lawrence.
happy new yr.
actually mate i'm a blinkin lousy painter/drawer.
even at school decades ago i couldnt even paint a flower.
got thrown out of art class into the quad..
for chattin up the lady art teacher...lol.
i normally screw up on such delicate low level sample
waveform redrawing.
it can be very time consuming.
but yes i'm sure it will come as a feature.
normally in this type of situation if ive got a real problem trak
like that with say pops/cliks or someone gave me such a trak.
what ive found is "divide n conquer".
lets say i have a trak with 10 bad cliks on it "puh's"
or whatever..in reap i would set up a new trak under the problem
trak called "fix ups". cut each one of the 10 out to the fix up trak.
then ive got a likkle trik i use.
(i dont claim to be a great audio engr. i'm, just a nuts songwriter for fun.)
remember its all sample values in those "anomolies".
so what ive sometimes done in the past is detailed hand editing
on the fix ups trak (fade in/out/level/automation/eq triks etc.)
as well use the merest "hint" of flange on the fix ups undetectable to the listener.
thus ..by useing a dsp plug in one is changeing the sample values of the
"anomolies". mebe throw in a teeny bit of compression.
n experiment with some of the reap plugs like reacomp/flange etc.
another "trik" is to use a noise reduction filter ...ive found..
to attack anomolies.
but not in a traditional way. ie...noise print of an area of trak
is the normal method .a blank noisy bit of trak.
but my way is to get creative with the NR.
use the NR to sample the clik or anomolie (just a "smidgeon")..
itself...then try n apply that "print" to the fix up trak containing our ten anomolies.
its all physics eh ? (my degree is in physics..lol.)
in essence we are modifying the anomolies waveform.
sometimes it works.sometimes not..depends on the source waveform.
but there are lots of ways ive found to skin the anomolies cat.
ive also used NR dsp algos in other ways.
for example , sometimes mebe a guitar trak stands out too much in a mix.
so.for giggles...i ask the NR to take a noise print of an actual piece of real guitar trak ,
then apply the print (picture) to the whole guitar trak.
this way changeing the character of the track.
sometimes little triks like this for me...save me redrawing time etc.
if a trak is that bad...anyway i would "cover" by doing another trak or verse of vocs whatever .
god bless.
