CD Imperfection...

[eadsja]

I am trying to eddit out and diminish an imperfection on my wav file? During the music there is one of those mild 'speaker pops'. I found it when I was edditing in Audacity, and it is there on on the CD it'self (I put in in my cd player, and there it was). It's there and it is noticable.

How can I diminish or remove this 'pop'. I've tried splicing a similar area into it's place, the pop is gone but their is the noticable audiable changover noise. Unfortunately I am working with a unique cresendo that acts as a transitional segment to move the music into 'high gear'. So I have to leave it in. But is there any way I can remove it. Now that I found it ITS ALWAYS THERE, and it's driving me batty. I hear this thing every time, and once I point it out, my friends say it's very noticable as well.

We do this kind of thing with video all the time (cleaning), how do we Clean Audio (the guides show how to eddit audio, but not how to clean it).

try using ramped transitions between tracks when you splice your unpopped similar section in. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... udio4.html shows how to insert ramped transitions. hopefully that should get rid of the "changeover noise". if you have to splice into a crescendo section, either make the splice as short as possible, or have the splice crescendo with the section it is being spliced into by playing with the envelope.

There is a thing called CEDAR audio, however unless you have thousands of dollars thany you are up poo creek. NOT TO FEAR! I can help you, do you still have the file with the clicks and pops? If so send me the file and I'll clean it for you, if you can compress it to MP3 at the highest rate possible. Or chop one second either side of the POP and send me that fragmet as a WAV file, I have something that can get that POP out.
I can then send you back that file and you can just drop it back into that gap.

Or I can write a tutorial on how to remove these things with a few tricks, but that may take some time.

Let me know Eh?
