Gnome Wave Cleaner is an application to aid in denoising (removing
|
|
hiss and clicks) from audio files. It is primarily intended for
|
|
cleaning up recordings from vinyl albums.

Here is how the author describes gwc:

|
WHAT IS IT?
|
|
|
|
It is a result of never wanting to boot to MS windows again. The
|
|
only reason I had left was because I have this wonderful software to
|
|
record digital audio, and the dehiss and declick using some very
|
|
cool software (COOLEDIT 2000, and Declick by M. Paar), to do the
|
|
audio restoration.
|
|
|
|
I checked out some of the ongoing projects in linux, and either they
|
|
crashed a lot or, didn't do what I needed, so I started this effort
|
|
out of selfishness and also as a mechanism to learn the GNOME API
|
|
for GUI programming. A lot of the code shows the efforts of that
|
|
learning curve, and could certainly be cleaned up, but I am
|
|
personally pleased with the overall design. The goals are simple --
|
|
denoise, dehiss and amplify audio files in the Microsoft wave
|
|
format, 16 bit only, stereo only, and assuming a sampling rate of
|
|
44,100 hz.
