DeClicker For Free In Audacity! (Put on your good headphones!) 

I'm Paul L. and I approve this message.

Joe, I have been struggling with this for years. You've just saved my dumb ass.

A HUGE thank you to Paul Licameli and Joe Essay for this post!!!! Like most voiceover artists, I've been struggling with this problem for years. The RX8 and other versions are just too expensive for a home studio setup. You two guys are a present from heaven!!! Thank you.

This is a life saver! I am not a native English speaker trying to improve my pronunciation, and apparently I have a really sticky clicky way of speaking. This plugin is a miracle! Props to the creater and thanks for displaying it here on your channel.

I spent several hours unsuccessfully trying to remove a stubborn click in a vocal (singing) track. With this plug-in I was able to fix the problem in five minutes. Thanks!

Man.... This should be the first video in search whenever someone searches for mouth clicks. You saved so many hours for me...THANK YOU SO MUCH..!!!!!!!! May God Bless You...!!!!

Man !! I've been looking for this everywhere ! you're a life saver! Thank you very much for sharing this info and making this video!

Beautiful! Thank you so much for responding (from a different video)! This worked so well!! And yes, thanks Paul L. for creating this plugin!

You are the first person to actually help me install a file properly and be able utilize it to my benefit. I Thank YOU!!!!

Thank you Joe and thanks for Paul's great plugins. They really help me a lot and save my precious off-duty time on editing clips.

thanks for this! just about to try it out, waiting for my bounce to complete so wanted to use the time to say thank you so much and you seem like a really nice guy!

Thank you so much for sharing!! Your audio is as smooth as butter and if I can harness a fraction of that through your tutorials I'll be happy haha

Paul L. and Joe Essay; as a guy really struggling with mouth noises, you guys are my fricken' heros! Thank you.

You have saved my audiobook narrator life. Thank you so much! Going through and editing and re recording was taking so much time.

i love listening to your voice. it's so calming. awesome vid btw, really helpful

I LOVE PAUL. I LOVE YOU. And I love whoever inventing and sharing this. You all save my life. I kept eating apples for years. But with this, the problem is gone in a blink of an eye.

You just saved what little hair I have left on my head. Clicks made me pull out my locks, and now, in one fell swoop, they disappear. Usage of the De-Clicker did change the tone of my recording, but I shall play with it as you recommended. THANK YOU for keeping me out of the wig store!

Thank you so much. I spent weeks, idk months looking for how to remove mouth clicks. I struggled a lot with Audacity's and Premiere Pro's built in Declicker which are basically useless. It made me really stressed out about my audio quality. This plugin really gave me so much hope. I got tons of mouth clicks so... Thank you so much Joe. Thank you so much Paul.

Oh my god, thank you so much for this! I record meditations for Insight Timer and have been having a hell of time with mouth clicks since started to record on a professional microphone. I've recorded the same two hours over five times. This just saved me! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

OMG! You voice Chester, Poop, and Mrs Potato on STA Studios!!! I am a huge fan!

Thanks a million for this! Great video. Very clear and to the point. And extremely helpful!

Many thanks, Joe! It worked really well with an audio track of a modular synth that was clicking a lot.

Finally, the answer to my biggest problem :D Thank you so much for sharing! ♥

Thank you so much! This was what I have searching for! You were to the point and this totally helps. Thank you again!!

Thank you guys very much! You and Paul L solved my problem! 💖💖

Joe, THANK YOU for digging this up! You just saved me some cash. Great find!

I have only tested it briefly using the default settings and I am truly impressed! Thank you for sharing this gem. If this works like my testing shows it will save me hours of editing.

Holy moly, I've been looking up so many tutorials how to get rid of mouth clicks for literally months, and they say things like "Chew gum/shout into the microphone to cover mouth clicks" and they don't work. Then, I came across your tutorial on Declicker, and it solved my problems. And yes, I need these for my 2D animations because my Vocals, like a lot of us have said, sound terrible with mouth clicks. Gotta give kudos to you, sir for the tutorial and and Mr Paul L for inventing this cool plug in!! I was concerned if this was going ot work since I was using windows, but it works. My new 2D animations are going to sound loads better from now on!! Apologies for shouting in advance but THANK GOD. Now if God can get rid of corona soon, that would be super nice!

