That will difficult but I bet if you expand the wave to maximum you can focus on the crackles and depending on the wear you might be able to clean it up a lil and hopefully not take away any of the sound....they will probably look like spikes, but it's going to be hard to get rid of that to be honest.

If you have the noise reduction 2 plugin that will easily do the trick. Just find an islolated portion that contains the noise (like a silent passage) and create a noise profile. Run the plugin using that profile and it usually does a good job of cleaning it up. Cool edit (Now Adobe Audition) has a similarthis feature built in. i don't use cooledit much but that fature is one of the best built in ones for that program. After saying all that, leave some of that crackle in.

hey thats a good idea mbiafb, I used a profile to remove dc offset or low level hum....from some mixes from noisy gear I might even try that too!
there is a vst called sound soap ..that does such things... but like eka said... the crackle is good...i like breakfast with the "bacon and eggs" sizzlin...lol

damn. not sure what happened, but i posted instructions in cooledit. I don't have cooledit with me right now to repost. I can try and do it from memory.
1. either sample just the noise ( if you have the vinyl, sample the the "silent" part before the music comes in) or try and isolate just the noise on the sample you have. the more isolated your selection is from the rest of the music the better your results will be. If you don't have the original record to sample from, try sampling the silent part of a record you have that contains similar noise.
2. select effects then noise reduction and then noise reduction.
3. click on "get profile fom selection". This will define the filter ( the noise reduction on Cooledit is basically a powerfull filter ).
4. Save this profile
5. Close noise reduction window, select entire file and the re-open noise reduction window
6. The profile you made should by default be loaded already. If not, load the profile you saved.
7. Apply filter.
8. Listen to your sample to make sure that nothing was removed that you wanted to keep.
Sometimes the filter does not remove all noise in one pass. Think of it the way dirt somehow gets through a vacum cleaner filter. Like a vacum, you can simply go over the same area again. Just open up the noise filter and use the exact same profile again. Hope this helped
