ClickScratch

If you are into vinyl music disks and constantly hear clicks and pops when playing a track although the surface is clean and have few to no scratches, then maybe you need a digital tool that can remove those effects, ClickScratch is a program that can help you with the clicks removal.

ClickScrath has a simple interface centered on the oscilloscope pane that is split in two and several options on the left side grid. You can open an extra window that contains some track settings.

Also, the "Sensitivity" of the detection can be adjusted during the capture or after the capture, while editing. After having modified the sensitivity, another "Click Repair" can be performed without impacting the original audio quality or losing the work already done.

Every detected click is shown in the twin channel window, from there you can modify the markers, cancel the false detections and add extra markers. You can listen to the resulting audio quality. The file is played from the cursor position materialized by a vertical blue line

Regarding the clicks, you can identify them by the pink stripes that pepper the blue wave. If your track is mostly blue and has few pink lines, then it can be quickly repaired.

You cannot load other formats except the WAV extension, so trying to select other files or drag&drop won't work. Only monophonic or stereophonic 16 bit PCM ".wav" files are supported. The file must be sampled at 44.1 or 48 kHz.

As a note, if the disk is way to scratched/damaged the app cannot restore its content at all.

ClickScratch is a handy application that can be used to improve a vinyl track quality by removing the click effects and also to record them or record them. It can be operated by any user and requires a minimum bag of knowledge that can be found in the app's "readme" file.
