X-Crackle

X-Crackle is a restoration plugin from Waves that removes clicks, pops, and surface noise from digitized vinyl and other imperfect recordings. Using psychoacoustic noise-reduction algorithms, it targets crackle while leaving the underlying audio intact. You can set the attenuation from slight to strong and adjust the threshold to match different crackle levels, with a dual-window scope showing the original waveform and a sonogram that highlights the crackles being reduced. An attenuation meter displays how much crackle is being removed. This makes it a practical tool for hobby producers working with sampled vinyl, old records, or archival transfers who want cleaner audio without dulling the music. It suits anyone restoring or sampling vintage material in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic.
