A video I'm working on contains an audio track with audible "clicks" due to a snare drum clipping. Does Vegas Pro 13 provide a way to remove those clicks? I did not mix the audio in Vegas Pro. The audio is in .mp3 format. Thanks for your help!
There are many Declick /Decrackle as well as Clipped peak restoration plug-ins available. Some can probably be found for free, or a functional demo version. I'm not sure any are included w/ VP. Sound Forge pro includes some. and would be a recommended companion program to have even otherwise.
It's also likely possible to repair it manually by redrawing the waveform clicks in an audio 'editing' or 'spectral' restoration app
It's difficult to state what would be best approach w/o actually hearing it, so if you can post a clip, that would give us a better idea of the severity and recommended fix.
If you're talking about digital clipping from the snare, fixing the audio could be quite difficult. I've used Izotope's RX2 to fix some digital clipping with truly astonishing success. In my case, some vocals were a wee bit hot, and the fixed audio gave no hint of clipping. If your clipping has mangled the audio badly, however, then you might have to settle for merely improved rather than fixed audio.
Every audio problem is different, but I've had very good luck using iZotope RX3. If you want, go ahead and render out the audio to a WAV file, upload it to a media site, and I'll fix it for you.
Everyone thanks for your help. What I did was go back to the original .wav track for the snare and I used Audacity which provides a click remover. I snipped off the little bit at the top of each waveform that was clipping. I copied my mix settings and plug-ins from the original snare track to the "de-clicked" snare track. It worked great! I'll look into Izotope as well.
