

Instant Process Tool

The Instant Process Tool offers a smart De-click mode, which instantly applies the active settings from the De-click module’s De-click and Interpolate tabs. Simply put, you may make any selection, and this mode will automatically remove all clicks present in that selection, which is particularly useful for editing a dialogue file, mismatching sample rate clicks and pops, and vinyl clicks.

If you’ve made a selection under 4000 samples in length, this mode will automatically use the Interpolate algorithm, and above 4000 samples, it will use the settings from the De-click tab of the De-click module. This is by design, as the De-click tab is effective on selections above 4000 samples in size, as it is able to identify clicks in relation to desirable audio, and then intelligently separate and then remove the clicks. Below 4000 samples, it is likely a small selection of an individual click, and Interpolate will fill the selection with audio information based on the surrounding audio.

When using this function as part of Instant Process, the settings you have engaged in the De-click and Interpolate tabs of the De-click window will be applied. For example: if the De-click tab is indicating that the preset ‘Remove mouth clicks’ is loaded, these setting will be applied every time you use the Instant Process Tool in ‘De-click’ mode on a selection longer than 4000 samples.

Tutorial on Commonly Used Modules

This is our 3rd article on iZotope’s audio repair tool RX 7.
We will continue to look at editing using different modules.
Though many modules are included, I have chosen a few which I find personally useful and common to take a look at.

De-hum

First take a listen to this sample.
https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Hum_Crackle_pre.mp3

We can hear a low humming noise as well as a constant crackling sound as well.
Lets try to get rid of these.

We will be using De-hum to remove the hum noise.

Hum noise is usually based around low frequencies in the 50-60Hz range, and is a noise that contains a number of harmonics.
We could select 50 or 60Hz from Base Frequency, but if you want AI to make the choice for you, click the Suggest button at the top.

This will analyse the sample and Free mode will allow it to set a more accurate frequency.

The hum noise can been reduced greatly but if the voice has been negatively effected as well, we can lower the number of harmonics down right on the brink of effecting the main sound. We can do this from the Number of harmonics fader.

Next lets adjust the amount of cut. You can make changes from the screen, but the frequency points can get shifted in free mode so we’ll enter numerical changes below.

Izotope Rx Plugin

Find a point where the noise isn’t noticeable yet the vocal remains clean.

For the low end, you can cut up until the point where it starts effecting the vocal. We will turn the High-Pass Filter on and cut under 100Hz.

Though you most likely won’t be using the Low-pass-filter, it may be necessary depending on the type of noise present.

If we want to make more detailed edits on the harmonics we can choose a different Linking Type.

For the default ALL setting, moving the slider here will have a slope effect on all frequencies.
By selecting Odd/even you can control the odd and even harmonics separately.
The Slope slider will help lower the reduction effect on higher frequencies.
When None is selected the link is removed, allowing you to control the Gain of individual harmonics.

De-Crackle

Next lets look at getting rid of the crackling pop-like noises.
We will be using De-crackle.

• Quality：Low will work faster, while High will provide a better sound quality. Medium may yield better results than High depending on the situation, so its best to listen and compare this settings.
• Strength：Determines the strength of the effect, and a higher setting will get rid of more noise but can negatively effect the vocal sounds. Use “Output crackle only” to hear just the crackle sounds and find the right setting.
• Amplitude skew：Allows you to determine the amount of noise editing by the volume of the input signal. Turning it to the right focuses on the louder areas, while turning it to the left will do the opposite. We can set this higher if dealing with clipping noise, but for small detailed crackling noises such as this, it is best to set this parameter on the lower side.

For noise that couldn’t be completely removed, we can try using Spectral De-noise which we took a look at in our previous article.
https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hum_Crackle_processed.mp3

/how-to-download-every-sound-on-garageband.html. As you can hear, we have been able to clean up the audio.

De-reverb

Now lets change the sample audio and take a look at the unique De-reverb.
As the name implies, this helps remove reverb and room reflections in a recording.
First lets hear the sample for this example.
https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Reverb_pre.mp3

We can clearly hear the reverb in this sample.
We will be using De-reverb on this audio.

Though all of these parameters may seem confusing, we can utilise RX 7’s special feature here and get some automatic settings using the Learn button.

To dive a little deeper into the editing, we can leave the Reverb Profile frequency settings set by Learn as is, and adjust the Reduction and Tail length to yield big results.

• Reduction： Increases the amount of reduction of reverb. We want to raise this higher but it will cut out vocal frequencies if set too high, so its best to adjust it to find the right balance.
• Tail length：The further right its pulled the more it works on longer reverb tails. If you get unnatural changes in the vocal sound, be sure to pull this back a little to the left.
• Artifact smoothing：Adjusts the frequency detail of noise removal. Setting it low results in some artefacts in sound, but will increase the amount of reverb reduction. If set higher, you will have less artefacts and a smoother sound, but more reverb will be left over. Its best to listen and find a balance in the middle.
• Enhance dry signal：Increases the volume of non-reverb sounds and expands the dynamic range. This works great on dialogue and human vocals.

The resulting audio after adjusting each parameter is as follows:
https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Reverb_processed-1.mp3

Though its not a completely dry signal, a considerable amount of reverb has been edited out.

De-clip

Next, if we happen to accidentally distort audio during recording we can use De-clip to remove clipping noise.

We have a sample prepared for this as well.
* Be aware that this sample is louder than the previous examples.
https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Clip_pre.mp3

In de-clip we will first setup the threshold of clip sounds. We will use this histogram as a reference but it looks like nothing is displayed at the moment. The histogram will be updated depending on the selected area, so lets first select the portion with vocal audio contained.

If you still don’t see anything, zoom out in the Histogram. Because the majority of sound is clipping, we can see quite alot reflected in the higher volume areas.

By pressing the Suggest button, it will automatically set the Threshold to the suggested point.

Its clipping to the point that that nothing is visible in the center, so it’s set to 0dB. If the audio isn’t this distorted, we would set the threshold a little below the clip.

The remaining parameters work as follows:

• Quality：If your CPU can handle it we suggest using High. If your computer can’t handle the strain when using this as a plugin, use Medium or Low.
• Makeup gain：Most distorted recordings are too loud to begin with, so we will be lowering this. You could adjust this parameter so that the fixed audio matches the volume of your other takes as well.
• Post limiter：Applies a peak limiter at the end to prevent the edited audio from going over 0dBFS. Its best to tick this box.

Lets hear how the sample sounds after making adjustments.
https://sleepfreaks-dtm.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Clip_processed.mp3

The sound is much cleaner and its hard to believe it was distorted.

This completes our look at some commonly used modules in RX 7.
RX 7 covers a vast field of noise/reverb related issues, so be sure to try it out for your own recordings!
