SADiE CEDAR DeClick96 Plug-in SADiE

There are two implementations of CEDAR De-Click included in the SADiE plug-in. Manual De-Click uses SADiE’s new region editing feature to highlight the individual clicks in the audio waveform that will be affected by the De-Click algorithm for precise click removal, and Auto De-Click allows the user to process part or all of an entire playlist as an off-line process.

CEDAR’s advanced algorithms clearly differentiate between the degradation and the genuine signal, allowing transparent restoration of even the most severely damaged material. Undamaged signal passes without any changes: there’s no distortion, no loss of transients, and no loss of ambience. Furthermore, CEDAR’s interpolator is based on the technique of signal modelling. By analysing the signal over a region of several milliseconds it can build a model of the underlying resonant signal (such as music or speech) and then use the information to replace each click with an interpolation that fits this resonant model.

The “manual” De-Click allows users to remove large thumps and other events that are not detected or fully restored by any automated process. With a completely new algorithm capable of eliminating huge thumps of up to 2,000 samples in length, De-Click is particularly suitable for restoring optical soundtracks and audio files that have proved impossible to correct using other products and methods.

And, as with all CEDAR processes, it is extremely quick and simple to use. Its SADiE-designed controls are intuitive and clear, and the processes themselves require no time-wasting analysis or pre-processing passes. It is going to be invaluable in the film, broadcast and video industries as well as in CD mastering and forensic audio laboratories.

CEDAR DeClick96 is a third-party cost option plug-in – contact your dealer for details of how to obtain it.
