Cool! Now how do I get the rice krispies or tape hiss out of my AIFF rips?
Hey… now you’re starting to sound like a real veteran! You said “AIFF” and “rips” in the same sentence! However, it was batted around in the discussion group for a while and the favorite terms for vinyl rips and cleanups are now “lamered” or “twiddled”. There aren’t many inexpensive programs out there for MacOS to do that and I haven’t tried them all. Here’s a list of the ones I know, but you’ll have to experiment on your own: • Arboretum RayGun (also incorporated into Ionizer). • Cubase VST supports Steinberg’s “Dehiss” and “Declick” plug-ins. • Adaptec Toast 4 includes “Spin Doctor” for lamering noisy recordings. If you’re brave, I have used Virtual PC on a PowerMac 8600/300 to run Cool Edit Pro and DartPro with some success. Those seem to be the favored twiddlers on the Windows platform. While the programs worked well, they were a bit slow on my 8600’s 68040 CPU. A speedy G3 or G4 would be the only way I’d consider running VPC on a regular basis for audio editing.
