Just take any EQ capable of doing notch filters (like IIEQPro

) and dial in narrow notches at 233, 465, 930 and 1860 Hz. Done.

Just got this email from Waves:

In response to the widely publicized complaints from TV viewers and broadcasters of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Waves is proud to unveil a solution which dramatically reduces the problematic sound of the omnipresent Vuvuzela trumpet favored by South African soccer fans.

Working in conjunction with a major television outlet, we've precision-crafted a preset processing chain for broadcasters which drastically decreases Vuvuzela noise: The WNS Waves Noise Suppressor and the Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer. Together, they not only minimize Vuvuzela noise, they increase the intelligibility of the game announcers' play-by-play action and color commentary.

The processing chain for Vuvuzela noise reduction is now available as load-and-use sessions for Pro Tools, Waves MultiRack, and Cubase. Read More

WNS Waves Noise Suppressor is a real-time noise reduction plugin which is unsurpassed for noise suppression in both indoor and outdoor environments with constant or modulating noise. Originally engineered for reducing noise from dialogue in film and video, WNS has since proven itself invaluable as a broadcast tool.

And all it will cost you is $2900.

All could be much easier if the Geneva Conventions would be applied to soccer.

(of course that'd be the beginning of the end of soccer - which would be a good thing...)

yeah, very strange behaviour, what are they thinking of? I mean, were talking about football here, and what could be more rational than an industry in which groups of adult men are paid sums of money equivalent to the GDP of a small country to run round a field chasing a ball? those south african fans are crazy...

no, no, no, you get it all wrong... it's just a very special cultural difference the civilised west is not yet ready to face and absorb. for instance, in my village we cut all visitors balls as a sine of warm welcome. who would want to change that?

I am left speechless with Waves even though I am fully aware of how greedy they generally are. If someone will ever try to sell ice in the north pole I am sure it'll be Waves. "And remember to keep your WUP current every year to avoid the melting of the icebergs and reduce the global warming effect! Now topped to $200 for both poles!"

I've heard that the south african fan projects are pimping vuvuzelas right now, so that there are not tuned anymore on ais (or a) but in gis. So your hack won't work.

Seriously: I've tested the prosoniq plug and the notch alternative but i stay with FabFilter C and Q, notching, shelfing and compressing the sound depending on the tv channel which is actually broadcasting the game, the capacity of the actual stadium and the obvious mic positions in it. Take me seconds and the result is far better
