Oh, and I'm no fan of modern country, but that should go without saying.Īs a result of the above hunter/gatherer methods, I have a lot of records that never made it to digital.
Really, the only thing I'm not interested in is mainstream classic rock - I've had enough of that pumped at me over radio to last two lifetimes. My tastes are pretty broad - I started as a punk/alternative kid, but later got into soul, jazz, exotica, international, krautrock, early electronic, the more esoteric end of classical, vintage country, etc.
I don't think I've ever paid more than $15 for a record, new or used, and the vast majority of my stuff was had for $1-5 each through the salvage operation described above, yard sales, thrift stores, or used bins. As a collector, I'm definitely at the low end of the price scale. Stick with me - I'm getting to the hardware bit. I met a lot of fascinating people this way, including a guy who'd been a Walter Matthau's stunt double for much of his career, with several thousand jazz LP's collected over a lifetime in Los Angeles (unfortunately, two Japanese investors had flown in a few days before and snapped up most of the Blue Notes, but there was still a lot to be found.) Had an ad for years in the local paper under the head "Sanford & Son Vinyl Salvage," and took calls from people enthusiastic for me to rummage through their collections and cherry-pick for $1 a pop. Thank you for all opinions, remarks, warnings, recommendations, etc.I've been collecting vinyl since I was a teen in the 80's and really went ape in the 90's when everyone sold off their collections for CD's. They also have other restoration software: Would probably be useful on optical soundtracks.
#Clickrepair crackles mac#
The Mac program "ClickRepair" does a great job at clicks and crackles. My understanding is that the new version of RX has greatly improved click and crackle algorithms, but I can't personally verify that. I sometimes end up using Sound Soap for that. I have the older version at present because my work machine is still PPC (for another week or two!). If I only need global application of NR stuff with a few spot fixes here and there, I'll do it with RTAS plugs in PT. If I need to do a lot of spot work on a file, I use the stand-alone program. And its EQ is really nice for overall correction work. Also, in the stand-alone program, you can delete a spectral selection, which you can't do with the RTAS plug-in.

It can be used as a set of RTAS plug-ins, but I use it stand-alone a lot, too, because you get full shortcut customization, which means less mousing around and a great deal more speed. Thank you for all opinions, remarks, warnings, recommendations, etc.! manufacturers that come into my (maybe limited) view are for example cedar, cubetec, algorihmix, sonic.Īny recommendations and/or experience with the manufacturers mentioned and restoration of optical soundtracks (in digitized waveform) in general? do you know a plugin that integrates well into pt and allows me to quickly switch into and work extensively in spectral domain?Īlso noise reduction, click-/crackle-elimination and steep and harmonic filtering (with tracking) of tones and hum are very important. i would very much prefer to use pt9 (or hd) as host.įollowing the reputation of adobe audition being an good choice for sound-restoration in the semi-professional sector i tried the demo and must say that i find the integration of the spectral-view and the ease with which you can optically detect errors, erase clicks and thunks, dampen selected frequency areas and denoise, all in the spectrum-view unrivalled. I'm planning a high-profile restoration-suite and want to ask you guys what you think are the most useful, powerful, integrated, stable tools for restoring optical sound tracks.
