Cleanup Audio - Scan for Clicks Cleanup Audio - Scan for ClicksVinylStudio is capable of finding and fixing most of the clicks and scratches in your vinyl recordings automatically. That said, click repair is not an exact science, and some form of manual intervention is sometimes needed to get the best results, especially if your recordings have a lot of heavy clicks or, in particular, scratches. It is important to listen to the results, and using headphones helps a lot.
To scan your recording for clicks, click on the Cleanup Audio tab if necessary and then click on the Scan for Clicks button 
in the lower toolbar. This displays the following dialog:
You can either scan the entire file, or make a selection first (by shift-clicking and dragging in the waveform display) and then scan (or re-scan) just that.
There are three main settings which affect the operation of the click detector (you will be prompted for these each time you initiate a scan):
The default settings are recommended for first-time users, or for material which you have not scanned before, and represent a good compromise to find as many clicks as possible without adversely affecting sound quality. For more information on how and when to adjust these settings, refer to the Tips for Removing Clicks page.
Depending on its condition, scanning an LP side takes around 2 minutes on a reasonably fast PC. Once the scan is complete, you can listen to the results and compare them with the original, uncorrected version by clicking on the 
button in the toolbar. All changes are stored in a separate file - your original recording is not changed - and you can undo the scan (Ctrl+Z) if you don't like the results.
When scanning fails to find a click or impairs the quality of the music, you can rescan the offending area with different settings, or, if necessary, repair the click manually. For more information on how to get the best out of your vinyl, refer to the Tips for Removing Clicks page.
