Cleaning up dirty records

Yeah, I use windex too. Its probably not great for the vinyl in the long run, but it works great...

i never use those software based clean ups........it messes with the quality too much..... but what i do do is in the trim mode, highlight the biggest pops and silence them dont delete em. works great and you wont even notice the gaps. peace

On the real Decep, alot of my old records, I bought them to sample and I don't give a fugg about them, I have stuff thrown all on the floor and everything, I probably got stuff worth 40 bucks and I write on the label with a sharpie, TRACK 4 SNARE, TRACK 6 NICE INTO LOOP... the records I really care about I use my vinyl cleaning kit which is cool, but not the best. Really crusty stuff gets the bathtub/warm water/dishwashing fluid treatment. I only baby the records of old artists I am a fan of.
