I also enjoy good (read: "transparent") audio. I also enjoy many genres that feature a wide dynamic range. Though I've culled out most of the truly thrashed LP's over the decades, I also have a lot of sides that are in less-than-stellar quality. Oh, and I'm no fan of modern country, but that should go without saying.Īs a result of the above hunter/gatherer methods, I have a lot of records that never made it to digital. Really, the only thing I'm not interested in is mainstream classic rock - I've had enough of that pumped at me over radio to last two lifetimes. My tastes are pretty broad - I started as a punk/alternative kid, but later got into soul, jazz, exotica, international, krautrock, early electronic, the more esoteric end of classical, vintage country, etc. I don't think I've ever paid more than $15 for a record, new or used, and the vast majority of my stuff was had for $1-5 each through the salvage operation described above, yard sales, thrift stores, or used bins. As a collector, I'm definitely at the low end of the price scale. Stick with me - I'm getting to the hardware bit. I met a lot of fascinating people this way, including a guy who'd been a Walter Matthau's stunt double for much of his career, with several thousand jazz LP's collected over a lifetime in Los Angeles (unfortunately, two Japanese investors had flown in a few days before and snapped up most of the Blue Notes, but there was still a lot to be found.) Had an ad for years in the local paper under the head "Sanford & Son Vinyl Salvage," and took calls from people enthusiastic for me to rummage through their collections and cherry-pick for $1 a pop.
#CLICKREPAIR SOFTWARE MAC OS#
Work-arounds for problems with FileDialogs on Mac OS X.Minor bug files.I've been collecting vinyl since I was a teen in the 80's and really went ape in the 90's when everyone sold off their collections for CD's. Work-arounds for problems with FileDialogs on Mac OS X.Minor bug files. In fact, the overall interface isn't particularly intuitive and takes some time getting used to.Īll things considered though, if you're looking for an economical way to remove imperfections from your beloved vinyl recordings, ClickRepair is definitely worth a try.
However, dragging the cursor along the sound wave produces rather mixed results with the sound jumping from one point to another which may be due to the fact that ClickRepair requires Java to work. You can preview how your new repaired file sounds by previewing either the repaired section or listen to only what's has being removed. The program analyzes interference on the record and compensates for hiss and crackles by performing what's known as 'audio interpolation'. The program will accept either mono or stereo file formats and the maximum sample rate is 96 kHz. In order to use ClickRepair, you must first capture the sound as uncompressed audio files in 16 or 24 bit format in either AIFF or WAVE format - MP3's are not supported although this is mainly because MP3s have usually lost too much of the quality in the original recording (during the compression process) to be repaired.
