I am finally getting the hint from the music industry that some of my music is never going to see digital light. This leaves me with the monumental task of recording and cleaning my old LPs. Ugh...

I've read the threads here and elsewhere on getting the analogue goodness into the PC. I think I have that covered. My worry has to do with cleaning the inevitable pops, clicks, and static that comes with the territory. Any tips from the Empeg community?

I've done some tests... I've had some success with sampling the noise from a silent portion and using Cool Edit to remove the most of it. I also made a bad purchase of EZCD Creator Pro. Specifically for the "Spin Doctor" which leaves much to be desired. This "Pro" software features cute anthropomorphic music notes dancing and three settings. Whoop-de-doo...

My main question is what kinds of editing can I do to the .WAV files to remove the pops by hand with the least amount of damage? What do these pop removal programs/plug ins do to the wave form? Find the start and end then average? Fill it with pink noise? wha?

Thanks for any help... You would think the RIAA would jump at the chance to charge me again for some of this stuff.
