Conventional declick processes are unable to identify and eliminate low level crackle without eating into the genuine audio. If misused in this way, they will damage the ambience and remove genuine musical transients.
Vintage Decrackle is based upon the most popular implementation of our Split & Recombine algorithm, which proved to the world that real-time decrackling was not only possible, but could be performed to the highest remastering standards. It offers the same performance as our award-winning CR-1 Decrackler, and boasts a remarkable ability to dig deep into a damaged signal to identify and remove all manner of ground-in and grungy crackle without damaging the wanted audio. It will also remove some forms of buzz and many amplitude distortions from material as diverse as cylinder recordings and live broadcasts contaminated with lighting buzz.
