Rebuild clipped peaks, level inconsistent loudness, and optionally add brightness back to dull transcodes. Crate Cleaner freezes the result to lossless AIFF and carries every Serato cue, loop, beatgrid and rating across untouched.
What it fixes
Repair works on the damage that is actually recoverable. It does not pretend to invent detail that was never captured; it fixes what is fixable and freezes the result so the file never degrades again.
Clipped peaks are reconstructed with cubic-spline interpolation, restoring transients a limiter flattened.
BS.1770 K-weighted normalization to a hot but safe -9 LUFS with a true-peak limiter, so tracks sit at a consistent level.
A harmonic exciter can synthesize overtones above a dull transcode's cutoff, in a gentle or hot amount.
The repaired audio is written to AIFF, so no further generation is lost and the file is Serato-native.
Your markers, intact
Repair writes a new file next to the original, never over it. The full Serato tag set travels with the copy: cue points, loops, beatgrids, POPM ratings and key. Enhanced copies show up right in your library, ready to swap in when you are happy with them.
Honest limits
Repair cannot restore frequencies a lossy encoder already deleted: a fake 320 stays a 128 source spectrally. What it does is fix clipping, loudness and dullness, then freeze the result losslessly so the file never loses another generation. Pair it with Audio Quality to decide what is worth repairing versus replacing.
How it works
Repair runs as a batch you control, on the tracks you choose or on everything with a given verdict.
