398266 2005-10-21 22:08:00 I have purchased a programme called CLEAN 4.0 Restoration, to record vinyl records to my PC to clean all the scratches, pops, etc., to CD quality, but I have no idea how it works. I have followed the instructions - to the letter I think - but I can't make it work. The people I bought it from, Imaging Technology in Auckland, want $75 an hour to show me how, which I can't afford, otherwise they are not interested. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

398267 2005-10-21 22:42:00 And what have you tried so far??

I take it, you have the cables etc to connect it to line in on the souncard??

If this is how youre doing it .

And you have some kind of record player? Does the record player have some kind of output on it, so it can be connected to something? Like an amp? Line in on a soundcard?

398268 2005-10-22 03:39:00 Is it a stand alone pre-preamp for your turntable? Or are you as Speedy Gonzales says ,plugging it straight into your soundcard? OS? For my stand alone unit I have to select it,Start/Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices ,under Audio/Sound recording. Neil McC (178)

Yes, I do have a record player that I can connect, through an amplifier, into the sound card . Recording the music from the turntable to the PC is simple, which is most probably why I can do that! But recording the music to my PC is not the problem - using the programme to acheive results is a problem . I was hoping there was someone who has used the progeamme CLEAN who could tell me how to use it effectively .

398270 2005-10-23 17:18:00 hello,

The programme I use for scratches etc, is depopper, and the only way I
found to learn how it worked, was to make a copy of the a song, and
then experiment with it to get the best results.

They usualy have very good help sytem on them too.

I found if songs are recorded from the same LP, usually one setting
will work with all the songs. with the odd exception of course.

cheers,

Robby

398271 2005-10-23 20:54:00 I agree with Robby.
Copy a track you can play with so the original is safe. I always work on copies anyhow, just in case!
I seem to remember with Clean 4,5 that you have to load the file in the program by starting a project,then finding the music file.Keep replaying the music then just play with all the buttons without saving what you're doing, unless that's what you want. That's the only way I got it to work.
I can reload 5 if I need to if you're really stuck.

Thankyou. I will give that a try this coming week.
