X-Crackle is designed to eliminate subtle clicks and pops found in damaged vinyl records and other imperfect audio sources. By optimizing its parameters, the plugin automatically reduces surface noise while preserving the integrity of the original sound. Advanced psycho-acoustic noise reduction techniques ensure that the remaining audio remains clear and untouched, providing a cleaner listening experience without compromising quality.

The plugin features a dual-window display called the X-Crackle Scope, which simplifies the process of adjusting parameters for optimal results. This scope simultaneously shows the original waveform and a sonogram that highlights the crackles being reduced, enabling precise control over noise attenuation. Users can visually monitor the effectiveness of the noise reduction in real time, making the restoration process intuitive and efficient.

X-Crackle allows users to adjust the crackle attenuation from subtle to strong, accommodating various levels of noise severity. The threshold control helps tailor the plugin’s sensitivity to different crackle intensities, with the display correlating crackle reduction to the chosen threshold. An attenuation meter provides clear feedback on the amount of crackle being removed, ensuring thorough yet natural restoration of audio recordings.
