Re: [Gwc-general] A question regarding procedure

[Jeff W. <we...@ya...>]

This is what I do:

1) Find the "noise sample" region
2) Declick the "noise sample" region
3) Do your denoising
4) Finally, declick the track.

The reason for this, is you don't want the noise sample to include 
clicks, which will in a sense corrupt the noise sample, because noise 
should be more or less a constant sound, whereas clicks are localized 
impulsive sound.

The alternative would be to declick the whole track first, then denoise
the whole track.  I don't have anything other than a hunch, but I am 
guessing that because declicking will tend to reduce the "energy" of the 
declicked region slightly, that the final result will not be as good as 
the method I first suggested.  This is worth of a "pepsi taste test", 
for those of us who remember what that piece of advertising was all 
about :-)
