I've just recently purchased a 12" powerbook and can't find the tools to do what I want. I've used Cool Edit in Windows to record the record and then to remove the clicks. This has done a pretty good job. I have Audacity to record and have the files on the computer. I can't find anything to remove the clicks.

Any suggestions?

Peak by iteself may not be enough to clean up recorded LPs. Bias' SoundSoap should be - it's designed to clean up audio. Bias is also coming out with SoundSoap Pro early in 2004, which is what I am waiting for. RayGun Pro by Arboretum will also work well. I believe you can download demos of SoundSoap and RayGun.

When a click is just too much to bear, I often use Peak, zoom in on the click, and use "Repair Click" (Rather than "Repair Clicks...") The selection has to be less than 100 samples, and select on a zero crossings if possible.
But it's time consuming.

Manually drawing out the clicks and pops with the pencil tool in Peak does work, but takes forever. If you are seriously converting your LP collection to digital, it may very well be too much work.

My vote: RayGun Pro or SoundSoap now, or SoundSoap Pro when it comes out.
