New!! SeeDeClip Duo: SeeDeClip Pro + DeClip Pro

There are now two versions of SeeDeClip. This is so the basic software can still be affordable, and to allow the more advanced features (which frankly take a a huge effort to add to the software) to be available to people who need them.

TRY OUR V2 (July 2008) DEMO now for the Lite and Pro versions!!

It's the first time I'm able to listen to the whole record by Red hot Chili Peppers 'Californication' on high volume! The record is so bad that the program warned of lost information. Can't remember but think it had a track with over 30 000 clips! Even my wife says it is a huge difference!

SeeDeClip Duo consists of:

Visual SeeDeClip CD declipping and research tool
Batch TxtDeClip text based declipper for streaming audio systems

SeeDeclip

SeeDeClip incorporates the DeClip engine with some powerful graphics routines to allow you to explore and examine your CD music - to make it sound better.
SeeDeClip uses 54,835 lines of fast C code in 170 source files to make your music sound better.

SeeDeClip Pro + Lite visual CD declipper features

Duo Lite Note: Duo Lite doesn't work on tracks larger than 80MB WAVs. Most tracks are around 35MB long.

Waveform analysis (channels, sample rate, format, duration)
Clip analysis (clips (L+R), max clip (L+R))
Level analysis (dB RMS level, peak level)
Active declipping (threshold adjustment, clip edge lift, gain limit)
Levelling (to dB target, by dB target, channel match, safety gap or unsafe)
Post process measurements (attenuation, RMS and max levels, clips fixed)
Free browsing of arbitrary (.wav) waveforms
Extensive zooming, scaling and panning (mouse and keyboard)
Preview function with graph memory
Axis functions (digital/analog display, linear/log/octave)
Special overlay graph technology (colour mixing by graph trace)
Extensive calculator (input tool and parsing calculator)
Multi-platform (Windows, Apple (ppc/X) and Linux (subject to dynamic libs)

CD Clipping Solved

A typical 'hot master' CD track will have a very flat loudness level, and in fact as can be see here, actually clips. In electronics when a signal clips, it runs out of voltage range and so the rise or fall of the signal 'stops', until the level recovered. Like chopping to tops off of the peaks and troughs. On a CD the voltage levels are stored numerically, in 16bit digital numbers. On a modern CD the signal runs out of numerical range and the effect is much the same as an electrical clip - the peaks and troughs get chopped off.

Before

The CuteStudio DeClip engine at the heart of SeeDeClip uses advanced heuristics to piece back together the missing information in the music and recover the shape of the waveform, in many cases with good accuracy. De-clipping/recovering the sound lost either at the recording or mastering stage has an interesting effect on the dynamics and indeed frequency content of the music, as you can see in the graph below, after processing with SeeDeClip.

After

The graphing software in SeeDeClip shows the peak and RMS levels for a compressed wave such as this. In fact behind each pixel there are over 15,000 music samples. If you look at the top graph you can see a bluish tinge around the solid white signal in the middle. This tinge tells us that the RMS level of the left hand channel is higher than that of the right channel. If the right channel was higher you would see a red/pink tinge, like you do at the start where the right channel was louder.

The processing in this case was not levelled so there is still a blue tinge around the lower 'after' graph.

Viewing digital and analog waveforms

Many people do not appreciate that the CD medium is actually quite coarse for music, in terms of sampling rate and the number of levels for quiet signals. The SeeDeClip graphing software can display the signal either as the actual digital signal, sample by sample, or as an analog 'join-the-dots' view. This was mainly added for interest as the actual digital shape is quite revealing.

FFTs

You can perform an FFT on a waveform, the application is perhaps rather limited for complex music, but you can still see how the before and after levels have been affected by closely studying the lower graph. The result here is in dB (selectable) - the dB is not relative to anything in particular currently.

Please read the documentation for more details.

TxtDeClip - Batch mode streaming CD audio declipping

Remaster was a previous text-based floating point declipper that pre-dated DeClip, and has been superceded by DeClip V2 Pro. SeeDeClip Duo is the most accurate declipping program to come out of CuteStudio Ltd and is possibly the best declipping program available today, anywhere.

TxtDeClip Pro is a part of SeeDeClip Duo and is a text program that is run from inside a command shell, like this:
It is designed for batch processing and integrating into digital music streaming systems and downloading services where the loudness war damage of CDs must be minimized.

More information about the DeClip digital waveform declipper can be found here .

Fast integer maths suit jukebox and fast batch applications, such as declipping on the fly.
Digital music streaming, for consistent level and smooth listenable sound.
Floating point suits accurate floating point declipping and levelling, useful for preprocessing - for example if you run a radio station you will use the levelling feature to equalise the RMS volume of all tracks. This could be used in high end CD players with for example 20bit DACs.
Works with 8bit, 16bit, 24bit, 32bit and 32bit floating point!
Batch mode and custom levelling and level matching
Resampling to higher or lower bitrates, e.g 96kHz
Contains 16bit integer, 32bit integer and 32bit floating point declipping routines.
Special dynamic clip fixing for provide the most accurate waveform predictions
Dithering output for remastering
RMS energy gain options for the audio loudness standard (replay gain).

Professional digital declipping/ restoration/ repair

Without DeClip Pro, your streamed audio sound may be uneven in level and have severe clipping distortion , which makes listeners lose interest and turn the sound down or off. Create a consistent, professional and high quality sound for yourself and your listeners.

Professional software for digital audio de-clipping

If you have problematic audio tracks that are clipped, this program will make a best-guess at reconstructing those missing areas. The biggest application is to repair modern CDs prior to listening, remastering and broadcasting.

TxtDeClip Pro is an essential tool for:

Radio Stations. Level and balance tracks to within 0.001dB per channel with repaired waveforms
DJs. Level and repair
Creating compilation CDs, either as a record company or just for listening in the car
A&R - compare music correctly - at exactly the same volume
Mastering: make sure channels and balanced, clips are removed and the full CD dynamic range is being used.
Mixing and recording for damage repair, levelling and effects (sound reversing can sound interesting!).
Clubs - give your customers a sound to return for, clip free and equal RMS volume.
