Leo, glad to know I'm not the only one spending "quality time" with Adobe Audition when dealing with records.

If they had a problem with the laser picking up the dust in the grooves, then it sounds as though they needed to crank up the power on that laser a little. Maybe if they put it up to 11, dust wouldn't survive! [Smile]

Leo and Bill,

I use Creamware by TripleDAT for editing and noise reduction. An older piece of software, it was designed to be CD mastering software. Although it began in the Windows 3.1 era, I'm used to it and don't want to have to learn new software. I run it on Windows 98SE. More on my introduction to this software in a moment.

Mike,

I recall many years ago someone conducting an A/B test where one choice was a digital recording and the other was the same recording with a little hiss added. The "analogue forever" types thought the one with added hiss sounded warmer and had to be analogue.

That said, the guy who demoed the Creamware program to me was one of the engineers for Frank Zappa, and man, the stories he had.

An acetate for an album came back from mastering, and after auditioning it, Mr. Zappa wanted an equalization change. I don't remember the particulars, but it was plus a half or maybe as much as one db at a very specific frequency I don't remember. The engineer went back to the mastering engineer , and after a lot of eye rolling, a new acetate was cut. When it was delivered to the studio, the engineer purposely played the first acetate. Frank told him he had the wrong one on, and to put on the new one.
