Correcting Pops and Clicks With the Pencil
The Pencil tool allows you to correct clicks and pops or clipping, by manually drawing
in the detailed waveform display.
To correct pops and clicks with the Pencil:
1 Navigate to the desired section of the waveform by clicking on the overview.
∏ Tip: Pops and clicks are often the loudest part of an audio file, so you may find the
Functions > Search Peak command useful when looking for them.
2 Use the zoom controls to magnify the section of the waveform that you want to
correct.
3 Use the Arrow tool to scrub the audio around the pop or click.
This will help you to identify exactly where you need to draw.
4 Select the Pencil tool, and drag from left to right (including up or down movements) to
draw in a new shape to the waveform spike. The edges of drawn sections are
automatically smoothed. Press Option to affect both sides of stereo waveforms.
