Restoration VPI's  -  DePop

DePop is the first real-time restoration processor designed specifically to remove low frequency impulse noise bursts, typically associated with optical film sound.

In contrast to clicks, the frequency range of this type of noise is very close to that of dialog, compounding the difficulty of removal.

Pops are removed by adjusting the 'Threshold' slider, and a 'Voice Protection Slider' helps to prevent the generation of artifacts during dialog passages. The tool also includes the 'Audition' function, enabling the monitoring of removed elements only, further simplifying the process. In addition, a new sonogram display, optimized for low-frequency signal, enables the visual display of pops.
