Equipment:
Vpi HW-17F Record Cleaning Machine
Heybrook TT2 with Origin Live! power supply and DC motor
Rega RB 300 tonearm (Origin Live! mod)
Lyra Helikon M/C Cartridge
Denon PMA 8500 (M/C phono section)
ESI Systems Juli@ A/D
Adobe Audition 1.5 / 3.0

Method:
- Record cleaned on Vpi machine.
- Audio sampled at 96/32 float.
- Filter to roll-off frequencies below 20 HZ (only below audible frequencies).
Audio restoration:
- 'Younglove' decrackling scripted method throughout (catches very low level crackle only).
- Manual declick and deglitch - my method is to scan through the audio with ears and eyes, looking and listening for anomalies and then only declick or mask a glitch when I know it's the right thing to do.
- Denoising treatments are sometimes used near fades; centreing the bass info (which lessens the efect of groove 'roar'); or, similarly, centreing sampled noise patterns, gradually fading in NR if it's bad... but always I will do as little NR as possible! I aim to preserve the musical experience whilst trying to clean the audio of irritations. I don't always get it exactly right though!
- All whole sides normalized to 100% NEVER using compression or limiting.
