Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead Drummer) is digitally restoring
old analog recordings (Wood Guthrie, Leadbelly, etc) for the
Smithsonian Folkways label (they then sell the cd version). 
This was shown on TV (show called "Inventions" or something like that).
The interesting thing is that they showed a MACintosh (or windows PC??)
program that let them edit the music digitally. That is, find a pop, or
click  and then the software can be directed to edit it out.

My question is : Who can tell me the name of that software package?
                 What hardware is used to interface to the computer? 
                 What was (or can be) the host computer?

Thanks,
Zen Kurokawa (newcomer to the dsp world)

There is a company called Sonic Solutions that has a Mac-based system called
No Noise that lets you remove hiss and pops from old recordings as well as edit
them.  I think their hardware consists of a box full of 56001s.  Its pretty
pricey, but the results are pretty impressive.  Originally, you had to send a
tape to them which they would clean up.  I think now they are making the system
available for purchase.
