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.

Either will work and work well. If you are starting from scratch I would recommend the t.c. electronics because I like its integration of hardware and software better, but if you already have an existing computer editor/workstation, especially one set up for ProTools, then the Waves obviously makes better sense. There are also powerful noise reduction tools from Cedar and Algorthmix. Which is better really depends upon what you are trying to do.

Using noise reduction fingerprint only works if you match the fingerprint to the actual noise. By that I mean, if you have an unmodulated disc and record its fingerprint, it really won't do much if you apply it to another disc. Please expalin what you're trying to do, I may have missed something.
If all you're going to do is declick vinyl transfers than why not start by using the click removal feature in Adobe Audition? It may be good enough for your needs.
