Izotope Rx: Repairing clipped audio with De-clip

Izotope RxTry it →Watch full video →Mastering․com ·

Demo summary

The demonstrator uses the De-clip module to reconstruct transients and remove digital distortion from an over-gained vocal recording.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the De-clip module
  2. Adjust the threshold to a healthy range to unlimit the signal
  3. Click Compare to preview the changes
  4. Review the waveform to ensure peaks are no longer crushed
  5. Listen to different sections of the audio to verify the repair
  6. Click Render to process the unclipped audio

Tips

  • Use the visual feedback of the peaks to ensure they are no longer hitting the maximum level
  • Check multiple sections of the recording to ensure the settings sound great across the entire track

Highlights

“Sounds much much better. And we just rescued that vocal.”
