Best magix audio cleaning lab version to use with windows 7

For any Magix Audio cleaning lab users out there !! Can anyone recommend which version of the Magix Audio Cleaning lab is the best to use with Windows 7 which is user friendly ? I understand some versions are too complex than others.

OR is there any alternative audio clean up software to use ?

There's a tremendous click and pop remover developed by Brian Davies, a retired Australian mathematician.

It's called ClickRepair.

It can be run in batch mode to remove ticks and pops from many files, automated, one after another. Takes anywhere from a couple of seconds to perhaps 30 seconds to process the typical song.

It works on WAV files. I convert my mp3s to WAV, run it, then convert back to mp3.

40 bucks, with a 30 day free trial. You pay him by Paypal. He gives you a key which allows you to use the app beyond the 30 day trial. You can Google for the trial version and download it.

He also has a general noise reduction app called De-Noise. More suitable for stuff like high frequency noise and tape hiss rather than clicks and pops. I think it's 40 bucks too.

I own ClickRepair and wouldn't be without it.

I've tried De-Noise. It works very well, but I've found that the noise reduction capabilities of the free Audacity recording application works just as well. So I didn't buy De-Noise.

Thank you for your reply

If you're on a budget or not, Audacity is probably THE audio editor to have. There's a huge catalog of "filters" and plug-ins available as well. There's a large following and group support for it too. I've used it for many years and it keeps getting better. And it's cheap! At $0, it's worth a look.

Forgot the link: Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder

I have had Audacity in mind but because I was very happy using a good version of Magix when I had XP running in the past, I naturally wanted a Magix version to use with Win 7.

I've recently come across the Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 10 for a reasonable price and with a high positive feedback so I'm thinking about this one as well.

I have Goldwave audio editor, but its not free. They used to have a shareware/trial version, but I don't know if that is still available.

I've cleaned some old vinyl records and the results were very good and didn't do anything to the fidelity (that I noticed).

Goldwave will work with MP3 or wav files.

Many thanks I will have a look into this one
