8 – CLEAN / CLEAN PLUS
•
You can use a number of very powerful pro-quality tools for restoration, en-
hancement and mastering as well as internal and external effects to process
the sound of each track. In addition, you can open each track directly in
WaveLab Lite, the Audio Editor that is part of the CLEAN software package,
and process it with extremely powerful editing and restoration tools. Be-
sides many other useful functions, WaveLab Lite does e.g. offer sample-ac-
curate editing, graphic editing of the audio waveform directly on the screen
as well as an automatic audio error detection and correction.
Processing can be done in real time so that you can monitor the effect or by calculating
and creating a file. Find more information on audio editing in CLEAN starting on page 26.
For information on audio editing in WaveLab Lite, please read the WaveLab Lite docu-
mentaion. It can be found on the product CD-ROM or in the WaveLab Lite directory.

Using the AutoClean function, you can let CLEAN analyse audio for clicks,
crackling and noise. You can preselect one of three restoration modes of
different strengths. CLEAN analyses the audio and automatically adjusts the
respective restoration effects accordingly. The five most important restora-
tion effects provide Audition buttons which let you separately monitor the
signal parts removed by each effect.
Please read more on page 28.

Using the audio editor WaveLab Lite, that’s part of the CLEAN package,
you can define a specific noise finger print. This can then be used in CLEAN
to remove this specific noise using the Finger Print DeNoiser.
Read more on page 29. Detailed information about WaveLab Lite can be found in its own
documentation. Please read it, it is worth it!

You want to improve the sound of a recording with a bland sound? You can
let CLEAN analyse a better sounding reference track that you play back via
your sound card (e.g. from your computer’s CD drive) or that resides as a
Wave file somewhere on your hard disk. Then you can apply the results of
the analysis to the bland sounding files. Listen and wonder how!
