Re: [ARSCLIST] vinyl noise

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course one could always dub in some surface noise, from a known source, and
de-noise THAT with one of the proper Cedar processes and maybe get some residual
silence elsewhere.  Failing that, I find vodka to be an excellent
solution...three glasses and you won't be bothered by anything.

Not only late in the day but the 97th consecutive day of the current heat
wave..I'm going out and fill the pool with beer, then I'm going to Drink Canada
Dry.
