SoundSoap is the first pro-quality noise reduction solution that's also easy enough for average consumers to use effectively.
With just a few simple controls, anyone can remove unwanted hiss, room noise, rumble, electrical hum, and other background noise from almost any digital media file — including digital video (DV), digital audio workstation tracks, analog cassette/tape recordings, vinyl LP recordings, and more.
It could be the old LPs and cassettes you've been archiving to put in your iPod — that almost perfect wedding video with the annoying background noise — or the noisy guitar tracks you recorded last weekend.
SoundSoap cleans up clicks, crackles, and turntable motor rumble in recordings of scratched up old LPs, as well as the electrical hum or buzz from a guitar amp picked up in a recording session.
Broadband noise — like air conditioning systems picked up by a DV camera's microphone, or the hiss from analog audio and video cassettes — doesn't stand a chance.
Wash Window
SoundSoap's unique Wash Window lets you listen — and watch — while it goes to work. The left side of the display shows the unprocessed signal, while the right side shows it after it's been cleaned. (blue = desired audio signal; red = noise).
Mac, Windows, Application, Plug-in — You Name It... This cross-platform, multi-format noise reduction powerhouse includes a stand-alone application, as well as Audio Units, RTAS/AudioSuite, and VST plug-in formats, so it can be used within popular hosts such as Peak, Digital Performer, GarageBand, Live, Logic, Premiere, Pro Tools, Sonar, Sound Forge, and many others.
