Hello Derek (and others),
I bought Wave Corrector a few years ago and started digitising some of my vinyl. But my setup wasnt brilliant.
Recently I upgraded to a M-Audio 24/96 sound card and put a decent amp and speakers on the output. The sound is really pretty good now.
Last week I had some records cleaned with a Keith Monks cleaning machine and recorded one using 24bit 96 Khz. The sound was really clear and clean. There were few large clicks but some faint crackle - which I could probably live with, as it really is faint.
But when I tried declicking, I seemed to get a "muddier" sound than the uncorrected version. I tried again but reduced the threshold to 1 - it was a bit better but still distorted.
The record was in reasonably good condition, but WaveCor seemed to turn every little bit of crackle into a click. It found hundreds of thousands of clicks.
Is there something I've missed? Should I change settings in the Advanced section, to compensate for the higher sampling rate??
I dont intend to burn CDs, but store the sound files digitally (probably in FLAC format) and play them using a streaming system (or chop them down to MP3s for travelling.)
I'g appreciate any ideas.
Cheers
Andrew
