Declip doesn't work as expected...

Maybe I do something wrong, but I have a clipped recording, and first it decliped only the negative part of the signal... I made some experiments with different settings, and after I made one recognize, it decliped both, but the result was completely unusable, it treated somehow also those parts which did not clip at all and destroyed the original sound, as if it went through a compressor and a transient smoother...

I guess I did something wrong, but it was a different material. It worked with the standard setting. As decliping would usually create a higher peak value as before, it would be nice to have an option to automatically do a normalize afterwards…

I'm not really sure what happened there, but it's good to hear that it works again now. I'm afraid that normalization would be tricky to add, since it requires two passes, and DeClip is offered as a plug-in (plug-ins are single-pass only). It would be possible to add a limiter, but that defeats the whole purpose of the plug-in, I think.

I was working in Acoustica. There the normalization could be a box to tick... What I did wrong was an assumption to help out and tell the plugin the clipping is at max level. Using the default settings was fine...
Actually it is a common case. I make a recording with my Zoom, and its clipped. Then I would simply want to repair it in the most obvious way. It would not need any setting, it juts finds the clipped spots and does its magic. It could be a treatment different than with a plugin. It would just reconstruct the part which is missing above max level... Should be much less complex than with all those settings in the plugin...
