DEVINYL - Recover vinyls beyond recovering

DEVINYL is a tool with a very simple purpose in mind: Restore vinyls. The older and more damaged they are, the better the work it does.

How does it work?

Contrary to v1, DeVinyl v2 is as simple as it can get. Most vinyl records have at least a ~2 second audio gap before actually starting each song, specially old 78rpm records. So taking a sample from seconds 1 to 2 you can be pretty sure you're getting a pure noise sample (I'll make this adjustable in a future release for your custom tracks). From there, by using the awesome open source (SoX)[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/] library, we can create a noise profile from the source track and with said profile, just remove the majority of the noise of the song, including heavy hissing and clicking and without creating noticeable artifacts.

Requirements

Any modern OS
SoX binaries (available as packages on Linux via Apt / dnf / pacman, must download from website in Windows / macOS: (https://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/)[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/])
ffmpeg binaries (same as above, though available in windows through chocolatey / Winget and macOS through brew)
(Windows only) check that SoX and ffmpeg are accessible through terminal, otherwise add their respective location to your user's PATH environment variable.

Usage

Linux/macOS

./devinyl.sh source_file

Windows (Powershell)

./devinyl.ps1 source_file

The clean track will be generated as <source_track>_clean.flac

devinyl's Issues

utils pydub_to_np not exisiting anymore

Hi , there seems a problem with the pydub_to_np: from utils import pydub_to_np
could you suggest a workaround?

(devinyl) (myenv) xxx-Air:~ xxx$ python Python/devinyl.py -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Python/devinyl.py", line 21, in

ImportError: cannot import name 'pydub_to_np' from 'utils' (/Users/xxx/myenv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/utils/init.py)

[SUGGESTION] Collaboration with PYRS

Hi there, this project SOUNDS really interesting !

We would like to suggest you keep an eye on @HENDRIX-ZT2 's Python Audio Restoration Suite, from which you could easily "grab" various already-implemented features and - in turn - contribute to its improvement.

Secondly, check out our curated open source audio/video projects links collection that may also help you find useful (re)sources: HyMPS - HYbrid Multimedia Production Suite / Audio Tools section).

Hope that inspires !