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much!

Incomprehensibly helpful, subscribed, great content.

Thank you Joe! Just recorded a new story and had like 40x the usual mouth noises. Going to play around with this, but I definitely see the potential. Thanks again!

THANK YOU so much!! Exactly what I had been looking for for a long time!

Huge help. Thank you, and thanks to Paul L for designing it.

This was very helpful! Thank you for sharing!

The BEST tutorial i found for this problem. thank you

Thanks a ton Joe! Made my day!

Thank you for this. I never thought I would install Audacity again after almost 15 years working of with Reaper, Logic, Sonar and Pro Tools (not necessarily all at once, though), but this is the best free solution that I could find and it actually worked great. I even rendered the audio out, put it against the original recording and flipped the phase just to check if the quality held up, and it did! I got a full cancelation of everything except for the clicks. So, again, thank you!

Wow. This will save me soooo much time. I was trying to fix each one individually and couldn't always find them. Thanks

Wow. This is amazing. THANK YOU, Joe!

this plug -in is a gift from the heavens. thanks for the video!

thank you for such a helpful tips man!

Thank you! Well explained and worked great for me! Cheers

This is so incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing.

I like this video because I have learned something valuable in addition to solving my issue. Thank you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS MAN!! IT WORKS PERFECTLY

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! The best explanation - extremely helpful.

You're so easy-going. Great voice. Thanks for these videos!! I use Audacity for a small podcast. Very helpful!

You really helped me Thank You ❤️🙏🏼

THANK YOU. You are literally saving lives, because you save us so much time!!!

Thank you so much!! So helpful!

Thank you. This is a very helpful tip.

Fantastic video! Thank you :)

As a noisy mouther (listening to my recordings makes me want to punch myself in the neck) this is a godsend. Thanks!

Hi, This plugin did work superbly even on default settings. I was working on the audio version of my new book. Clicks are gone for good. Deessser is cool too. Many thanks.

love this thanks Joe!

Meu Pai! Eu procurei tanto por isso! Grato eternamente a você, meu amigo! Forte abraço!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank u very much man really helped a lot

Thank you, thank you both!

Thank you bro - big big thanks!

Thank you so much! You really helped solve a headacke I had! BUT in my case I don't know why it defects the voice over if to apply it on large areas of audio, but in small steps, applying only to problematic zones works great (default settings)!!! If someone has the same issue it can help! So thank you once again! I have put "like" on the very beginning of the video when you exactly described the issue that I had! And of course thank for walking us through the whole process! (on Windows the possible way to the necessary folder instead of Applications is Programme Files / Audacity / Plug-Ins and when you have those Plug-Ins with the status New - press the Enable button a bit lower). Great voice talent! Subscribed:) P.S.: Oh, now I see you mentioned the way to the Plug-Ins folder in the description, but usually people don't read descriptions carefully:)) or is it just my case?:)

Thank you for these!

Thank you Joe!

Thanks for another great video.

Oh damn thank you so much! That saved my vocal recording

You're a huge help man, thank you!

This plug in is awesome ... thanks a million

Saving my life - thank you.

Excellent! Thanks!

Amazing video!

This is fantastic

You have made my day

thank you sooo much!!

Holy shit that sounded amazing.

Maaaan, thank youuuu and thanks to Pail Licameli 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you so much.

Appreciate this video...I love this program. I use it over Logic

I know this was made for speech, but this plugin does wonders for vinyl transfers of music for removing the numerous smaller background clicks, especially in quiet passages.

wow, thnx so much

Oh thank you thank you thank you!!!!

ohhh great! thanks!

thank you so much

thnx for sharing, it does help a lot, but I noticed some noise floor being added when i bounced it

Hi Joe, Thanks for the video. I watched both de-esser and declicker ones. Does your DBX286s work as well or better than the Audacity de-esser, noise reduction plug ins.

