Tech log: (This is an archive rip)
Equipment: VPI HW-17F Vacuum Record Cleaner, Heybrook TT2 T/T, Rega RB 300 Tonearm, Lyra Helikon M/C Cartridge, Denon PMA 850 M/C Stage, ESI Systems Juli@ A/D, Adobe audition 3.0
Method:
Clean records on Vpi, rip (PCM@96/32), remove inaudible subsonic (0Hz to 17Hz ~ 0db, with sloped filter from 17Hz to 20Hz)
Manual and carefully targeted automatic de-clicking in Adobe Audition using custom scripts and presets.
I make sure this doesn’t damage natural clicks.
Occasional use of noise masking techniques such as ‘footprint’ sampling the groove noise and fading to mono during track changes, etc.
