my preamp doesn't include any EQ functions at all. You're transferring your vinyl with a standard amplifier, not a phono preamplifier? You need to know that phono preamps don't just provide that funny boost to the sound, they also match the electrical characteristic of the cartridge. Cartridges nee...

It's almost certain you have one or more sound clips with "DC Offset." Any time you edit between different clips, it's going to pop or click. It really sends new users for a loop because if you edit between two clips from the same job, it mysteriously doesn't do it. http://kozco.com/tech/a...
