tricky manual SBE removal

[Five]

CEP/Audition has smoothing by default and a nice plug for fixing pops if you can't get the edit 100% perfect sometimes. scroll down here:

don't forget that after you've edited out all the little gaps you'll have to recut the show on sector boundaries.

tried that and made no difference its a lot more dull than your average tick/pop. have you tried removing the SBE in the sample and listening?

I'll give it a shot tomorrow or the next day and post back here.

k thanks, want me to email you a longer clip?

I think you are making this job more difficult than is necessary. I don't see why you are messing about with a spectrum view of the wave. Just zoom on in with your wave editor in edit or wave mode (like the view I posted above) and snip out the zero samples. It's easy.

I do this with EAC. I just zoom in and cut out the middle part of the gap, leaving just enough at either end that when I zoom in a bit more, I can still tell where the gap is. Then I zoom in so that I can see each individual sample and I cut out all the zero samples. That's all it should take.

you still have to listen for a pop after the edit and spectral view can give a visual assist nothing wrong with that. When it comes to the actual editing of course use waveform view.

this is totally one of those shows where just editing out the zero samples doesn't work.

First, I turned off smoothing...


Then I highlighted the zero samples and only the zero samples.

spectrum:


then hit delete.

Especially in the left channel you can see that this isn't a perfect edit, there is either a slight repetition or else a piece missing.

Here's a zoomed out look after the edit.



I got a slightly better result sound-wise by widening the area I delted and turning on smoothing.



There was still a "pop". This one is very resistant to fixing.

I would try to get a DAO source for this someway somehow. If this is all that's out there just tinker with it until you've got it sounding just right, then recut etc.

thanks a lot for that, the SBEs were introduced by the taper and he has supposebly been telling people not to trade it but i managed to get hold of it. apparently he has had police troubles ( ) or something to do with this so it looks doubtful on getting a perfect copy.

do you think its important to retrack it exactly the same or can i just track it like i normally would a one track show. thanks

If you think you can improve the tracking go for it.
