Spark Music Editor, Editing Pops Options

[horvath]

I'm new to the forum ... just downloaded SPARK Music Editor and was wondering if anyone here is familiar with it.

I want to edit things like microphone pops. I remember watching someone do that by grabbing a spike in the wave form where the pop occurs and then by clicking and draging the spike down, it's volume would disappear in the playback.

Does anyone know how to perform such a task in SPARK? Or are there any tutorials or books you know of that explains all the features in SPARK? There's no help file with the program and I'm at a loss about how to learn to use it.

THANKS!

I don't know Spark, but I'm sure it's got an amplitude or volume option under its processing menu. The way I do this in Sound Studio (which is probably pretty darn similar) is to stretch the wave out nice and long for millisecond accuracy, then highlight the offending section and experiment with various level settings. Audition each one and undo if not satisfactory until you find a setting that sounds good. Lather, rinse, repeat.
