6.
Click OK. The first glitch in the file is found and its location is marked with the cursor.
Tip:
If you can hear glitches that the Find tool does not locate, decrease the Threshold slope and increase the Sensitivity.
Locating additional glitches using the same settings
Once you have configured the settings in the Find dialog, you can find the next glitch in the file without viewing the Find dialog. To find
the next glitch using the current settings, hold Shift while choosing Find from the Tools menu or hold Shift while clicking the Find
button (
) on the Tools toolbar.
Using the Shift key in this way is not limited to finding glitches. You can hold Shift and choose any command from a menu to repeat the
command with the same settings. For more information, see Repeating an operation on page 149.
Repairing audio
There are several ways to repair audio glitches.
Copying the other channel
For glitches in a single channel of a multichannel file, you can replace the glitched section of the damaged channel with the
corresponding data from a “good” channel.
Note:
This method works only if the channels contain similar audio.
1.
Open the file containing the glitch.
2.
Create a selection in the channel containing the glitch, three or four times longer (maximum 50 ms) than the glitch itself.
3.
From the Tool s menu, choose Repair, and choose Copy Other Channel from the submenu. The selected data is replaced with the
corresponding data from the “good” channel. In addition, rapid crossfades are created at the beginning and end of the
replacement selection to prevent a new glitch from being created.
Tip:
If this method fails to repair the glitch, undo it and apply Copy Other Channel again, this time using a longer selection.
Interpolating new audio
This is the most basic method of repairing glitches. New audio data is simply interpolated based on the data at the beginning and end of
the selection. This method results in a straight line connecting the beginning and end of the selection. Interpolation should be used to
repair only small (less than 2 ms) glitches.
1.
Open the file containing the glitch.
2.
Right-click the data window and choose Zoom from the shortcut menu, and choose In Full from the submenu. The file is displayed
at a 24:1 zoom ratio.
3.
Create a selection containing the glitch.
Tip:
To improve the accuracy of this feature, the selection should be as small as possible while still containing the glitch.
