Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead Drummer) is digitally restoring
old analog recordings (Wood Guthrie, Leadbelly, etc) for the
Smithsonian Folkways label (they then sell the cd version).
This was shown on TV (show called "Inventions" or something like that).
The interesting thing is that they showed a MACintosh (or windows PC??)
program that let them edit the music digitally. That is, find a pop, or
click and then the software can be directed to edit it out.
My question is : Who can tell me the name of that software package?
What hardware is used to interface to the computer?
What was (or can be) the host computer?
Thanks,

Hello, I have a sample editing system on my ibm called "SampleVision" It is strictly a sample editor and NOT a digitizer. There are many packages available to do that however. I use an Adap system on an Atari mega 2 for digitizing. I can sample direct to hard drive in stereo at 44khz rate. This product is sold by Hybrid arts in L.A. I would strongly suggest that you check out what ever local music stores or professional audio suppliers. They will be able to give you tons of info on these systems and will probably be able to demo them as well. I would stay away from software dealers as they tend to have the low end stuff.. i.e. only 8bit samples at 11khz. good luck! Doug Dulmage

There is a company called Sonic Solutions that has a Mac-based system called
No Noise that lets you remove hiss and pops from old recordings as well as edit
them. I think their hardware consists of a box full of 56001s. Its pretty
pricey, but the results are pretty impressive. Originally, you had to send a
tape to them which they would clean up. I think now they are making the system
available for purchase.
