Fixing distorted sound
I'm mixing an indie film where the sound was so poorly recorded. Basically, it peaks-distorts ( recorded level was way too hot ) in many places. Is there a plug-in or something to ease off the crakling resulted from the distortion. I have the Waves and Waves arts restoration but it does not help at all. Thanks

Re: Fixing distorted sound
iZotope's new RX suite has a declipper module. Doubt it's capable of miracles, but it might help a bit. Otherwise it's welcome to ADR city - population: you.
Good luck! |

Re: Fixing distorted sound
I always found the Sony Oxford DeClicker helped cleanup distortion and works better than the waves one overall. However they don't make it any more- its now Sonnox who bought them out and not sure if they make the restoration plugins. The SonicNonoise stuff would probably work better than the Waves also.

Try the demo on your speciffig problem to see if it works. IMO the de-clipper alone is worth the money. It´s actually the first de-clipper I tried that actually worked. Frank.

Cedar declip module. It DOES work miracles.
If you don't want to invest in the Cambridge system or plug-in suite, you can send your files to Cedar for processing. |

Re: Fixing distorted sound
i used Izotope RX works wonders. Was really surprised. Sonic NoNoise has a decent DeCrackle and have saved many recordings with it.

Re: Fixing distorted sound
I agree with Frank. I have Sonic, Waves and RX and RX is the best as declipper. However, I have not found it effective repairing analog low-frequency distortion.

Re: Fixing distorted sound
I post a monthly public affairs show and often get some very dodgy distorted audio - I have found the X-Crackle to come in quite handy and do a reasonable job of "un-distorting" the audio....I will have to check out some of these other recommended plugs though...
