I was recording stacks of new Joints I wanted to digitalize the last few days......and these fucking clicks and crackles are driving me INSANE.. I don't know how you ppl go about it but normally I stay away from Plugins to do this, cuz I don't want the entire track to be processed..
So,... I do what I gotta do,... I'm freaky/nerdy enough to redraw every click or disturbing sound..I normally cop mint records only but this time it must have slipped me cuz I'm doing LOADS of restoration here. Seriously, I have nothing against some ambiance crackling or a Click now and then, but when I digitalize my ish, I need to get rid of them peaks so I can match the highest peak to 0db... Just so most tracks dont come out to uneven in volume...Last few hrs I've been doing this....
What y'all think about it?-Fuck it, I eat rice crispies while spinning my VG/VG-'s and I've never noticed a thing ? 
-Waves Restoration all the way hommie ?-I'm a 
, I only cop mint wax ?-I holla at homie who got a machine to wash my raers ?Let me know cuz I'll kill someone in here if this means I'm redrawing waveforms for an other 2 hrs....

...Urge to kill riiiisinnggg...
Bah, I guess everyone's off to get drunk and eat a turkey,... Enjoy fellas
I usually set aside an entire evening (5-6 hours) removing clicks/pops per 1 80 minute audio CD (digitizing 2 38 minute LPs onto 1 CD usually).
RayGun plug in for manual click/pop removal>Waves Restoration Bundle plug-ins for smaller crackle and noise reduction>Waves UltraMaximizer for boosting the overall volume of the music

Thx to MCDee for the hint
Before processing
After processing
Manually redrawing waveforms to remove clicks and can very quickly induce brain damage as well as quickly burning you out on your favorite tune. Sound Soap Pro is a bit expensive but not as expensive as a cedar system or the waves restoration plug-ins.
take the time to clean a record & set your levels properly before recording old wax.
I personally don't remove crackles and pops because I like to know the condition of the piece I'm listening to, but if it's too crackly it doesn't get digitized.
