I use DC5 Forensics from Diamond Cut productions to find clicks that
automatic click removal misses. Highlight the click on the time-domain graph,
press the "I" key on the keyboard, and the software interpolates right through
it using a high-order polynomial curve fit.

Sometimes, small clicks are VERY hard to see in the time domain. For these, I
use the DC5 Forensics spectrograph display (a 3-diminsional graph of time (X)
vs. frequency (Y), with amplitude presented as intensity). Very often, the
click that is invisible in the time domain will be very apparent on the
spectrograph as a vertical rectangle. It's possible to highlight it on the
spectrograph and interpolate, again with the "I" key.

Hi folx,

I usually record vinyls to my computer with Audiophile 2496 using SoundForge.
I record 24 bits 44.1kHz. Then I normalize the sound and convert it to CD
compatible 16 bit format. Never did I apply any filtering to the WAV file to
clean from cracks and pops fearing to lose the quality of the whole sound.

And I still don't want to apply automatic filtering.

This is what I want to do. I have a very few vinyl cracks and pops. I know
these spots. I just want to remove these particular cracks and pops without
losing the quality of the whole sound. How can I do it using SoundForge or
GoldWave? I don't have Cool Edit so I am not going to use it. Thanks in
advance.
