ReLife 1.0 VST

[sinkmusic]

Naive question by a technical layman:

Wouldn't be a simple approach to reversion of a killed audio track level reduction followed by expansion? I know, there should be something more on top of that (transient treatment whatsoever). But basically this somehow should be the key to it, shouldn't it?

Doesn't FLux have a similar (and pricey) plugin ?

I have a hunch that Christian got the "bug", and eventually there will be another "revitalizer" plugin (some day...) in his delphi-asio-vst.

Or not?

Terry,

Any ideas on pricing for a 'Pro' version?

Someone's already mentioned my DC06 entry EQ22 which a kinda multiband version of this technology; tho' I devised an algorithm I call 'Transient Dispersion' which I won't talk about

I like what Terry's done here, I have a good idea about how it works, and applaud it. I wish the plug every success in the marketplace. I've found a place for it in a mix myself already!

There's a somewhat similar function, DeClipper, in iZotope's excellent noise reduction and restoration suite RX.

A related module in RX, Spectral Repair, is claimed to be able to save longer segments where DeClipper draws a blank.

So far, I've been in the happy situation that I haven't had to use either of these RX modules; I have used the various noise reduction modules with great success, though.

Of course, I have no idea if the RX tools work on a simliar principle as ReLife. I haven't seen any claim that they can restore the dynamics of an over-compressed mix or master.


Best,

Joachim

There is also a declipper in Cool Edit Pro 2 (and I guess then in Adobe Audition as well), in Nero WaveEditor, and another one as part of the Sonic Foundry audio restoration plugins bundled with Soundforge 5 (and perhaps also with subsequent versions I guess).

The one in Cool Edit at least use FFT as there is a FFT setting.

It's as if he's found a useful way to harness the power of that ex-girlfriend who always made a HUGE ordeal out of the smallest of things.

Yeah, had one of those once. This would have been very handy.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing, but after restoring a few hundred records manually in Audition (3 is the best for this), I eventually learned to eliminate or reduce distortion, sibilance and, of course clicks/pops. They all look very similar in spectral view.

Thanks for this Terry ... I'm gonna go re-master the CD version of Iggy's "Raw Power" with it.

It'll become Rawish Power, and better I'm sure.

you had a girlfriend?

Let me get this clear: v1.1 is still freeware and downloadable, only v1.2 is current restricted as a demo version.

Me and Agreed, and he agreed have a special conversation bout this.

Only see a link to 1.2 on the original post and I don't see a 1.1 link on your site. Not that I won't pay a nominal sum for the former.

Hilarious. Not the one I married, by the way. Feel sorry for her husband...if he's survived the distortion with no dynamic range.

The first link in the OP is to the freeware version, at the bottom he has 1.2.

Okay...thanks for pointing that out.
