It was just a harmless little joke about a problem discussed amongst recording-people ever since a microphone was build that was capable of recording pop-noise. And in the end I am with Erics side: the best way to cope with pops is to avoid them in the first place. But of course: everyone had a vocal track in his/her life, that could not be rerecorded and was both great and full of peaks made by pop noise. Trouble is: it is quite easy to design a plug-in, that can eliminate such evil but only as long as the quality of the remains is not essential. To both eliminate the pops effectively and preserve the natural beauty of the singers performance is complicated and I came to believe, that this cannot be done by software acting automatically by formal mathematical rules. I use to repair such tracks using the fader-automation step by step syllable by syllable - once upon the time it took me about 2h to make a track of a femal country-singer with little experience with studio-microphones mixable - in an Allison Krauss Coversong playing 2.5 min... But the result was painting a smile on the face of everyone involved ;-) And exploring the wav-graphs of a track in deep,fine-tuning every fraction of a second is some kind of meditation too ;-) So to answer you question: I too recommend to use a simple mechanical pop killer on the microphone and to repair already polluted tracks by hand using the fader-automation.... best regs HZN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkrnqpIACgkQ1Aecwva1SWO3OgCdE3OBWcmUf/bXcTLZ9WG3MeEh RLIAmwZHUvVMv4NKA/bAcmu3TQTkGgkx =sQZX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
