I use Audacity to record the sound and save it to a WAV file. I make a copy, and work on the copy. I use Audacity to break up the huge WAV file into its various tracks and work on the tracks individually. That's easier on the CPU and if you screw up its not such a problem. There's a useful denoise filter on Audacity I sometimes use, but most of the real work is done with the Gnome Wave Cleaner. It's free. http://gwc.sourceforge.net The GWC has just about everything I need; noise filters, declickers, etc. After a track is clean enough, I use Audacity to amplify it to its maximum below the clipping barrier. If you're picky like I am, its a long and distressing job. Some records just can not be cleaned. I only clean records that there are no CDs for. Otherwise, its not worth the time and aggrivation. Good Luck! _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
