X-Noise

There's preamp hiss on a vocal, and room rumble is invading your ribbon mic. The guitar is picking up weird noises from your computer—and high-gain amp sims magnify the noise. No problem: X-Noise provides a "noiseprint"-based solution that can save you from having to re-record a track.

Isolate a section of the audio with the noise you want to remove, click Learn, and X-Noise subtracts the noise where it appears in the audio. Then, make a few tweaks to optimize the sound—done.

Features:

• Simplify tweaking with familiar, dynamics processor-like controls.
• Works with individual tracks, or complete mixes.
• Focus the reduction amount with Threshold and Reduction controls.
• Obtain visual feedback from frequency-based spectral display.
• Smooth the reduction processing with Attack and Release controls.
• Add a high-frequency boost or cut with a high-shelf filter.
• Save two noise profiles for easy comparisons.
• Optimize resolution for frequency or time-domain processing.
• "Difference" mode monitors only noise—try this for sound design.
• When you can't isolate the noise, choose from 13 factory presets.
