Vst Audio Restoration For Beginners, VST Plug-ins for Audio Restoration Options

[kenmozo]

What are good freeware or shareware VST plug-ins for tape & vinyl audio restoration? Specifically for hiss, ticks and pops. I know of SoundSoap and WAVE Restoration, but what about less costly plug-ins for Audacity X 1.2.3

I have Audacity installed on my mac and I'm having problems trying to get a decrackle VST plug-in installed. I've been using it for transfering loops into Recycle, but now I need to transfer my vinyl for use in Finalscratch. There is a noise removal proccess, within the program itself. I'll let you know how I get on.

I use a $25 shareware "ClickRepair". Although it's not a VST plug in.

I'm not able to follow the Click Repair link. I've done a google search and found other links, but still no joy!

But following on with the Audacity debate. The 'noise removal' effect in the effects menu does a good job of removing most noises. With an added bonus of being able to produce mp3 ringtones, bluetoothed straight to your phone. Well on 17" powerbook anyway and with a LAMELib mp3 encoder downloaded from Audacity website. I am having problems getting the VST enabler to work, which is supposed to allow plugins to be seen with program. However, that could be a problem with the Drecrackle plug in I tried using. Other than that, it's a simple, useful program.

Just been surfing about on mm and tried loading a freeware phaser vst plug in and it would seem that i was copy the vst files to the wrong plug ins folder. To the library/audio/plugins/vst, instead of plugins folder in Audacity. Silly me! And what do you know, there they are.
