Hello,I have been transferring vinyl LPs to CDs for some time, and use Wave Repair to reduce the clicks and pops. However, I think it is not the most effective solution for very noisy recordings.
I have heard of Cedar Noise Reduction, but wonder if there is an alternative that runs on PCs, gives professional results without breaking the bank? Personally, I don't mind paying $2K for good results.
Has anyone tried Wave Restoration Suite?
thanks

There are a lot of these. (I have only used Spark XL on Mac and I'm happy with it.) If there is a demo version, you should try them all first. Here are the ones I would evaluate for the PC, money no object, when I set up a PC DAW:Real pro stuff:
http://www.cedar-audio.com/ ($$$$, so probably not an option)
http://www.sonicstudio.com/nn/($$$$, so probably not an option)
http://www.weiss.ch/dna1/dna1.html($$$$, so probably not an option)
http://www.samplitude.com/de/v8_algor_ov.htm#renovator($$$$, so probably not an option, but if you have Sequoia it may be)More affordable stuff:

This list is based on reading about noise reduction and narrowing down the list for the ones most likely to succeed for this tricky job. I also read that Audition/Cool Edit Pro was more effective than the Waves Restoration Suite, so high dollars does not always get you better sound. Like I said, try them out first if you can.
I hope you can get the results you want!

There are lots of new audio restoration tools coming out. Sony's PC software division has some new ones. Can't remember name at the moment. Diamond Cut Productions, Diamond Disc or something like that is another. This is an outfit out of New Jersey that grew out of a project to rescue and restore the sound recordings at the Edison Archives in East Orange, New Jersey. Diamond Disc was the name for the unreleased lateral cut Edison records Edison's son produced prior to the stock market crash of 1929. After the crash they never got released. The software tools written to process these treasures is available for purchase. I think we are talking about hundreds not thousands of $. You might do a web search via MIX magazine and look for sound restoration tools. The CEDAR tools are great but horribly expensive. The current issue of MIX has an review article on some sound restoration software. A full CEDAR rig is something like 15K$ per module !! way out of my price range. Do some research on the web.
May good fortune find you in your search.
