Gnome Wave Cleaner (GWC) is a digital audio editor application. The graphical user interface for the editor has been produced using the GTK+ widget toolkit. Its primary author is Jeff Welty.

Features

GWC's primary purpose is to clean up poor quality recordings, such as those captured from old 78rpm 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 cds from the cleaned audio file. As it uses libsndfile for audio i/o, it can read and write most audio file and data formats.
