I have really good LP cleaning equipment. Getting the old audio system running very well is not an issue here. I've kept that gear running since I first put it into service. > Don't edit the recording, e.g. don't add compression, if needed > do this for your classical car collection only, not to archive > LPs. That would almost work for me. I tried many click, crackle and noise correction methods. I couldn't get any of that in Gnome Wave Cleaner (GWC) to produce a result where I could tolerate the fidelity reduction to the music. But, the unwanted audio did decrease substantially, even at low modification settings. After a night long of fiddling, I opted to train the noise reduction in Audacity at the LP lead-out and use that to reduce crackle in the inter-song track regions. I used Audacity's declick feature, but only on actual clicks, not on the whole audio file. I'm quite please with the results of my first LP ripping. Thanks for the advice and links folks! -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
