![]() ![]() Interesting thing is that when I set deesser output into two different variables and I use only one of them, there is no error. ![]() I have wrapped this into bigger Nyquist plugin, that contains the de-esser code plus another main function, where I call de-esser two times. I just need to find out how to patch that occasional error. I can experience it no matter what the parameters of deesser are.įirst time, I run it over 4000-16000hz and second time 60-300Hz (like de-boomer). I have sometimes an error when running de-esser two times in row. Hopefully someone finds this information useful. However – I can’t stress this enough – these exact settings are specific to my voice, my finished audio processing, and my equipment, so they will almost certainly not work perfectly for you as-is. You can download that file, then create three presets for the De-Clicker settings I’ve printed above, and see the effect of each preset for yourself. To illustrate the effect these presets have on raw audio, I’ve created a brief example file that shows one quick sentence before and after running all three presets, plus the result of the full finished audio macro: Widen repair intervals at each end by: 5.0Īnd this one runs after the compressor: "Pass 3" These first two De-Clicker presets are used before the compressor: "Pass 1" Don’t complain to me that my settings don’t work for you if you haven’t adjusted them for your own recordings as instructed above. At bare minimum, you must identify your own frequency ranges for each specific type of click you want to get rid of. Now I’m going to give you the settings, but please note that they will probably not work as well for you as they do for me because my voice, recording equipment, and recording environment are all different from yours. I still have to occasionally manually remove a click, but the worst ones are cleanly removed via the three De-Clicker presets in my finished audio macro. However Nyquist may run out of memory when a macro is applied to large files, so I had to add a Nyquist Prompt line to the beginning of the macro to increase the amount of memory available to plugins (it will generate a window that you have to click “OK” on when the macro runs): Mostly this has solved the problem of amplifying previously mitigated clicks. Therefore I created a post-compressor preset and added it to the macro. Because I use the compressor on the entire file, some clicks might accidentally get amplified.Unfortunately when I used those presets in a macro, the processing would either take hours to complete, or Audacity would run out of memory, so I made a macro-friendly version of my presets, basically just reducing the number of passes. ![]() After testing, I created specific De-Clicker user setting presets for the most obtrusive clicks: “Wet L” and “Nasal tick.”.The De-Clicker chokes on low-frequency sound, and the clicks I’m talking about here are not really “clicks” per se – they’re a little longer than a “click,” so the De-Clicker is not the right tool. Instead, I manually remove these with -20 bass on the selection. I gave up trying to work with low-frequency clicks (such as plosives and “lip snaps” at the end of words that end in S, TH, or F.However, the spectral analysis tool is probably better for this I just don’t know how to use it. I did this by zooming in on the dB waveform, finding the boundaries of the click, and using the Analyze → Plot Spectrum function. I identified the typical lengths, frequency ranges, and volume levels of the clicks I wanted to eliminate from speech.These are mouse / keyboard noise, and little saliva clicks that happen when you open your mouth sometimes. This is more about the length and volume of the click than its frequency. I created a De-Clicker preset for the “easy” clicks – the ones that are in otherwise silent room tone.Since there are a lot of people who haven’t been able to figure it out, and since there’s still no documentation, I’ll explain the process I went through to get the most out of De-Clicker. I’ve been using this plugin successfully for years. ![]()
