This is an amazing little plug-in!  It works nearly as well as CEDAR!

Your ClickFix program works and doesn't mess up the sound. I just used it on a Lawrence Welk Presents the Great Overtures in Dance Time album with lots of big brass sounds. I wouldn't dare use the Adobe filter on songs like the Poet and Peasant Overture or the Lustspiel Overture without completely killing it. The record sounds like I just took the shrink wrap off of it. Thanks for the good work!

I would like to comment on your remarkable software. While it does not eliminate all clicks and pops, it still does a miraculous job. In the few weeks that I have used this software (with Cool Edit), it has saved me countless hours of time and grief when attempting to locate and remove offending waveforms that produced the objectionable pops and clicks...After some 10 years of trying to restore ancient LPs to "CD-like" quality, you have quite literally "saved the day" so to speak!

Thank you for developing such an efficient and effective piece of software. I'm sure it took you many, many hours to perfect and I want you to know I'm grateful. I've been digitizing my entire record collection, and without ClickFix such great results would not have been possible.

First of all, I want to join the others in raving about your program. It is SO much faster than the plug in that comes with Cool Edit Pro and 2000! This is the first shareware program that I have ever actually registered so I could use it un-disabled.

I wanted to write again to thank you for your miraculous ClickFix plugin.

I am a registered user and have been transferring LPs right and left in the past couple of months. Before, I had to use two or three different programs, and then often do manual editing and pasting to remove commonplace vinyl defects.

ClickFix stopped all that trouble. I seldom have to edit more than one bad spot per album, if that. Usually I run the Auto, normal setting: this is virtually the ONLY instance I can think of in which the default setting in a piece of software actually WORKS. Usually the default is simply awful: turned way up to 'make a noticeable difference', in order to impress the first time user that the software is worth getting, I suspect.

I have also run into noise and distortion modulation effects on all other declickers. Yours does not seem to do that, ever. It just works. It does not add a trace of distortion and grit to woodwinds, or piano transients.

The other day I transferred a Genesis LP of an obscure piano concerto by Goetz, and as it was playing, thought: "doesn't this disk sound AWFUL? I hate LPs..." But the playback of the transfer after one pass with my default setting of ClickFix changed all that; it's barely possible now to tell that it WAS an LP.

I might add that you probably cannot find a more discriminating sound editor in the amateur field than me. I spent many years producing classical radio shows (recorded more than 3500 hours of programs onto digital tape for syndication in 17 American markets) and owned over 13,000 LPs. I also produced some classical recordings for MHS, eons ago. I recorded the SF Symphony for its national broadcasts. So I am a retired *professional* who now only makes CD transfers for personal use. I think that the results I am getting are definitely better than many of the CDs that I purchase, using old vinyl and shellac disk sources.

ClickFix is amazingly fast and produces good results - pleasantly surprising running on my now-ancient P200. I am a full-time, lifetime audio engineer, it's great finding a product that so elegantly does what it's s'posed to - and without having to upgrade everything.

While I own [Syntrillium's plug-in], yours is faster and has been DEADLY accurate in it's clean up of clicks and pops.  I have an extensive collection of recordings of the bands of the '30s and '40s and have spent the last year and a half in cleaning these up and burning them to CD. The ClickFix program is a vital part of my clean up program...Congratulations on a very fine product...

Once again I have to compliment you for this excellent plug-in which really makes CEP2 complete.  On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll give it a 20.

I wish I had found your ClickFix three years ago. It is an excellent program. Very fast and accurate.  It's worth every penny! Your section about saving only the clicks is valuable. That way, you can see if you are removing too much.  I like Cool Edit, and this adds a much needed application.
