That's exactly what you should do. Processors like Cedar can clean up
recordings without destroying the sound byt cheap Windows software is
another matter. I'd use something like CoolEdit (Audition) or WaveLab
to take out individual clicks and not worry too much about hiss. Jumps
need to be dealt with at source. If necessary use an old deck with a
heavy tracking weight.
