Subject:How best to remove pops from sound files

I have SoundForge XP v4.5. I inherited a bunch of au files
that have patterns of pops embedded in the sound. I'd like
to hear a theory as to why a sound file would have pops in
a regular pattern, but what I really need is a way to get
them out. Editing them out of quiet part was easy. When
they're embedded into other sound, it's another matter. Is
there a way to isolate the pop? Perhaps by playing the
sound in "slow motion"? Is there a way to slow down
playback for editing purposes?

Hey Joe...

You could try stretching the sound file, phasing it out and allowing you to see each event (almost!).

Another thing you could try (if you have the money) is to pick up a copy of something like Steinberg Declicker or another noise
reducing plugin. These specilise in removing popping, clicking and improving the general sound quality of any recorded sound
file.

Hope this helps,

Si.
