| 1376375 | 2014-06-04 04:15:00 | I used cool edit a bit as well, but as Nero came free with optical drives back then and had a very good wav editor I mostly just used that. I believe it was a licensed basic version of cool edit in essence anyway - they were certainly near identical to use. This was all many years back and would have been XP with nero 5 or 6 most likely. For tapes you just sample a section of silent lead-in and used it as a noise profile to delete the tape hiss from the recording - result is near perfect and the difference is amazing. For vinyl you can do the same but the noise is far less consistent and I never liked the results. I know someone who will spend hours manually zooming in on the waveform to cut out pops but I just leave them in :) He tells me if you zoom in far enough and cut out a tiny portion of the waveform it's usually unnoticeable. |

I recall the nose profiles, like a template and then apply it to other tape lead -ins to quickly remove similar noise. Could create a few noise removal template files. Also spent hours zeroing in - known as setting and applying zero crossing points (my.safaribooksonline.com) as a reference base to start edits from. It works well, but can take 2 to 4 hours to kind of remove/edit pops/clicks/ and then sometimes running frequency plots, then readjusting volume gains, reverbs etc. Eventually we purchased remastered albums online, rather than hours editing. |

| 1376377 | 2014-06-04 23:42:00 | There are risks to copying audio recordings: I was going to tape some records onto a cassette, but I got the wires backwards and erased all of the records. When I returned them to my friend, he said, "Hey, these records are all blank." - - Steven Wright |

| 1376378 | 2014-06-05 03:19:00 | Well their are inherent and perhaps overlooked risks to copying audio (mp3.about.com), and how to legally use that music, i.e. in public, private or commercial event. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

It wasn't all bad though, he didn't have to pay his attorney's bill. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
