It would still be a lot work, but are you familiar with the command to jump ahead exactly ONE rotation. It will make finding those clicks  very easy after the first click is identified.

Keystroke ")"
Move forwards by one disc rotation period.

Keystroke ")"
Move backwards by one disc rotation period. Use this when manually repairing scratches that run across the disc. You can change the rotation period for the current album in the Edit Album Details dialog.

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

Last post by wallewek - March 11, 2026, 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.

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.
