Eliminating cracking and hissing from old LP's

[roarty]

Love your product! I have several old 78's that I would like to burn to CD and was hoping you could help me reduce or eliminate the crackling, hissing and background noise from the album. I am using version 6.0.1.4302 (Plus). Are there settings that I should be considering that would help reduce the noise?

I have little problem with "standard" vinyl in good condition ("33" albums) -- get a little cracking on occasion.

Any help or insights would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I think that if lps are kept in a good condition they play real good.

whatever i suggest you first record the song on the hdd.As you have a plus package you can use the eqi.. and set the setting og gain etc.Then you can burn these songs on the cd

Hi roarty

Since were talking recordings that will possubly be at least 50-60 years old I think that even if you kept them in as good a condition as you could, they would still be a bit crackly by now I think djtriz
Even when new 78's had a certain amount of crackle on them to start with.

You could try using a Wave Editor to remove the Hiss & Crackles from your files.
Take a look at Audacity
Its free software and should be able to clean up some of the noise on your 78's.
Save your 78's as mp3's on your hard drive then do the cleaning work.
Youll not get all the noise off the recordings but you should get a fair bit of it toned down.

Good Luck and let us know how you get on.

There is also Adobe Audition (used to be Cool Edit Pro) but thats a Pay4.
