That's fine if you only have a few clicks and a few LPs - otherwise it gets to be too much hard work.

I used to do this manually as Trebor suggests until I got a steer from Koz, for which I am eternally grateful, to a package called ClickRepair - it costs US $45 but is well worth it IMO if you have a lot of vinyl to process.

Thanks, guys, for performance "over and above the call of duty"! Points about clipping and click removal received and understood, and printed out so that I can act on them when next at the job. (I've already used Effects>Click Remover to very good effect elsewhere in the recording.) By the way, yes, I'm well past 40 (by 69% - work that out!) so I will have to watch the video traces carefully so that my audience at least can get best value at high frequencies, but I will take Trebor's advice on settings -- thanks. I've got about 190 LPs and about 85 EPs and singles, so I can't see me getting them all digitised!

Nice to chat, and once again thanks very much for your responses.
