Re: Ogg: Lossy compression - a weapon against hard clipping?
Reply #11 –
It will change the samples surrounding repaired regions because it runs the signal through an inverse fourier transform, but the change is less than from a lossy codec.
this is exactly what I was talking about. so there's no way to disable that, right?
(are you the developer of this tool?)
theoretically it could do something simple like: copy non clipped samples as is from the original version... because the plugin surely "knows" which samples it considered not clipped
Another option worth considering is CoolEditPro / Adobe Audition. This tool is very old. I don't have much experience with it. It seemed to perform worse a few times I tried it.
it's terrible, yeah. IIRC what it does is to insert a (quadratic?) smooth ramp, sometimes with inappropriate sizes. it doesn't restore HF "interruptions" on long clipped regions, and very often produces results that sound worse than original.