Manually removing clicks in an audiobook is a huge time sink (I find it's ~4x whatever the length is) This plugin is very good, although as you mention, I do find it tends to squash some T's and K's (making "what" become "wot"). I've played around with all the settings and can't see a reliable way to prevent it so I'm in two minds whether to use it everywhere. Either way I'm very grateful it exists, thanks for the demo video. Btw I've found "Spectogram" view is good for viewing the wavelengths being removed, clicks show up as nasty vertical lines.

thank you sir

*******FOR WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS******** I tried to install both the Desser and Declicker multiple times based on several RU-vid videos with no success. After downloading both plug-ins multiple times and some incredibly frustrating experimentation, I realized that to make some Windows Operating Systems work with Audactiy so that the plug-ins can be used, you have to go through a few extra steps. Hope this helps anyone who is struggling like I was! Once you've downloaded the plug-ins. Step 1: Go to the "Tools" tab in Audacity and click "Nyquist Plug-in Installer" Step 2: Click "Browse" near "Select file(s) to install" (you may also need to allow overriding in that pop-up as well) Step 3: Locate the files on your computer and click "Open". Another pop-up may appear indicating you need to give administrator permissions to alter the software/install the plug-in. Grant permission Step 4: Finally, you will see the Declicker and Desser when you go to "Add/Remove Plug-ins" and you can enable them

Hi Joe and thanks for the videos. In reference to the declicker and deesser, when should you apply those in the editing process? Right at first, or should you apply a filter curve first for example?

Thank you for the video. You really explain stuff really. I am new to audio editing and would like to ask you a question. I used your configuration for the de clicker (I don't understand what db and hz mean tho) but the click got muted, not deleted. What sort of changes can I make in the configuration to completely remove the click instead of just muting it (like, maybe increasing the db or hz or something)? Thank you.

Hi Joe, just starting out as voice over talent, but having issues pin pointing exactly where the clicks and pops are. Will definitely try this DeClicker.

actual lifesaver holy fuck thank you

When I used this, I could not get it to work. I used two channels. It was VO and both L and R tracks were identical. I copied your settings I saw in this video. 04:54 In my one hour long projects, the plug in would stop at the halfway point and shut down, or lock up causing me to shut down the project and start over. I reloaded the plug in but same results. After much effort and experimentation I found that if I changed my "Number of passes" to 1, and only de-clicked ten minutes at a time, then proceed to the next ten minutes till project completion, that it did a great job of cleaning up my clicks. Just passing along results in the event others run into this.

Hey Joe: would you mind me using a tiny clip of this video, where you thank Paul L "wherever you may be"? I'd like to use it on my channel.

Hi thanks for the video, I tried to use the de clicker on Audacity but it’s taking off some of my letters ! How do we adjust it so it doesn’t alter the vocals?

Can i use the declicker in Studio One 5 for my vocals in my songs? hope it doesnt change the audio quality n sound. 🙏🙏

Hi. i have a question about the declicker function, so i just used it on audio that was 4 minutes, but i have another 2 audio files of myself speaking, one 11 minutes and another 14 minutes, do i have to half them so their time length is less, for the declicker?? Or will the declicker edit out longer audios no proble.??

Thanks for the great tutorial. QUESTION: Do we want to keep the frequency range small? How do I go about knowing which range I should go for? I seem to have noticed that it removed a tad too much AND am trying to reduce the trial-and-error by identifying the proper frequency range, but do not know how to go about doing so.

Is there a trick to processing larger audio recordings (> 15 minutes) with Paul L's plugin? After about 10-15 minutes, it seems to fizzle out and run out of memory or buffer. Is there maybe a script that will batch 5 minute segments in a chain?

This has changed the game for me. Question, I curently have a 5 step post voiceover process Noise reduction Compress Limiter Filter Bass and Treble and finally Normalize Always in that order, where would you suggest slotting in De-clicking?

My audio in audacity frequently goes in and out (i’m not able to hear the recording) and I have to start it over to play the full recording can you help me

Hello, I wonder : what are the maximum parameters for this plug in ? How can I remove MAX of mouth noises ? Can someone please tell me ?
