Yeah, fortunately my girlfriend helped me a bit with the price as a birthday present.

I know there are a lot of programs out there that are aimed at cleaning up analog rips (tape hisses and record pops etc). But which ones would you suggest. I currently have Cool Edit Pro and have used the hiss reducer before. It worked well and I have the program already so I might use that. But that's if I use anything. Do you think it would be better to just leave it "uncleaned"?
