serr, thank you for that tip!!! I have a bunch of analog clips on a narration (where in the chain I can only guess was the pre). Lowering the offensive 100 milliseconds hasn't been working, as most are almost as annoying dropped 10db as they are at 0. As I mentioned, I've had good luck sniping out cycles at the clip and then, if it threw off a syllable, duping some cycles before or after. Takes way too much time I should be editing. Have been having meh luck using the Isotope DeClipper, though it's my first time pulling it out and trying to use it, so there's that. But if I isolate the it into an item and find the peak (SWS analyze and display peak) and up the item level a few db over that, and drop it down a few db to process, it absolutely can make deal killer spots usable.
Lest anyone think declippers can't do anything that eq and limiting won't, I'm now firmly in the camp that, with some parameter finesse, they can sometimes make the unusable into something usable. And this tip from serr, which seems counterintuitive at first (make it worse so it will get fixed better) works very well. I wouldn't do it on a whole program, just spot by spot.
I salute you, serr !!!
Now if I could only get RX 8 to not take down Reaper 10% of the times I pull it up....
