If the number of repairs required is manageable, and the length of the glitch is short, then the "Repair" effect is a good choice and usually does a really good job.

Re: Could my audio setup be better or just tweaked a bit?

If I did purchase a USB interface, would that replace the phantom power supply or would I still need both. Most USB microphone pre-amps that have XLR inputs also have phantom power (but check the specifications to be sure). Although USB can supply power to run USB audio devices, it is not idea for ...

Re: Newbie asking for a kickstart, please!

FFmpeg includes "dsfdec" which is a DSD / DSF decoder. I think that dBpoweramp also has an optional DSD decoder I don't know of any software DSF encoders. Conversion from analog to DSD is generally done in hardware. Software transcoding from PCM to DSD would defeat the point of DSD (which ...

Re: What do you call this sound? Is it possible to fix it?

So I assume the sound is called a "Click"? Hm. The more general term for a short defect / discontinuity in the audio is a "glitch". If that defect / discontinuity sounds like a "click", then you would probably call it a "click", unless the recording includes ...

(snd-avg sound 2 1 op-average) gives a 'rolling average' of each sample with the previous sample, which acts as a low-pass filter where the corner frequency is 1/4 of the sample rate.

Re: Public Address 'Tannoy' effect

I'm nitpicking here, but shouldn't each echo should have less high-frequency content than the previous one Yes, to sound more authentic, it should, but have you looked at the code? It's a pretty simple effect, with the heavy lifting (except for the final "normalize" step) handled efficien...
