Updated De-Clicker and new De-esser for speech

steve · August 6, 2021, 11:35am

Try right click on the “DeClicker.ny” (in the first post), and select “Save As” (or whatever the equivalent is for your web browser).

When you’ve downloaded it, follow these instructions for how to install (and enable) a Nyquist plug-in: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_windows.html#nyquist_install

Hia all,

If I install DeClicker.ny on a Linux system, Manjaro Linux more specifically in Brazilian Portuguese language, what name would the plugin appear to me for example?

Noise removal? Or something different?

T+ = See you later

It will appear as “De-Clicker”. (It isn’t translated)

Creto · September 30, 2021, 7:34pm

So I can’t install on Audacity 3.0.4, Linux Manjaro /usr/share/audacity/plug-ins

T+ = See you later

DeClicker.ny is a Nyquist plug-in. Install it with the Nyquist Plug-in Installer. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_linux.html#nyquist_install

Hi all.
I’ve read through this thread and see others have this issue but no resolution. I’ve downloaded .ny plugins before by moving them to Application Support/Audacity/Plugins…

so I’m pretty sure I know what I’m doing there.
However, I’ve tried to download the declicker plugin. As previously reported by others on this thread, my Mac asks me to choose an App to open it - when I open App store it says it’s not supported in the UK.

So, I dragged and dropped the Declicker plugin file to my desktop which seemed to work okay. I then moved it to ApplicationsSupport/Audacity/Plugins - I can see it’s there right next to ACX. However when I open Audacity it’s still not listed as a plugin in Effects>Add/New plugin.

If you look at my screenshot it says it’s a “text clipping” whereas ACX is a document.

There’s no other way to save declicker to my Mac other than dragging and dropping. If I click Save link as - it immediately goes back to the message asking to choose an app to open it.

Any ideas? Thanks so much.
Dawn

For current versions of Audacity, it is recommended to use the “Nyquist Plug-in Installer” rather than manually moving the .ny file.
For macOS, see here for how to install and enable Nyquist plug-ins: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_mac_os_x.html#nyquist_install

Thank you.
I already have the Nyquist installer listed in my Audacity plugins but can’t see how it works and the links don’t really explain - thanks

dawnmgold · November 28, 2021, 3:10pm

Just figured out how to use the plugin installer - now all sorted and it works fine. Thank you.

Dude, thank you soo much for this!

Jesse5000 · December 27, 2021, 1:37am

The De-Clicker is an excellent plug-in that was exactly what I was looking for. I’m using a Blue Yeti condenser mic for voice overs for my channel and the problem with that mic is that it picks up absolutely every mouth click, slosh, lip smack and undesirable sound imaginable.

I kept all default settings as is except for the Sensitivity Threshold (db) which I dropped from 6.00 to 0.50. That did it. All clicks and other sounds removed. However if you make your sensitivity that severe I wouldn’t apply the De-clicker to the entire waveform, it will remove the D’s in your speech some of the time. It will also soften harsher T’s and P’s (which actually improved my audio). But absolutely no complaints. It saved me from trying to pinpoint waveforms and fading in or out over the clicks, which was hit or miss.

Thank you for this awesome app and making my life a whole lot easier. Kudos!!

Thank you Paul for posting this, it’s an amazing tool and it’s incredible that you released it for free. You rock!

For me, the default settings of the de-esser from the first post barely softened the esses. The overtones go up all the way to 17 kHz in my store-bought audio book and the default de-esser settings stop at 8 kHz already. Tuning the parameters a little (leaving most settings close to the default, just a higher upper frequency bound and a better dB threshold), the narrator very quickly sounds like they have a lisp.

For me, the plugin basically makes the narrator either have a speech impairment or else insufficiently filters the sharp S-sounds.

To be fair, this book was quite extreme and the first time (across maybe fifty books) that I wanted to manually edit the book. I imagine you’d usually just avoid this problem when recording.

What worked much better for this case was simply the built-in Effect → Low Pass Filter. The recording’s quality clearly decreases (e.g. if you use high dampening above 3kHz, it sounds like the narrator is reading to you personally over an old phone line ), but at least it doesn’t make the narrator sound speech-impaired. Depending on how much quality you’re willing to sacrifice to get softer esses, starting point values might be:

high de-essing (big quality difference): LPF 4000 Hz, 36 dB per octave rolloff
medium de-essing (medium quality difference): LPF 5000 Hz, 6 dB per octave rolloff

I’m not sure why Audacity doesn’t just allow you to set arbitrary rolloff (dB) values, but the defaults seem granular enough to be okay as well.

Related to narration: another helpful tool was the “compressor”. I was first trying to apply normalization but that apparently means something else in audio jargon. If the book has quiet whispers and loud screams (and you’re trying to listen while falling asleep, or in a noisy environment where you need to turn it up extremely high to hear the whispers) then this is definitely something you’ll want to check out.

Hope this helps someone! This will probably get buried in the middle of a soon-to-be 40-page topic but that’s just how it is. Maybe others can refer back to it if it was helpful for them.

The desibilator variant of Paul-L’s de-esser has 13kHz as the default.

If it’s causing lisping, back-off the threshold in 1dB steps until the lisp goes away.

[ If you have applied a de-esser, and it’s causing lisping,
you’ll have to undo the effect before trying again with different settings].

Hi there. My I use this de-clicker and de-esser for commercial purposes like editing voice overs and narration for clients?

Thank you.

steve · December 31, 2021, 12:30pm

Unfortunately Paul (the author of the plug-in) didn’t include any license information, but I’d assume that he intended the plug-in to be licensed the same as Audacity, which was GPL v2 at the time. GPL version 2 allows use for commercial purpose (GNU General Public License version 2 – Open Source Initiative)

TertiusB · December 31, 2021, 4:12pm

Thank you

My dedicated proof-listener in LibriVox sent me a link to this forum and also a video that she said helped her to download and install the plug-in, but the video addresses Windows users, and I use an iMac. I encountered two mysteries.

First, the plug-ins that you offer are represented as having .ny suffixes, but the files that download have .php suffixes. When I use the Audacity plug-in installer, it returns an error message: “‘Audacity de-clicker.php’ is not a valid Nyquist plug-in.”

Second, somewhere I learned that plug-ins for Audacity are stored in a file whose path begins “/Audacity.app/Contents/ . . .” but the only place where I find “/Audacity.app” is the Applications folder, and that path extends no further than that.

Since the Audacity User Manual says nothing about installing plug-ins on a Mac except to use the plug-in installer, I must need some other kind of help.

steve · February 15, 2022, 12:22am

You’ve got the wrong file. The Nyquist plug-in does have a “.ny” extension.
