hey if you want to collab or trade notes, my email is in my profile. there was java software that did FANTASTIC work cleaning up crappy transfers of audio, like, specifically, it was perfect for "AM Quality Monaural Audio".

i say "was [...] software" because the last 2 times i've tried to use it, it did imperceptible cleanup, making it worthless. Anyhow, all my radio plays are from OTRR, i think.

Audio.Restoration.DeNoise.DeNoiseLF.2.8.3_WiN.OSX is a more recent version i think

p.s. are you a "dude named Ben"?

Neat! That's really cool. I'll definitely reach out once I'm ready to move forward on it. Got a few high-priority things sucking up all my free time at the moment :-(

Yeah all my radio plays are from OTRR now. I bought a number of different "collections" from different sources but none of them come even close to the quality and care that the OTRR people have.

Also, always a pleasure to meet someone else who loves old-time radio :-D

What are some of your favorites? Probably my favorite is Abbott & Costello, followed by Have Gun - Will Travel and Gunsmoke. I like the Lone Ranger too but am only a few hours into it so far.

p.s. I am indeed a dude named Ben!
