+# clean_audio.sh — automatic speech cleaning (FFmpeg)
+
+This script batch‑cleans noisy speech recordings with ffmpeg using simple, reliable filters tuned for ASR (e.g., faster‑whisper). By default it REQUIRES RNNoise (arnndn) and will try to auto‑discover or download a model. You can opt‑in to fallback filters with `--allow-fallback`.
+
+## Install
+
+- Required: ffmpeg. Most distros: `sudo pacman -S ffmpeg` or `sudo apt install ffmpeg`.
+- Recommended: ffmpeg with `arnndn` filter and an RNNoise model file (e.g., from Mozilla RNNoise community models). The script will auto-detect common model locations or download one via `Bash/get_rnnoise_model.sh`. You can pass a specific model with `-m /path/to/model.nn`.
+
+Make executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x Bash/clean_audio.sh
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+- Single file, default ASR preset (16k mono, denoise, high‑pass, limiter):
+```bash
+Bash/clean_audio.sh path/to/file.wav
+```
+This produces `path/to/file_clean.wav`.
+
+- Whole folder, 4 parallel jobs, output to `cleaned/`:
+```bash
+Bash/clean_audio.sh path/to/folder -O cleaned -j 4
+```
+
+- Use an RNNoise model explicitly (if your ffmpeg has arnndn):
+```bash
+Bash/clean_audio.sh input.wav -m models/rnnoise_model.nn
+```
+If you omit `-m`, the script will look in common locations; if not found, it will attempt a download via `Bash/get_rnnoise_model.sh`.
+
+Advanced options and compatibility:
+- The cleaner requires RNNoise by default. To allow non-ML fallback filters (afftdn), add `--allow-fallback`.
+- The script uses advanced filter settings when available (e.g., afftdn with `md`). If your ffmpeg build lacks these options, it will error with guidance. Add `--no-advanced` (or `--compat`) to avoid such params.
+
+- Podcast preset (adds dynamics and loudness leveling):
+```bash
+Bash/clean_audio.sh input.wav --preset podcast
+```
+
+## Options
+
+```text
+Usage: clean_audio.sh <input-file|input-dir> [options]
+
+Options:
+  -O, --out-dir DIR         Output directory (default: alongside input file).
+  -e, --ext EXT             Output extension/container: wav|flac (default: wav).
+  -m, --model PATH          RNNoise model file for arnndn; falls back to afftdn if unavailable.
+      --no-ml               Do not use arnndn even if model is provided; use afftdn.
+      --preset NAME         asr (default) | podcast | aggressive
+  -j, --jobs N              Parallel jobs for directory mode (default: 1).
+  -f, --force               Overwrite outputs if they exist.
+  -q, --quiet               Reduce ffmpeg logging noise.
+      --lowpass FREQ        Optional low-pass cutoff (e.g., 8000). Disabled by default.
+      --suffix SUF          Suffix for output basename (default: _clean).
+```
+
+## Designed for ASR (faster‑whisper)
+
+Default output format is mono, 16 kHz, PCM 16‑bit WAV—ideal for most Whisper/faster‑whisper pipelines. You can feed the cleaned files directly into your transcription step.
+
+If you prefer FLAC to save space without quality loss:
+```bash
+Bash/clean_audio.sh input.wav -e flac -O cleaned
+```
+
+## Presets
+
+- asr (default): light, ASR‑friendly cleanup; prevents clipping.
+- podcast: adds gentle dynamics and approximate loudness normalization (single‑pass `loudnorm`).
+- aggressive: heavier gate/dynamics; can suppress background more, but may slightly hurt ASR accuracy—use sparingly.
+
+## Tips
+
+- If you see artifacts from RNNoise, try without a model (uses `afftdn`), or add a low‑pass (e.g., `--lowpass 8000`).
+- For extremely boomy bar recordings, raise high‑pass by editing `HIGHPASS` in the script or add `--lowpass`.
+- If your ffmpeg lacks `arnndn`, you can install a newer build or keep the fallback (afftdn works fine for many cases).
+        - If your ffmpeg is missing features, you can use the helper:
+```bash
+chmod +x Bash/install_ffmpeg_with_arnndn.sh
+Bash/install_ffmpeg_with_arnndn.sh
+```
+It will suggest distro options or build FFmpeg from source with `--enable-librnnoise`.
+
+    RNNoise model downloader helper:
+    ```bash
+    chmod +x Bash/get_rnnoise_model.sh
+    Bash/get_rnnoise_model.sh --yes
+    ```
+    This saves a model into `Bash/models/` which the cleaner will auto-discover.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- “arnndn not available”: Your ffmpeg wasn’t built with it. The script will use `afftdn` instead.
+- Output sounds thin: lower the high‑pass (edit `HIGHPASS=80` in script to `60`) or remove low‑pass.
+- Level too low/high: choose the `podcast` preset for auto leveling, or add your own `loudnorm` in post.

+# clean_audio.sh — Fully automatic audio cleaner for speech (ASR-friendly)
+#
+# - Default preset is tuned for ASR (faster-whisper):
+#   mono, 16 kHz, high-pass filter, denoise (RNNoise arnndn by default if model found/provided; else afftdn),
+#   peak limiting to -0.5 dBFS. No aggressive gating/compression by default.
+# - Optional "podcast" preset adds gentle dynamics and loudness leveling.
+# - Accepts single files or directories (recursively).
+# - Optional parallel processing.
+#
+# Dependencies: ffmpeg (arnndn filter recommended for best results)
+# Optional: an RNNoise model file for arnndn (auto-discovered if present; otherwise falls back to afftdn)
+#
+# Usage examples:
+#   Bash/clean_audio.sh input.wav                      # -> input_clean.wav (same folder)
+#   Bash/clean_audio.sh input.wav -O out_dir           # -> out_dir/input_clean.wav
+#   Bash/clean_audio.sh input_dir -O cleaned/ -j 4     # -> processes all audio files in dir
+#   Bash/clean_audio.sh input.wav -m models/rn.nn      # -> use RNNoise model
+#   Bash/clean_audio.sh input.wav --preset podcast     # -> add dynamics leveler

+
+Notes:
+  - Default sample rate is 16 kHz mono PCM 16-bit (good for most speech ASR models).
+  - If arnndn (RNNoise) is used, it usually outperforms afftdn for speech denoise.
+  - The 'podcast' preset adds gentle dynamics and loudness normalization (single-pass).
