Groove Mechanic 2.5c

Groove Mechanic is a noise reduction system optimized for repairing the sound from vinyl LP records and cassette tapes. It removes clicks and pops such as those found on vinyl records, removes tape hiss and reduces rumble (subaudio frequencies). Use it to regain the original sound quality from records and tapes that have deteriorated over the years.

You can use it to record the sound from your turntable or tape deck, remove clicks, hiss and rumble, normalize the amplitude, and split the resulting file into individual tracks. You can also convert the tracks to MP3 or OGG format.

Groove Mechanic's hiss reduction is also outstanding, and can be used to remove the background noise from cassette tapes or records without "muffling" the sound.

Unlike most competing products, Groove Mechanic uses frequency-domain methods to interpolate over clicks, resulting in amazing fidelity to the original sound. Each click is removed and replaced with a tiny sample of audio derived from the frequency characteristics of the sound immediately before and after the click.

What's New in This Release:

￭ Prevented a problem that could occur under unusual circumstances (eg. very high sung notes) in which Groove Mechanic would, when fixing a click, introduce a bigger click. ￭ Added Tips of the Day and a set of Welcome/Configuration screens. ￭ Allow auto generation of track filename from track number and title (for MP3/OGG output) ￭ Fixed overflow in View Tracks if number of tracks was more than 26 or so. ￭ Made auto-track-naming more reasonable when track names like "Track01.mp3" are chosen by the user. ￭ Allow user to provide a file containing a list of song titles, rather than typing the titles in one at a time.
