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.
Cool Edit Pro is an awesome piece of software. I used to use it years
ago when it first came out. I even kept a Win98 machine handy just to
run it until recently. However, I don't think their click/pop remover
is any better than what you'll be able to achieve with Audacity, a keen
ear, a quick finger on the pause button, and some clever editing. Good
luck!
