Set it to listen to just the noise, and if you can hear anything that sounds like the beat of the music, then you are affecting the music transients, and you need to lower the threshold. But the setting will be different from one album to the next and even one song to the next. In fact, I change mine throughout the song to get the best setting. Louder, more dynamic passages require a different setting than quiet passages. I generally run from a setting of 10 - 15 for passages with a lot of music transients to as high as 50 or 60. I set it to run in a semi-automatic mode where it stops on each place it identifies a click or pop. Then you can accept the repair it suggests, or if you think it is a music transient, you can ignore it (not apply the change). I change the threshold setting as I go through the track so that I don't get a huge number of 'false' detections, but still eliminate all of the clicks and pops that are audible. I will start the track with a high setting (like 60) and start processing. This gets rid of all of the 'static and pops' at the fade in. Then as the music starts, I will reduce the threshold as required. I keep it as high as possible without getting a whole lot of false detections. Remember I am deciding for each detection whether to accept it or not, so it isn't an issue of screwing up the music, it is just an issue of how much time I'm willing to spend sorting through all of the false detects. With a little practice it isn't hard at all.īut if that is too much work, then I suggest just starting at about 15 and just listen to the 'noise'.Īs I move through the track, I vary the threshold setting so that I stay as high as possible, but below the level that gives me too many false detections. If it sounds at all like it has a beat like the song, then lower the threshold. If you still get some actually clicks and pops, then raise it. Keep in mind that click repair only affects the few samples around the transient it detects. It does not affect the vast majority of the music file. I did quite a bit of experimentation when I first started using it to confirm that this is the case. If you have a music editor, you can take the file before and after processing through click repair and subtract them so you see only what click repair changed. All of the music is identical to the original file except a few samples either side of the click or pop. I have done extensive testing using the various settings in ClickRepair.
