Restoration Suite vs. Restoration Bundle


Anyone tried both of these and have an opinion about which is better for vinyl to digital transfers? Restoration Suite is from T.C. Electronic and Restoration Bundle is from Waves.

The Restoration Bundle certainly has the advantage in compatibility with other software/hardware.

In a related question, does anyone know if you can get blank LP's? Apparently to optimize use of the noise filter you need to create a noise profile with no signal.

Onhwy61, you haven't missed anything except that I don't intend to get any specialised hardware unless it lets me use noticably better software - and I don't own either currently. I was thinking of using Lynx hardware to do the audio capture and using the noise reduction software as a post-process. I like Lynx because they have a high quality A/D converter that can be placed outboard from the computer and connected to it via AES/BEU (or whatever its called). Once the signal is in the digital domain it is safe to bring into the computer.

I was thinking of using Adobe Audition to edit my audio files and then using Adobe Premier or Encore to create DVR mode DVD's. (I'm a bit iffy on the last step.)
