ClippingĬlipping can be caused for different reasons, the most common one is singing or having the instrument you record too close to the microphone.

You can read about how to prevent distortion in your recordings in this post. Having those algorithms makes them a lot more precise than using a normal eq plugin.Īnd on top of that some of those plugins like de-noise plugins, get a profile of the sound to make a smarter reduction of the sound issue.īut sometimes is important to know what is causing the issue, cause maybe you could prevent it, for example with popping or sibilance. You can fix all of these issues to a more or less extent using plugins that have special algorithms that work with sound equalization. Things like popping, noise, humming, sibilance, and in a similar way. What is known as distortion is actually caused by clipping, you can read more at the end of the post.īut apart from clipping, there are other unwanted sound issues that can damage the quality of the audio. In audio files, there can be noises, clipping, humming that can cause bad audio quality. Distorted audio files and how to fix them You can fix a distorted audio file by using a de-clipper plugin that will regenerate the regions affected by clipping, to use it you just need to set the threshold, above that threshold, you will remove the clipping and the rest of the audio file will be unaffected. Now lets see how you can fix the distortion.

Sometimes you could end with a great result that sounds almost like the original. However, there are tools you can use to remove peaks or noise caused by the distortion, softening its effects. In this post, I will show you how you can fix distorted audio files and other types of distortion.īut before I start you should know that when the signal is distorted parts of the audio waveform are lost.
