Well, yesterday I was doing some mixing for a singer, and the little pops that seemed harmless, when added compressor and reverb seemed like explosions. She was not here, I couldn't re-record it and it needed to be ready by 10pm last night. I have already spent more than an hour to try and play the pops with limiters/compressors, but they made it worst. I spend a lot of time searching for any possible plugins - I discovered that I could buy Cool Edit Pro for 2000$ and then buy the Pop-Remover plugin for it for further 1700$.... This is when I thought about this list.<br>
<br>So yes, I didn't get the joke. <br>It's my fault, though, as I shouldn't post questions and excpect 'proper' answer while actively working on a project - it adds to the stress, rather then takes it away. <br>
So yes, I couldn't believe my eyes - I am stressed out, and suddenly half the comunitty is mocking? <br>Well, this was an unusual discovery of Linux's sense of humor ;-]<br><br>I ended up working the volume automation, sample by sample, which reduced the pop-amounts to a bearable level. <br>
<br>Thanks for all your replies, serious and humorous.<br><br>Viktor<br><br>
