DC-Art is a program that removes pops, tics, crackles, buzzes and surface noise
from any recording. It gives the user all of the software tools necessary to perform
high quality mono or stereo noise reduction. In addition DC-Art is a powerful audio
wavefile editor for use in general audio applications. DC-Art is effective for
"cleaning up" old cylinder recordings, hill and dale Edison Diamond Discs (verticals),
old 78's (laterals), and of course, modern vinyl LP's and 45 rpm records.
All of the algorithms used in DC-Art use double precision floating point math to
ensure high quality audio performance. DC-Art performs its editing in a non-destructive
manner. The source file remains un-modified; only the destination file receives the
modifications. Not all wavefile editing programs work in this manner, and some actually
modify the source file directly on your hard drive.
Features
- An Impulse Noise filter for removing "ticks", "clicks", and "pops" from a recording.
- Continuous Noise (Hiss) and Crackle filter for removing surface noise

- High quality flexible reverb algorithm for adding room sound and stereo simulation.
- Lowpass, Bandpass, and Highpass filters with 1st, 2nd or 3rd order slopes.
- 10-band Graphic Equalizer to equalize your recordings to create a more pleasing tonal balance.
- Tunable Notch filter for attenuation of Hum or Acoustical Feedback from a recording.
- Fade in, Fade out and Gain change functions with either a linear or a logarithmic envelope vs. time.
