Soundsoap Vs. Cd Spin Doctor

[omaxwell]

I am currently a happy user of CD Spin Doctor 4.02.333t (bundled with Toast 8) and would not be interested in upgrading except for one thing: I've transferred some precious old blues vinyls that still have a very loud pop, from visible scratches in the record, that I can't edit out with the filters. It's frustrating because I can see a line for each pop on the spectrogram... want to get in there and just scrub it out manually.

 

Does either product bundled with Toast 10 and Toast 10 Pro do this? From discussion boards it seems like CD Spin Doctor works the way it always has but maybe crashes more often. While the SoundSoap marketing description sounds like it allows manual editing but does not get as specific as "it will allow you to get right in and edit out an individual pop or click".

 

Can anybody advise me on whether either product, or both, will solve my problem? Thanks.

Soundsoap is better for filtering noise than is Spin Doctor. Click the topic I posted at the top of this forum and you'll see a link to a tutorial on using Soundsoap. Soundsoap is bundled with Toast 10 Pro or can be purchased separately from its developer bias-inc.com. There is more info about Soundsoap at their site.

 

Another approach is to use the click elimination feature in an audio editing application such as Bias Peak or Freeverse Sound Studio. These replace the audio where there is a click or pop and replaces it by interpolating what might be there based on the audio immediately before and after the click or pop.

Thanks! I went through the tutorial and it is indeed stated that Soundsoap will clean up individual incidences of audio problems which is what I am looking for... so looks like I will spring the extra buck for Toast 10 Pro!
