Thanks. > I can think of two ways to do this: method one: the cheap/free way (that might not work so well..) get a copy of audacity, isolate a block of the noise that you wish to eliminate. copy it onto a different track, and repeate the noise sample though out the entire recording. invert the noise sample track. line up the noise sample track so that the clicks are synchronized across the two tracks. this might or might not result with a sort of psuedo "active" noise cancelation of the clicks. method two: the proprietary software way: get the audacity VST enabler plugin (windows only) and then "obtain" a copy of the Waves Platnium VST bundle (again, windows only) there's several plugins in the set for noise reduction that work fantastically; x-click or x-noise might work well for you. x-noise can sample a section of noise and build it's anti-noise profile based on that. rtfm ;) good luck!
