I'm not sure if this has been covered much or at all lately. I've just figured out how to import and burn sound files from external sources - records and tapes. However, I would like to do some EQing/tonal response editing on some of these. What programs are people using, or do they like for this? I'm running Windows XP. Thanks! Dale.

I like Gold Wave for the little that I do. Used Cool Edit a few years ago & thought that was OK as well. There are free demos for each. ----------------------------- Violinist Bauer-Lechner on Mahler: "The first thing he composed on paper at the age of six was a polka, to which he added a funeral march as an introduction."

I use CoolEdit2000 on winnt (http://www.cooledit.com). The demo version had access to all the features, but only two at a time. I use Wave Repair (http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~abcomp/wavrep.htm) for declicking vinyl. -- Caleb Deupree cdeupree@erinet.com

How does that work. I've heard some denoising programs that really take a lot out of the music (especially of out of the treble). I made the mistake of doing that to a Max Roach album, the cymbals sounded god awful. I lived with the noise. Zach

The clicks in the vinyl are visible in the waveform display. The software can detect and fix the clicks, or you can redraw the waveform manually. You have the option of listening to each click and the accompanying fix before you accept the fix or not. At best the fix is undetectable, at worst the click is replaced by a brief hiss which is typically only audible through headphones if I'm listening closely. It's not really a noise reducer per se, but is specifically designed for cleaning up clicks and pops from vinyl. Of course, the worse shape the vinyl was in, the longer it takes to clean it up, and the whole process can be somewhat time consuming. It takes me about a half hour on average to declick five minutes of music, although the range can be a half hour for a two minutes of well used quiet electronics or classical to a half hour for 15 minutes of pop music in decent shape. -- Caleb Deupree cdeupree@erinet.com

Thanks! a friend of mine used a program called "exact audio copy" to clean up a whole bunch of Sun Ra albums, and they really sound great. i haven't used it myself, but he works in the software field, and my ears tell me how good the albums sound. best of all it's "cardware"; you just mail a postcard to the guy who wrote it. details here: http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ sean
