Subject:glitches,pops & clicks Posted by: Jbaad Date:7/27/2000 10:04:00 AM I'm using SF 4.0 and it seems that on most recordings I wind up with pops and clicks that were not on the source tape. I use a Gina soundcard and have done all the tweaks that are recommended in the help files and from this forum but it hasn't helped. I have been using the glitch finder and then using the pencil to remove the glitches manually but that can be a slow and time-consuming process. I see that they, SF, have a plug-in (Noise Reduction DirectX plug-in 2.0) that can be purchased but it seems ridiculous to have to buy a plug-in to fix the glitches that sound forge is introducing in the first place. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does this plug-in work with 4.0? Are there any other cheaper alternatives? I sure like to eliminate the glitches during the recording process. Here's what I'm running HP 500 m Pentium 27 gig HD 128 m Ram All programs except explorer, systray & Gina board are shutdown. Windows 98

I have mastered quite many cd's with Forge, with the material coming from various sources including compact cassettes, dat, dcc and minidisc. I have an ordinary system with 450 MHz, 64 MB, and a cheap SoundBlaster Live Value sound card, the OS is NT 4.0. I have never experienced any artificial sounds entering the material during the process. BTW, check your cables!
