Getting started with How to use Accusonus De-Clipper

The ERA plugin bundle by Accusonus brings you a group of plugin tools that let you quickly repair audio under an easy-to-use graphic user interface.

Today we are going to be working with another plugin included in this bundle, called “De-Clipper”.

For the purpose of this tutorial we will be working in Ableton Live as the host application.

 

1. Open a Live Set that contains at least one audio track with noise that you wish to repair:

 

 

2. From the plugins list, look for Accusonus -> De-Clipper:

 

 

3. Add De-Clipper to your audio track:

 

 

4. Let’s now focus on the plugin controls:

 

 

At first, it is easy to see how most of the plugins included in the ERA’s bundle are very simple to use since they are designed under a single-knob operation philosophy.

In the case of the De-Clipper, this plugin can automatically detect and restore any clipped part of your audio, without compromising audio quality.

The specific parameters are:

• A/B Switch: This switch lets you toggle between configuration A and configuration B to easily test and A/B their differences.
• ON/OFF Switch: This switch lets you toggle the plugin ON/OFF. When it is set to OFF, the plugin is completely bypassed.
• Output gain: This slider controls the gain applied to the output of the processor.
• Quality: This is a 2-way toggle button that lets you select the quality of the processing as:
  • Standard: Designed for regular cases.
  • High: Designed for most demanding cases, requiring more computer resources.
• Type: Toggle button which enables and disables the processing of the plugin. This is very helpful when comparing the original and the processed signals. There are two types:
  • 1: Designed for the vast majority of clipping scenarios.
  • 2: Ideal for more intense audio repair.

 

For the purpose of this tutorial we will use the plugin to remove standard clipping. The parameters will be:

• A/B Switch: A.
• ON/OFF Switch: ON.
• Output gain: -3 dB.
• Quality: Standard.
• Type: 1

 

5. Apply the previous configurations and the plugin will look like this:

 

 

After we playback the track, the clipping has been removed!

At this point we have successfully demonstrated How to use Accusonus De-Clipper.
