Features

GTK Wave Cleaner's primary purpose is to clean up poor quality recordings, such as those captured from old 78 rpm phonograph records. It provides tools for removing noise by spectral subtraction and for removing clicks by least squares autoregressive interpolation. It is also capable of automatically marking song boundaries, and developing TOC records for creating music Compact Discs from the cleaned audio file. It uses libsndfile to edit various audio file formats, and can export to mp3 and ogg.
