[Gwc-general] Interesting use for the "estimate signal" button

[John C. <ci...@pu...>]

Hi All,

I just wanted to mention another use for 
the "Estimate Signal" button which I 
just found.
I had been using it as an alternate for 
the "Remove weaker pops/clicks" in cases 
where that button just didn't do the 
right thing, however I had noticed that 
in many cases the "Estimate Signal" 
button did a better job of filling in 
the spot where the other tools left a 
little dropout.  But just now I was 
cleaning a recording I had dubbed from 
an old reel tape, and discovered to my 
surprise that this same tool can 
actually correct small tape dropouts!
It somehow averages the signal before 
and after the dropout into the hole, and 
is impressive  since there really wasn't 
a good way to do this before that I'm 
aware of.
Anyway, wanted to pass it along. It may 
help you in some cases to recover a 
brief dropout.
