I have many cassettes and LPs I'd like to record to WAV files on my
computer. I have an M-Audio Audio Interface and Audacity does a pretty
good job of recording audio. I'd like to be able to remove noise from
some of the recordings and I want to remove the pops and clicks from
the songs from LPs. I don't want this processing to ruin the "magic"
of the original recordings if possible.
I've heard of SOUNDSOAP, Magix Audio Cleaning Lab and Steinberg Clean.
Are any of these any good? Are they worth the money? Are there any
other packages that do the same thing? I'm not worried about the
cassettes as much as I am the LPs, I'd like to remove as much of the
crackling/clicks/noise as possible.
Magix ACL offers "Analog Distortion Tube Amp" and "Tapesimulation."
Would these actually improve some slightly sterile-sounding recordings
or are these just cheesy gimmicks?
Also, I have read the BBE Sonic Maximizer plug-in works with Audacity.
Can this software really improve recordings? I guess this is a loaded
question, I've never used a BBE Sonic Maximizer so I'm not sure what
they do to the sound, but a friend of mine raves about them.
Thanks for any info you can give!
