Every time I give Apple the benefit of the doubt they never fail to disappoint. Said the recent Windows convert. I believe that's a Mountain Lion system setting. There's a way to work around the security settings, and any second I'll find it...... ...Here it is. Apple (upper left) > System Preferen...

I would suggest you're never going to get to a Sound Stage quality performance, and we don't do forensics. We can't pull a performance out of trash. As in the instructions, the tools works in two steps. Define the noise by itself and then apply the tool based on that definition. The way the latest v...

Maybe check [X] Allow Clipping. Effect > Amplify works as long as no part of the show blue waves go over 1 -- all the way up or down. If you zoom out all the way, was there a click, a pop, or other sudden noise that produced a high wave? If you carefully select and delete that really tall wav Amplif...

File format conversion can add noise, but usually so low that only dogs can hear it. It doesn't take over the music.

Does the hiss stop if you start playing the same music over again? Does it always happen in the same place in the song?
