ot; cleaning up noise in music files

[Willem van der Walt<willem@top.health.gov.za>]

Hi,
If you have sighted assistence, gwc (gnome wave ccleaner),  is the best 
program under linux that i know of.
Gramofile works, but its menus is a pain with speech and the filtering is 
not nearly as good as that of gwc.
When you get to the "process audio signal" screen in gramofile, you should 
try the default filter, but repeate it about another three times to get 
good results.
You can press enterthree times once you are on the right place to make the 
filter used four times in a single run.
I reasently also found a command line tracksplitter program.
one can give it understandable paramaters allowing for good results.  I 
never use gramofile's track splitting feature as i found that does not 
work well at all.
