- Reduce distracting clicks in restoration projects before further editing or mastering.

## How it works

- Upload one supported audio file, such as MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, MP4, or M4A.
- Choose a click detection threshold from conservative to very aggressive.
- Set the burst threshold to target short, medium, or long bursts, or disable burst detection.
- Select Adaptive detection, which is recommended, or the Overlap-Save method, then download the processed audio file.

## Use cases

- Restoring digitized vinyl records with surface clicks and pops.
- Cleaning recordings affected by brief digital transmission or recording errors.
