Anyone know of a plugin friendly audio editing program?

(1/1)

Hi all!

I am tired of doing manual tasks for removing clapping in audience tapes, and I would like to look into coding a plugin to an audio editing tool that can do the job for me. Does anyone have any experience coding such plugins? If so, do you have a ny hints to where I might go for information? I am an experienced programmer myself, but I have never done this kind of thing...

oh, and if this plugin already exists (a regular limiter/compressor/gate is not what I am looking for), please do tell me :-)

After a tiny bit of research, this seems like a very nice resource for this:

I've had good luck suppressing loud applause using the "Declicker" and/or "Decrackler" functions provided with Magix Audio Cleaning Lab.  Several other programs have click removal as well including iZotope and Audacity.
Audacity's "Click Removal" tool is under the Effects tab, and although it is quite powerful, it doesn't run in real time, so some trial and error is needed.

In fact, there's a thread on this topic here:

Good luck!

Ha - I was just about to post my thread and you beat me to it.

One thing I'll add: The new Limiter module in the most recent Audacity actually does a really great job with clapping and other short peaks when set to its "Soft Limiter" preset.  I used it for a few recent recordings with loud audience applause, and also on one where there was a small choir accompanied by a very loud percussion section close to my mics and it did a great job with both.
