Wow! How long does that lot take you? The only bit of the process I don't do with Spin-it-again is converting the WAV files to Flac, which I do with dBpoweramp. Personally, I prefer not to muck about with levels or "repairing" the recording. After 40 years of listening to vinyl replay I think I am mentally pre-programmed to ignore the odd click and pop! Also if you have a -really- good turntable like mine, then the much greater dynamic range available than you get from a cheap turntable masks most surface noise anyway. It really isn't a problem in practice and you are in danger of losing a lot of the music if you are too heavy handed with the "cleaning" software. I don't see the point of adjusting levels -after- you have done the recording. Isn't that what the amplifier's volume control is for? I can see the point if mixing tracks from different albums, but on the same album the difference in the levels is a deliberate part of the music. I don't mean to be critical, obviously this all suits you fine, I just think that most people would prefer to keep the process as simple and quick as possible. -- TheLastMan Matt SB Duet, Synology Diskstation 107+ with FW 2.0-0600 SqueezeCenter 7.3.1 on Synology Package Manager Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers.
