Whenever you renovate an archive soundfile using DART XP Pro, a special compressed binary detection file is created (with the same name as the renovation soundfile and extension <det>), containing information about decisions made by the outlier detector - a device used to isolate and remove impulsive disturbances due to clicks, pops and record scratches.
Detection files appear on the screen upon completion of the process of sound renovation or can be loaded (provided that they already exist) using the Open command accessible from the File menu.
For a mono soundfile, the information shown in the detection window consists of two binary signals (i.e. signals taking only two values - zero and one) which can be viewed synchronously with the restored sound waveform. The upper part of the detection window (labeled 1), is used to display detection alarms - all set bits mark samples called into question by the outlier detection routine and scheduled for reconstruction.
The lower part of the detection window (labeled 2), is reserved for large scale interventions, namely to mark large chunks of the material that ought to be replaced.
For stereo soundfiles, four binary signals are displayed - the first two (labeled 1 and 2) referring to the left channel and the remaining two (labeled 3 and 4) are associated with the right channel.
The boxes situated on the left side of the window are used to select bits for the purpose of editing (which is one the way of correcting DART XP Pro mistakes).
The green boxes placed on the right side of the detection window display the values of signal bits at the current cursor position (if the box is lit, the corresponding bit equals one).
Please read the sections on editing signals in binary windows and on perfecting the renovated sound signals, in order to get more information about the means and purposes of bit editing.
