Auto-Scan
& Correct. Loading a new wave file
into Wave Corrector automatically starts the correction process. For
vinyl, a replacement waveform is
generated for each of the detected
clicks. For tape/cassette, a hiss filter is applied.
- Sound
Recorder Window. This provides
recording via the Line-In port of the computer's sound card.
Alternatively you can process wave files which already exist on your
computer's hard disk. The recorder also allows you to
schedule
timed recordings of, say, radio broadcasts.

|
Automatic
Track Detection
and Manual Track Editing
|
Auto
Track Detection. During
scanning, track
boundaries are detected by searching for periods of
inter-track silence.
- Manual
Track Editing.
Track boundaries
can easily be moved and tracks can be customised by splitting or
merging.
- Add
Fades and Silence. Simply drag in
the custom bar to add fades or silence to track boundaries.

Titles and Tags

Save
Separate Files. Wave Corrector
saves the corrected waveforms to separate files representing each
album track.
- File
Tagging and Naming.You
can add textual tags
to tracks and use these to
generate file names and to tag audio files that support
tagging.
- Support
for 'Disk-at-Once' Recording.
Wave
Corrector offers support for both 'Track-at-Once' and 'Disk-at-Once' CD
recording modes. 'Disk-at-Once' mode enables you to produce a CD with a
seamless track change in the middle of a musical work.

Professional
Edition
The Professional edition provides all the above features
together with a number of editing and filtering
tools. These enable the skilled user to enhance and improve the
results of the automatic scan and correct operations.

Highlighting
of 'Difficult'
Corrections
|
Correction
List.The program displays a 'Correction
List' that shows the location of individual click
corrections.
- Colour
Coded. Wave Corrector predicts which clicks
will be the most difficult to correct (usually loud repeating clicks
caused by scratches) and highlights them in the correction
list. Severe clicks are shown in red, moderate ones in yellow.
|
|
User
Editing of Corrections
|
Display
Individual Correction. Each
correction is displayed in the main window overlaid on the uncorrected
wave.
- Audition
Corrections. Selecting the
?Audition? command, you can immediately hear the
before and after effect of the individual correction.
- Adjust
Corrections.If
a click is
still audible after correction you can manually adjust it to match the
surrounding wave.
- Manually
Insert and Remove Corrections. Wave
Corrector
allows you to remove unwanted corrections and to
manually insert new ones, for example when the click detector has
missed a click that be removed. By
these means, it is possible to attain the
maximum fidelity from the original recording.
|
|
Filtering
and Conditioning
|
Apply
Digital Filters. Apply any combination of
hiss, hum or rumble filters and/or apply a tonal correction filter to
the recorded waveform. The hiss and hum filters use the principle of
'noise subtraction' to remove continuous noise without affecting the
frequency response of the recording.
- Adjust
Volume. Normalise the volume of your
recording to a user selectable reference level and/or adjust the
left/right channel balance.
|
|
Batch
Processing
|
Process
Multiple Files. Use the batch processing
feature to apply the same sequence of actions to a group of
files.
|
|
Other
Operations
|
- Save
and
Resume an Editing Session. As well as
saving audio files, it is also possible to save 'session files' which
store the list of corrections (including user edits) for later
retrieval. Thus, you can break off from auditioning/editing Wave
Corrector's results; save the session file; and resume at a later time.
|
- Cut
and
Splice.
This powerful technique allows you to silently remove an unwanted
section of a
wave. This could be, for example, a cough by a member of the
audience during a live recording; or an unwanted announcement during a
radio broadcast. Hear
an example.
