VST/DirectX clipping repair

Anyone know of any plugin for the likes of wavelab etc that
will repair audio clipping? Like when you record something
too loud and it distorts on the high amplitudes.

ummm use a compressor or normalizer?

i can't think of any names at the moment, but there's loads
out there.....i think there's one with wavelab

Well, I need something to repair clipping that's already
happened y'see, not just prevent it from happening.
Compressing or normalising doesn't work when there's already
distortion in the audio. At least I can't get it to work. :/

oh i get what you mean

i dunno how you'd get rid of that

i'd have thought that compression/normalization would have
helped at least....

don't ask me how to do compression though....i've never been
able to get my head round it! lol

i can do it to a certain extent

but i dunno if i've got it right
have a listen at my site for a taste of what my
compression abilities are like

i think that you might have to re sample your audio though
mate

don't quote me though!

hope it works out

pretty damned difficult to fix copletely seeing as the sound
wave has been broken.

id try turning the volume way down, and then trying to
compress it back up to around -6db. it may, just may,
smoothen the break over a little. then you might be able to
do something about fixing it.

Ever tried a Limiter ?!

A limiter would be to prevent clipping in the first place? I
have a recording (several actually) where the recording
level was set too high and it's clipped in places. I can't
re-record and I can't prevent it happening again, as I have
no influence over whoever gives me the recordings. If it's
just one or two clicks I can re-draw over the wave peaks
using goldwave, but there's far too many in some of these
gigs.
Will a limiter help in this situation? If so, tell me how!
I have Soundprobe 2 which has a clipping repair tool, but
I'd like to find a better one.
I'll check out SF, thanks Bremzen, not bothered with that
before since I have Goldwave, Soundprobe and Wavelab.
