cleaning up vinyl tracks

[montage]

I've been recording old vinyl records to my hard drive to eventually make myself some CDs. I've been using Home Studio 8 to this.
I've read in some places that Steinberg Clean! is used to help eliminate the old scratches and pops. But for the time being,
I can't pick up any new software. Are there any techniques I can employ in Home Studio to clean up unwanted noise in my recordings?
Much thanks to all who can help.

Hi Montage,

I did a feature article about this for Electronic Musician magazine a little while back. Stop by my site and go to the Work section. Select Electronic Musician, and then in the list of articles find the one labeled, "Clean Up Your Act". You can read it online for free.

Best,
Scott

Hi montage - I posted a similar query in the newbies forum - and received some good ideas - I think probably the audio editors are more likely to have noise reduction facilites/plug-ins than the sequencers - of course I could be wrong. Do you have sound forge or cool edit? Anyway you might want to check out the thread in the newbies forum, under 'ideas for sprucing up old cassettes' - regards - malgo.
