Hi everyone,

If you see a download warning — this is because the plugin is new and unsigned. A signed version will be available next week. You can safely override the warning."

I'm Leonard, a new developer on the forum. I'm releasing my first plugin — a free noise reduction VST3 using spectral subtraction.

It's designed to clean up dialogue, vocals, and instrument recordings with minimal artifacts.

### Features
- Spectral subtraction algorithm
- Real-time noise profile learning (Learn Noise button)
- Adjustable reduction amount
- Difference Mode (hear only the removed noise)
- Built-in spectrum analyzer
- Low latency (~46ms)
- Preset saving and loading

### System Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
- VST3-compatible DAW (FL Studio, Reaper, Ableton, etc.)

### Download
https://clearwatercodes.com/downloads/N ... n.vst3.zip (https://clearwatercodes.com/downloads/Noise%20Reduction.vst3.zip)

Just unzip and copy the .vst3 folder to your usual VST3 directory (C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\) and rescan in your DAW.

I'd love to hear your feedback — this is my first release, so any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks for checking it out!

— Leonard

Noise Reduction VST3 – Updated Build Now Live

A quick update on the Noise Reduction plugin:

Code-signed with a trusted SSL.com certificate

Download warning should now be reduced (SmartScreen trust will build over time)

Tested and working in FL Studio

No changes to the plugin itself — just a signed, trusted release

Download:
https://clearwatercodes.com/ (https://clearwatercodes.com/)

If you see a SmartScreen warning, the file is signed and safe — it just hasn't been downloaded by many users yet. That will improve as more people download it.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback — it's been incredibly helpful!
