What a great UI.

Introduced the Non-Local Means denoising algorithm on Crescendo. This algorithm is a medical grade denoising algorithm used on 2D and 3D medical images that i have adapted for 1D audio data.

The plugin can be downloaded here: https://www.kvraudio.com/product/crescendo-by-bjt2

To use the new NLM filter, just open the NLM filter.txt example file in the Crescendo interface and use it in your DAWs.
Read the manual first for tips and tricks. It's extremely CPU heavy and the high settings are to be used only for off-line processing or final rendering.

Your video is 6:40 of pure explanation / description without a single audio example. Imagine someone trying to promote an effect or instrument that way.

Sorry, I didn't think to include an audio example initially. Since the primary use case is restoring '70s masters, copyright constraints prevented me from sharing original material.

Excuse me for the delay, but while setting up a synthetic demo to show the results, I stumbled upon some bugs in the UI rendering and the NLM code. I've spent the day fixing them and I've just released v1.0.195.

I also recorded a stress test using a raw Sawtooth wave buried in heavy white noise to demonstrate how the NLMH (Hyperbolic) engine extracts the signal.

Video here:

You can find the exact setup I used in the video inside the new .zip file: look for a file named 'Test NLM Filter2.txt'. You can load it to test the algorithm yourself.

If you have a more powerful CPU (the one in the video is an old sandy bridge, hence the AVX version) you can crank up further the parameters, and for offline rendering you can crank up further them...

Depending on your DAW, you can also use this setup as an active effect. If you route an external audio signal to Input 1, you can simultaneously add the noise, layer it with the Sawtooth, and then denoise the entire summed signal in real-time.

Thanks for the feedback, it helped make the plugin much more solid!

Bof… It's very US-centric and quite messy.

[osiris]

Just like American highways...

This guy has coded some very good plugins...

That's more like it! That short clip is worth 1000 words. Impressive.

You should see the effect on MRIs...

I am performing tests and i tweaked the coefficients. Also made a script for testing with 4 stages in series. In a few days i will release the v 1.0.196 with the tweaked coefficients. Also i ditched the linear kernel because the hyperbolic is more efficient.

Also note that in the video 0.003 is a BIG noise. I am performing tests on old tracks with a noise about 0.001 peak-peak, so the task should be easier. But the problem is the distortion if you use too high strength...

Nice!! thanks for sharing

Released the version 1.0.196 with rehauled NLM code and examples with manually tuned parameters.

Just play with the strength parameter as first step. Then if your CPU allows it, increase the block size or the window size. For offline processing best is to increase block size and just a bit the window size.

Released the version 1.0.199 of Crescendo, with improved SoundFont import.

You can use Crescendo as a soundfont player, but obviously you can also modify the imported files to add new effects, etc...

Here it is a video showcasing the import feature:

I was unsure where to post this. It's mostly samples.

There's a 'free samples' thread in Samplers forum

Appreciate it
