I can't say enough to express my gratitude for this tutorial! I had a WAV file that was exported from Garageband that I needed to sync to video. Somehow the metronome got exported with the audio. I no longer have the Macbook that I recorded it on so I couldn't re-export a clean file. I thought I was screwed and that I'd have to scrap the video. After watching this, I opened the WAV file in Audacity and was able to locate a section that was just quiet enough to pull a measure of the click track from. Once I got the snippet synced, I used the Invert effect and copy/pasted the snippet for the duration of the audio. It worked like a charm! Keep up the good work. Thank you! Enjoy the coffee. 😉
Thank you so much for your great tutorials! For removing the click sound what if you don't have any space on the recorded track where there is only click? The track I want to remove metronome sounds from is an acoustic piano recorded stereo. I tried recording a click track but could only produce a mono track and it didn't show the waves that you showed in your video above. Thank you for your support!!
That's going to be tougher but not impossible. You can zoom into the wave and chop out one of the clicks along with the most silent piano. If you are really accurate this shouldn't effect the quality too much once it's out of phase. Alternatively once you record the click you can bounce it out, this will give you a stereo file with the click on
@@VirtualVerghini Thank you for your reply! What do you mean by "Alternatively once you record the click you can bounce it out, this will give you a stereo file with the click on"?
You can make a recording of your metronome and then use that file out of phase. Mute all your tracks, create a one bar cycle region(c), add the metronome (k), bounce it (CMD B). Save it then drag it back into logic. Now you can continue with the steps on the video
I wonder if this would work when the click from headphones leaked onto an acoustic guitar track. I supposed you'd need to record a pass wearing the headphones, but not playing. What I've been doing is automating the click so that it shuts off at the end of the song and gets really quiet in places where it might be heard within the song - this prevents the problem in the first place.
Absolutely but even better than rerecording a pass just find some clicks that bled through alone, copy paste them and pop them out of phase. Great idea to automate the click !!!
I could cry this is so great. Thank you!! my computer was stolen a couple weeks ago with a track that was SO CLOSE to being done. I had bounced out a copy the day before I lost my laptop but this dingdong forgot to turn the click off. Anyways.. Question though - works perfect before the track starts, but I can hear leftovers of the click once music comes in. Levels of the two tracks are the same - any ideas why? Thank you times one thousand.
There are 4 clicks, usually the first is at a different volume to the others. It could be that you are removing them in the wrong order. Make sure that if you are in 4/4 you get the first four beats and loop them. Good luck!
For a full cancellation the waves have to be equal. If you make one wave bigger than another it will result in most of the wave being cancelled but the volume difference would remain.
Why is this not working for me😭There is a 2 bar section at the end of the audio where I got a snippet of the click track and I managed to invert the click track so that it went silent, but the original audio still plays the click😫

Wow fucking shit... it's been 20 years I'm doing this and didn't know this trick.... thanks!
Fascinating and extremely useful.
You literally saved my brain from meltdown. 😜😜😜
just watched this and wanted to say thanks!

How did you get it to line up exactly for the loop? I keep trying to line up the tracks but since i cant get it exact it wont cancel the click

@@VirtualVerghini I tried doing this exact same thing and it's not working. Any suggestions? Thanks
@@damion2226 Yeah it's also not working for me
Great
What app is that?
Hi, is there a plugin you suggest?
Yes! The one in the video
Hello! I would like to hire you to replicate this fix on four mp3 tracks, is that possible?
Sure thing
Drop me your email and ill get in touch
@@VirtualVerghiniMe too I need it badly

ps backup your backup

Just out of curiousity what would happen if you took the inverted click track and made it louder than the one your removing? Would it phase less?
For a full cancellation the waves have to be equal. If you make one wave bigger than another it will result in most of the wave being cancelled but the volume difference would remain.
@@VirtualVerghini so like if you made one twice as loud you would hear half the sound

You have to add the two channels together
Thanks for your vedio
Does this principle shared in the video work in garage band aswell
This works in every Digital audio workstation ... Providing you have a tool that allows you to switch the phase of a signal
How did you record only click sound from choir track ?
A student bounced put their recording with the click on and lost the original project file 🙈
is this how active noise cancelling works as well?
I think this is how it works but I could be completely wrong.
What if you don't have a pre-recorded Click Track to work with?
Press K and now you have one. 😃
Thank you brother
Can I hire you to do this for me?
Yes i do lots of audio restoration work. Drop me a DM with details and email address
hi can audacity do this too?
If it has multiple simultaneous tracks then it can.
This was too complicated for me, also I didn't have a file with just the metronome to remove.
Genius!!!
brilliant!
DUDE!
it it not need in real life
did you know how to remove click from live instrument recorded from microphone
doesnt work
Zoom in more
didn't work did exactly what you said
