Select the offending section of audio in the spectrogram.Ĭlick Preview and see if the preset is removing the clicks adequately. This algorithm uses multi-band processing for wider vinyl clicks and thumps, with a protective algorithm for preserving periodic audio elements characteristic to certain instruments such as brass or vocals.Ĭheck the box marked Output Clicks Only to monitor just what the algorithm is removing. Inside the De-click module, choose the algorithm Multi-band (random clicks). Open an audio file in the RX Audio Editor or send it using RX Connect. I played with the Click Widening parameter, and those went away. With my first settings, there were still some artifacts.

This video shows you how easy it is to remove digital clicks-and also, how the Click Widening control can help you in removing the whole click. Never forget, you’re not mixing audio for other persnickety audio engineers-you’re mixing audio for a client who wants to elicit an emotion, tell a story, and get the project out on time! Using De-click as a plug-in can be a bit like using a machete to do surgery instead of a scalpel-you may take out audio you actually need, or miss the occasional click.īut if you’re on a deadline, living with any sonic compromise might be preferable to extirpating each click one by one, especially if the results aren’t noticeable to anyone but you or the most persnickety audio engineer. If the problem is constant, I will insert De-click as a plug-in on the track with the click.In Logic, I’ll save the region with the offending click as its own region, open RX as an external editor, and fix the issue in standalone.If the click happens only once or twice in a track, I’ll fix the issue with Audiosuite processing when working in Pro Tools.With so many options, you might be confused about how to implement De-click in your mix. In DAWs that support region-based processing (Wavelab and Logic Pro X for example), you can use De-click that way. You can also use the De-click plug-in as an audiosuite process in Pro Tools. You can load files directly into the RX application, utilize RX Connect to ferry audio to and from Pro Tools, or launch an external editor for the task in Logic. RX De-click is available as a plug-in for your DAW or NLE-but it also works in RX’s standalone editor as a module.
