DeClick:Dialogue

Premium and Ultimate Edition Only

This feature is available in the Premium and Ultimate Editions only.

Mouth clicks and lip smacks can be a major annoyance in voice recordings. DeClick:Dialogue is better suited for these problems than the standard DeClick tool which is optimized for vinyl and 78 RPM recordings.

DeClick Dialogue UI

The DeClick:Dialogue user interface shows the frequency range of the processing and you can adjust it using optional low and high cut filters with adjustable filter slopes.

Parameter Settings

  • Sensitivity (%)

You can adjust the sensitivity of the click detection with the Sensitivity slider between 0% (no clicks detected) and 100% (maximum detection).

  • Click expand (ms)

This setting lets DeClick:Dialogue expand the duration of the interpolation time range after each detected click. It should be kept as short as possible, while still covering the clicks.

  • Solo Noise

Enable this option if you wish to monitor the click signal that was removed.

  • Frequency Range

The frequency range curve allows you to control the frequency range of the processing. You can enable low and high cut filters with adjustable filter slopes:

Low and high cut buttons

These filters work the same way as in parametric equalizers. You can modify the filter characteristics by clicking the handles (colored squares) in the curve and move them around and the current cut-off frequency settings of the frequency band is displayed. Arrows surrounding the handle will appear that you can use to change the filter slope of the selected filter.

DeClick Dialogue - Frequency Range

The frequency range control lets you adjust the frequency range of the processing. The yellow handle controls the detection frequency described below.

  • Detection Frequency

To avoid removing wanted transients that occur in conjunction with sounds like 'p' and 't', DeClick:Dialogue only removes clicks with most energy in high frequency bands. The detection frequency controls the threshold for this mechanism, and only clicks with a spectral center of mass (also called spectral centroid) above the detection frequency are processed. You can control the detection frequency with the yellow handle in the frequency range curve.
