Clipping

Hey Fellow Cakies

I have a speech recording I'm trying to fix but it has audio clipping in spots due to recording levels too high.  I seem to remember a tool that would soften out really sharp audio transients with some kind of softer fade.  Was that in Sonar or maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Thanks in advance for you help

You'll need a wave editor and even that may not be entirely successful. Audacity is a freebie if it's a one off job. I've also used Steinberg's Wavelab in the past.

Triplicate post....... gotta love the forum software......

"You can try the TS64 Transient Shaper in Sonar." up untill recently i never really bothered with the ts, used it a few weeks ago and realised how good a utensil it really is

Sony Sound Forge has a clip removal tool that works. It nicely rounds out the flat tops of the wave.
As already mentioned, you can do it by hand with the waveform draw tool. Simply draw rounded curves where the flat top is.
