I'm not sure if I made this up, but I remember being able to redraw the waveform of an audio file to de-click an audio file in a DAW, but I can't remember which one. I don't think it was a standalone editor.

A few DAWs can do this. I know Zynewave Podium can, and so can Pro Tools.

I haven't tried Zynewave Podium, but a quick search shows that it's called Waveform Repair in Pro Tools, you just need to hide the clip gain line. Cheers the shout, though I'm curious if there might be any other programs as well

Audacity can also do it. That's what I personally use (I have it set up as the external editor in Reaper).

I'm pretty sure DP 11 sports a spectrum style editor as well. If that's indeed what you're talking about.

I think it might have been Audacity that I first used this feature, it's similar to Pro Tools in effect, zooming in and using the draw tool once you can see the individual samples. I haven't used DP before, though it turns out it's visible in its manual nunder Tool Palette Quick Reference:

Pencil: In the waveform edit layer, drag the Pencil tool over the waveform to redraw the sample data in the audio file. In other layers, the Pencil inserts data relevant to that layer (tempo, beats, volume,etc.)

If you really want to remove clicks without removing too much other audio material, you need a spectral editor like that in Izotope's RX and others.

Cubase, Logic

True, spectral editors are a valuabe tool, but if speed's the game then just drawing it out can be a quick solution.

I completely forgot Logic could do this, however it seems to be a destructive edit, which is probably why I forgot about it.
Haven't used cubase myself, but it looks like it's called waveforn restoration there.

I always use the Soundforge Pro pencil tool for that sort of stuff.
