Then reloaded it to CEPro, sampled a portion of "silence" to remove the residual hiss by 10dB.Ĭomparing the original LP, unprocessed recording, with the filtered version using high quality headphones (Sennheiser HD650), I cannot hear any difference in the guitar, vocals and strings. I then used ClickRepair to remove click and pops and then a second time (as per the instructions) to remove crackle only. I recorded the LP using CEPro at 96kHz/32bit sampling and saved to WAV. I can easily exceed the suggested range for parameters into "impractical" values and not only surgically remove noise and only noise, not only be able to have real time preview, but process the LP in less than 10 minutes.īTW, I just completed processing a 1973 Kenny Rogers LP that had sporadic clicks and lots of crackle as well as audible hiss, very likely from the mastering tape. There was pleny of room for increasing the sampling size, but it would take a few days to process a cassette or LP. They would either not remove enough noise or chop out some of the "sparkle" of the music. Mark that segment, have the filter sample it and then apply the filter on the whole recording to remove whatever fingerprint it finds of the sampled audio.ġ0 years ago, with a Pentium 3, I found the suggested optimal settings a bit lacking. ![]() To make it work, one needs to locate a passage where only noise exists. The noise reduction filter on the other hand is plain awsome. Either this or I can't understand the logic behind it. With my current four core one it is much faster but again the process is time consuming, tiresome and boring. However, to succesfully identify individual pops one needs to zoom in to a 20~30 sec window and scroll that. Then the transient is selected and the filter used in "fill single click" mode. the high transient covers the full spectrum). As the display shows high energy with bright yellow, average with red and low energy with purple, clicks and pops stand out as solid vertical lines (i.e. I found it more effective to switch to spectral view where instead of the waveform one can see a full spetral analysis row against time. However it suffers when horns, saxophone and brass instruments in general are present. It is rather complicated to understand in terms of settings and I really studied the documentation to master it. The click and pop filter really works - to an extent. I have used the click and pop filter there as well as the hiss and FFT noise reduction filters. Unfortunately there's no "fixed" EQ curve that I can take a snapshot of, but the interface looks pretty cool: Īnd just for ref, here's what the Match EQ in Logic looked like for the same source material: Īnyway just thought this little experiment might help out anyone else on the lookout for matching EQ stuff in Tools.Click to expand.I am using CEPro as my main audio tool for several years now. ![]() RX5 : Have to say this definitely definitely sounded the best of the bunch, and I like the way the whole files are analysed without having to play them in in realtime. Also, the auto-eq seems to operate with quite broad strokes compared to the Pro Q2. Selecting the "Source" and "Target" for each waveform certainly didn't seem as intuitive the Q2. MAutoDynamic EQ : Although I like some of the features of this, it felt a little clunky to use, and the "PC"-style design of the interface is enough to put off a die-hard Mac user like myself. I know! That's the level of procrastination I'm into.įabfilter Pro Q2 : I really like the interface on this, I love the way you can "grab" the spectrum analyser and change stuff. Thanks so much for everyone's replies on this, and mesaone for taking the time to explain the Izotope steps.įor a laugh (I know this isn't really real-world, but still.) I tried out matching the EQ curve of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" onto U2's "Wire".
