I’m not sure what you are asking works reliably. The code that you pasted certainly works fine, it fades out chunks of the file, works perfectly, chunk by chunk. The De-Clicker also works fine as long as I don’t give it too big a chunk of audio to work with, in which case it falls over.
If you could point me in the way to go to to get De-Clicker to work in the macro instead of the fade, that would be awesome.
FYI I note that in the ‘regular’ part of the Audacity menu, there is also a click removal option, and I remember that I went searching for the extra plugin a few years back, but I don’t remember why, perhaps because the clicker wasn’t in Audacity at that time, perhaps because it didn’t perform as well.
The one I use does work very well, but maybe a year ago an Audacity update or something else made it fail on longer tracks, and I had to remove it from the macro that I use to clean up audio.
1. A plug-in called “Loop Processing”. Loop_Processing.ny (2.43 KB)
This plug-in needs to be installed. It will appear in the “Tools” menu. (Note that recent versions of Audacity require Audacity to be restarted after plug-ins have been added).
This plug-in has two “modes” (effectively it is two plug-ins in one).
Analyze: This mode measures the length of the focused track and calculates the length of each section.
Select: This mode selects a region of the track.
The only other control sets the number of sections.
Note that this control is only used when analyzing.
2. A macro script
The plug-in must be run in “Analyze” mode first.
Then, before the required effect can be applied, the plug-in is run in “Select” mode.
The whole macro would look something like this - note that in this example the effect is being applied to 4 sections (quarters of the track length).
Hi Steve, I just wanted to come back to you (after I took an age to dig out my password to be able to comment) to say thanks so much for this, it works perfectly, it’s exactly what I needed!
