Audio Tweaking

[Cage72]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good program that is uncomplicated and user friendly for tweaking audio Files? A while back I extracted the audio portion from a VHS tape into a .mp3 file ..i'm wanting to know how i might go about cleaning the file..to where it's more clear and close to a clean " Live recording" as possible. Thanks in Advance.

Cool Edit Pro* has some audio tweaking tools like Click and Pop remover, etc..

Do a search in Kazaa with a word vst (sofware) and you will get a lot of apps poppin'.

Go for Steinberg Wavelab v.4:
"WaveLab 4.0 is the quickest professional audio editing and mastering software for Windows PCs.

or

Steinberg Clean v.4, or Clean Plus v.4:
"Be it LP, cassette, CD or MP3: Clean gets rid of hiss and crackle. Its high-quality effects and advanced music processing features give you perfect sounding music.

Wavelab supports vst plugins (a.k.a. effects) also, try Magneto 1.5 and make youd hd/gagrage recordins or mp3's sound wayy much better. It's a kinda comprerssor, doing the same thing as if you are using tape, adds warmth on it.

There is more good tools out there, these are the ones i recommend at the moment.

For the best effects, get the WaVes v.3.5, its the best pack of effects i've seen yet!

Hope this helps!
