AFDeClick is a program to remove clicks from vinyl recordings (wav-files). Unlike other programs of the tyupe, it does not require the adjustment of parameters by the user.

Features

Advantages

• the algorithm has no parameters to be optimized/adjusted
• the algorithm is completely level independent
• the algorithm is nearly completely independent from the width of clicks
• the algorithm only changes the click-part of the data
• if the program runs multiple times against the same audio data it rarely detects new clicks and therefore cannot damage the audio material 

Disadvantages

• the algorithm cannot detect all clicks (like other DeClickers)
• the algorithm may wrongly affect the audio material. This manipulation is normally of another kind / in another place like that of other programs so that it is inaudible to me (in contrast to other programs). But everyone can make his own decision about that.
• Some clicks are embedded in low-frequency distorsions (plop). After removing the click it is possible to hear a 'plop' where there was seemingly none before. (This applies normally to strong scratches because the mechanical and electrical part has to adust itself after this).
• Strong scratches are not often removed.
• the algorithm is fairly slow

Other Factors

• The processed wav-files carry only the pure audio data and may therefore be smaller then the original ones (no marker lists etc.).
