Professional audio restoration plug-in
SoundSoap Pro, by Bias, is an advanced noise reduction and audio restoration plug-in powerful enough for demanding audio professionals, yet easy enough for anyone to use. SoundSoap Pro's unique and comprehensive approach combines hum, rumble, click, crackle, and broadband noise reduction tools with a sophisticated noise gate, in a single intuitive user interface. Unlike other audio restoration tools, this streamlined, tab-based interface guides the user through the various tools in a way that yields the best results in the least amount of time. SoundSoap Pro works in practically any Audio Units, RTAS/AudioSuite, or VST host on Mac OS X and Windows XP or Windows Vista.
Hum & Rumble Removal For Low-Frequency Problems Even the faintest hum or rumble can ruin an otherwise perfect instrumental solo or irreplaceable dialog performance. Need to remove 60Hz hum, 50Hz hum, anything in between, or anything a lot lower? This tool gives you complete control over Q (filter width), Depth, Frequency, and up to 9 Harmonics. And in case you don't trust your ears, we've included a handy Hum meter as your guide.
Click & Crackle Reduction Cleans Up Old Vinyl Or Tape Ideal for serious vinyl noise, static-induced pops, cable connection crackles, or practically any brief and annoying transient, SoundSoap Pro's Click & Crackle tool delivers. A streamlined set of controls — Sensitivity and Threshold — provide instant, effective relief, while you monitor your work visually (via the spectrogram) and audibly (using the ABCD Compare and Noise Only options).
Broadband Removal For Noise With Components Over a Wide Range of Frequencies The Broadband Noise Reduction tool is at once amazingly simple and powerful. Use the Learn Noise button to set the degree of reduction automatically — or fine-tune it yourself using the 12 Threshold and Reduction sliders. Attack and Release controls (plus tilt functions) further enhance the power at your command.
Make a Final Pass With SoundSoap Pro's Noise Gate As SoundSoap Pro's last restoration stage, this fully integrated Noise Gate puts a final polish on your project. Threshold, Attack, and Release controls — accompanied by an impressively useful waveform display — let you easily eliminate whatever noise may still be present between the desired content. The display can even be frozen in time — so you can continue making adjustments at a desired location without stopping audio playback.
Global features SoundSoap Pro's user interface is tab-based, with each tab containing tools dedicated to removing a particular noise type. Convenient "global" features include: A spectrogram with variable frequency ranges, A/B/C/D Snapshots for comparing results between different setups, Custom Presets for saving setups permanently, and Noise Only Mode for real-time monitoring of the noise being removed by all active tools.
Bias Sound Soap Pro Features:
- Scrub away problems, leaving nothing behind but sparkling clean results.
- Noise Gate effectively silences noise that falls between desired program material; also useful for creating a variety of extreme special effects. The Noise Gate's visual display shows the audio waveform being processed, as well as the noise gate's threshold indicators.
- The Threshold Slider determines the audio level for the Noise Gate to open. The Threshold level is also represented by a pair of white, parallel horizontal lines, which appear over the audio waveform in the visual display.
- The Reduction Slider provides a proportional amount of noise reduction, based on the settings of the Noise Gate's Threshold Slider. The Threshold Attack Knob determines how quickly the Noise Gate opens, and can be adjusted by the knob, or by entering a number.
- The Threshold Release knob determines how quickly the Noise Gate closes and can also be adjusted with the knob or through numerical value entry.
