Technical Support / Scratches / clicks every 2 sec...

Last post by wallewek - Today at 05:37:33 PM

I have an old LP that is in bad shape.  It is getting clicks every 2 seconds over the whole side, obviously a long scratch.  That is far to many to fix manually.  I tried turning off both PP and BB, but no matter how I set the sensitivity it seems to ignore those loud clicks. 

What can I do about this?

OK, thanks.  As a cross-check, has anyone tried this unit with Audacity?

Sorry, just seen this.  Can you post a screenshot of the error message please?  The fact that your collection is on a NAS might be relevant.  Thanks.

just a note that this has happened to someone else, see these posts from 2019. Must be something with the USB chips in the Music Hall pa2.2.

Technical Support / Re: Cleanup Up audio

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - February 15, 2026, 05:46:24 PM

Hi,

Just tried it here and I can't reproduce the fault.  If you click in the right channel and press R, what happens?

Hi, When inserting a manual repair it only does it on the left channel. When i click on the right to insert it reverts back to the left again. I've been using this for a year now with no problems but today it has started doing this. can anybody help?

Another 'light-bulb' moment! Thank you so much for turning it on.

I have been using Audacity, on and off, for decades - but in that time I never made the effort to understand what normalisation does, and so never used it. Instead I wasted my time re-recording at a different level.

Just goes to show the difference between 'n' years of experience and n times 1 year of experience.

I did do quite a lot of LPs in audacity before I realised.

Do you put DSD in the same category?

I'm afraid I can't comment - having never used DSD and probably never will. The additional information captured in such recordings is not detectable at my age (60+ years past peak hearing acuity) and on my 'scrooge-grade' consumer audio equipment.

That's what normalization does - after recording
