OK, so we all know TOOT is brilliant for removing rot & dropouts from 3 copies of the same video source.
Is there anything available that will do the same thing or something similar for audio?
Many thanks guys.

This is effectively the method that EAC uses when extracting tracks from audio CDs; multiple reads are used to identify any distortions cause by scratches and read errors.
To be honest I can't really see it being possible to implement such a thing on analogue captures, there are just too many variables. I'm sure the experts at the Hydrogenaudio Forums would be able to advise.

I've never used TOOT myself, but the idea behind it is just plain brilliant in its simplicity. I can't seem to find much info still hanging around on the net at the moment about it, but you might like to have a look here for a little more information and a basic description of how it works. I think Karyudo is the person who started and owns the whole TOOT project. If you're interested in downloading it and having a go, then it looks like Moth3rs' download link on this page still works. I'm not sure if there is a later version of the filter though.
Moth3r: Many thanks (yet again) for the info. I agree with you that there are many variables that would make an audio-TOOT extremely difficult if not impossible, but thought it a good idea to at least find out.
As it turns out, I have got a few VHS movies and some LP's where I have 2 fairly decent copies of the same material and was thinking of looking for a way of combining them to get rid of any audio nasties. TOOT just sounds like a great idea to me that could have wider ranging uses than purely LD or video restoration.

Wow, that's an incredibly cool idea. Very simple, but if the captures were well aligned I suppose it could actually work. The links to the tool seem to be dead, is such a filter actually available?

G-force mentioned a similar approach using Clense in the V8 thread.
