Subject:pops crakle, hiss, humm Posted by: Dr. YSG Date:12/11/2005 5:23:14 PM I have SoundForge Studio 8a. I am digitizing some old LPs and cassettes, and saving them to MP3. (pretty normal and standard work). One of the reasons I bought SoundForge Studio was to remove pops, crackle, hiss, humm, etc. I don't see any reall help files for doing this. (yes, 60Hz hum can be removed with a simple keyhole filter). But what about all the rest? There are stand-alone products (sound soap 2) that do this. But what about plug-ins in Studio? BTW, does the preset manager work in Studio? I downloaded some filters in preset format from the web, but the manager says seems to always list them as uninstalled, and I can't "choose my product".
