nothing new here. i have had the waves restoration bundle for years, all the same tools in there. i have to say, the best program i have found for improving the sound of vinyl rips that is the simplest to use is the click and pop removal tool found in audacity. audacity is a free program available at sourceforge.net in the desktop audio section. free, and it also can be used as a simple multitracking program.

Now all that stuff is WHY I love to listen to vinyl.
Nothing sounds quite as good as old school Misfits or The Cult or even some Nirvana on record!

I've been using Audactiy for awhile now, and I have to say I am not impressed with the click and pop removal tool. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but even when I set it the most sen sensitive settings for click detection, it removes almost none of them. I might have to try this other program out.

Doomsayer2001 : That's cool, I just can't handle the scratch, & pops that you get on a record sometime. I got a record by a solo bassist named Stuart Hamm, and on his version of Moonlight Sonata, you can here the scratch, & pops louder than the tune.
Groon : I use CD creator, it works pretty good. This one seems pretty nice, but your right, it is pretty pricey. It does a lot, but you really pay for all those features.

I don't have the patience to do this kind of audio conversion work, but I appreciate how they have just named all the modules "de-" whatever. "de-clipper," "de-noiser," etc. Priceless.

mktackabery : I don't do much of it either, I have to connect my turntable to my computer to do it. I'm to lazy to set it up all the time lol!
