ok I have to confess I'm a newbie and I just need to know if what I want to happen is possible with soundforge6.
I have two mp3 files located at http://j.slyip.com/opera
They seem to have a crackling noise which I am guessing has come from the microphone.
So basicly all i need to know is, is it possible to remove this sound at all? If so anyone got any pointers as to where I would start??

Yes, this can be done effectivly. The Click and Crackle remover part of SF Noise Reduction-2 plug-in would definetly take a lot of that out with minimal or no audible artifacts.
As an alternative, you could clean them up manually, though it would take LOTS of time: Highlight the offending click and select <Tools>-<Repair>-<Replace> . But the Click and Crackle remover is your best bet, however it's more costly $ wise.
It would help if you worked on the original non-MP3 files and then re-render to MP3.
It doesn't sound like a mic problem.

Thanks very much for your words of wisdom rraud... Will try and track down the original recording first will probably save time in the long run.

Thanks again m8
