Remove vinyl noise?

Hey everybody. Do you have any tips to remove the excessive vinyl noise when you sample? It can sound nice when you just sample a straight loop, but when you chop the different parts, it doesn't sound really good to me, especially if the record is not in good condition.
Thanks!

Depends on the type of noise. If it's clicks then declicker type of plugins work well. If it's broadband noise then profiling software like Sound Soap will work.

If it's a simple banded frequency then filtering will work ok.

you can apply an hp(Hi-pass filter) that removes the low frequences from the vinyl, generally 20-80hz.
+ apply an lo(Lowpass filter ) to remove the unwanted hiss sound, generally 1000khz and above.

the clicks and pops are easier to remove with an audio editor on you computer such as the audacity sound editor.

good luck!

Thanks! I already tried with audacity, but it doesn't work all the time, in particular for heavy pitched samples. I will try to filter it.

If you are using a low pass and hi pass filter then you are using a band pass filter.

I am wondering what type of noise you are referring to? Is is crackle, broadband noise, clicks etc?
Is it anomalies when you pitch up/down or time stretch because that's a completely different thing.

I'm talking about crackle. I tried to remove it with audacity. It works good but on certain songs, it takes out some frequencies of the song.

No matter what you use you are pretty much going to remove pieces of audio. Are you cleaning the record before sampling?

This:




There was a point a couple years ago where all my records were in storage so they all got cruddy. I got into the habit of cleaning all my records after that.

so that's two-thirds of the way to eradicating this horror:

Alcohol and toilet paper works well. Make sure your cart is aligned properly.
