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 it to mono during track changes, etc.
Normalize whole sides to 100% (After deciding if the sides are cut the same), Split tracks, FLAC, MD5, M3U, Discogs Tagging (where available), DR, RAR, +Redbook (16-bit dithered in Audition), FTP

Info:
When you catch a DMM pressing before anything heavy has tracked it, it can sound quite nice. Not sure it isn’t a little bright still…? Pretty damn clean in the quiet parts. Mostly.
