Hello Robin,
I have this track which was recorded with too much gain: Dropbox
I have applied the following two processes on it:
- Clip Repair: Threshold 0.0 dB, Reconstruction Ratio 100%, Without Limiter
- Amplitude → Gain: -4.0 dB
Although the resulting waveform looks good and the peaks are below 0 dB, the audio sounds terrible. It has a sort of constant static noise accompanied with waves of artifacts that repeat with a period of approximately 1.2 seconds.
I have SpectraLayers Pro 10.0.50 on Windows 11. The file is mono WAV 48kHz/24bit. I have tested the standalone application as well as the ARA extension in Cubase, with the same results.
Could something be done about it?
Thank you and best regards
Miloslav
Can you upload the end result and screenshot the static noise that you see ?
Regarding the constant noise, I cannot locate it in the graph. However, the repeating noise bursts are clearly audible and also visible on the graph. Here I have highlighted the third of those bursts:
And here is the resulting audio file: Dropbox
I was eager to test SpectraLayers Pro 11 on the same file, but unfortunately, the resulting audio contains the same artifacts. While RX 11 Elements De-clip plugin processes the given file without any problems.
Didn’t have time for 11.0.0 but working on it for the next patch !

Same issue here. After using similar settings my audio sounds way worse with added noise and some weird artifacts.
Version 11.0.10 solves the problem with artifacts appearing at regular intervals. Although there is still a room for improvement regarding the de-clip module, for me the result is usable now.
Thank you, Robin!
