from the Cool Edit program already mentioned, you could try SoundForge with the
Noise Reduction/Click Removal plugin or Steinberg Clean.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=980564415-13042002>The
result will be based on how much sample time you have with only the noise/hiss
for th eplugin to take as a reference. It will then strive to remove this
reference signal from the whole of your record, without significantly changing
the original noiseless sound of the record (then can be artifacts, but if you
try out several parameters, you will find a setting to suit your needs). You
might have to settle for a good compromise.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

CHoaglin@aol.com</FONT><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Can anybody
recommend a good program for removing the pops and clicks from vinyl
recordings while converting them to CD? I'm trying to make CD copies of much
of my vinyl collection. <BR><BR>Also, does the success of these programs
depend on the type of source material? I'm going to be working with stuff like
Thrill Kill Kult, KMFDM, Pig, Minor Threat. Will I have more trouble
converting less melodic/more noisy material like these with good quality than,
say, my copy of switched-on-bach? <BR><BR>-Chris</FONT>
