Reclaim's spectrogram with clicks and hum marked, and the repair faders
The full Reclaim window

It shows what it found.

A live spectrogram marks every click, the hum and its harmonics, and the plosives, and a line under it lists what it found. REMOVED plays only what it took out, so you can judge the repair.

Reclaim's spectrogram with findings marked
Found

Marked on the screen.

Reclaim analyses the audio as it plays and marks clicks, hum, crackle and plosives on the spectrogram. The FOUND line lists them in plain words, and FIX ALL switches on the repairs that apply.

The repairs

Seven faders, each with its own switch.

Denoise, reverb, click, hum, crackle, de-ess and plosive each get a fader and a power switch. De-clip repairs clipped peaks, and RESTORE, PRESERVE and MIX set how hard it works and how much of the original stays.

Listen

Hear what it took out.

ORIGINAL, RESTORED and REMOVED are one click apart, with an A/B and a bypass. The REMOVED meter shows how much came out. Start from one of 56 presets, such as Lead Vocal Gentle or Salvage Low Quality, then adjust.

Whole file

In hosts that support ARA2.

When your DAW supports ARA2, Reclaim works on the whole recording at once, plays back with no added latency, and keeps your spectral repairs inside the project file.

Everything inside.

The details, the demos and the numbers we measured.

Seven repairs

Find it. Fix it.
Hear what it took.

Found

A live spectrogram marks clicks, hum and its harmonics, crackle and plosives. A line under it lists what it found, and FIX ALL switches on the repairs that apply.

Denoise

Takes steady noise out of a recording. RESTORE sets how hard it works and PRESERVE protects the wanted sound.

Reverb

Pulls back the room in a recording that was made in the wrong space.

Click and crackle

Finds clicks and crackle and repairs the gap, instead of filtering the whole recording.

Hum

Finds the hum, such as 50 or 60 Hz and its harmonics, and removes it.

De-ess and plosive

Tames harsh S sounds, and cuts the low thump of a plosive without thinning the rest of the voice.

De-clip

Repairs peaks that were flattened by a recording that went too hot.

Listen

ORIGINAL, RESTORED and REMOVED are one click apart. REMOVED plays only what came out, so you can hear if it took something it should not have.

56 presets

Starting points in categories, such as Lead Vocal Gentle and Salvage Low Quality. Save your own, and flip between two settings with A/B.

Whole file in ARA2 hosts

In a DAW that supports ARA2, Reclaim works on the whole recording, plays back with no added latency and keeps your spectral repairs in the project.
