any restoration software in can remove. the "Younglove Trick"
could not remove it either. I even tried inverting the
waveform to make it spike upwards and it still could not repair it.
This one was removed manually. The downwards spike
and immediately before and after constitute the offending pop. It is
.002 sec, (2 thousandths of a second)
Here is an audio example of the original : Before
In the above picture, the area between the white bars was
manually cut from the wave form. There
was more cut after the offending spike than before because the
pop trails off a little. The area
being cut is .007 sec. ( 7 thousandths of a second)
The area between the white verticle bars in the picture before this one
has been cut
and the pointer in this picture is pointing to the exact
spot where the were joined

EXAMPLE 2: CLASSIC CLICK
This is a
standard, run of the mill click. It's about .002 sec in time duration.
It's one the Cedar DCX Declicker
missed. Even though it
missed this
one, the Cedar DCX
Declicker changed the genetic make up of the click to
the extent where no other software programs could repair it
automatically. It was removed manually, along with the
Cedar DCX Declicker.
EXAMPLE 3: SWITCH NOISE
This here is
something we find while manually removing artifacts etc... This is a
switching noise of some sort. It could be from either a switch for the
Guitar pick-up, guitar amplifier, an object hitting the electric
guitars pick-up or an inherent flaw in the LP itself, due to the
widespread use of recycled vinyl that common LP's were pressed on
during the 70's & 80's. The area
where the arrow is pointing is about .004 sec in duration. .010
sec (ten thousandths) had
to be cut to eliminate this noise. That is the upper time limits
of manual removal. Anything cut longer in time duration will probably
noticeably alter the music. In that case, only the area where the
arrow is will be cut. This will cut down the offending noise alot
but not alter the music.

EXAMPLE 5: THE BIG DIPPER
This one is from
a still sealed 80's album that I opened for a customer. It's for sure a
flaw due to low grade vinyl used by a small record company here in
Chicago. The LP was probably Lathe cut. It's huge for a small flaw and
there were several on the
LP.
