More details of the test are described in the following video. To reflect the common time pressured workflow for reducing dialogue noise, I imposed a time limit of 2 minutes in which I had to get the best result possible for each example. The one file which wasn’t processed with either Waves Clarity Vx or Acon Digital Extract:Dialogue was the clipped audio file because neither of these tools offer a de-clip function.įor this test I attempted to get the best result possible with each plug-in and tried to strike the best balance between noise reduction and artifacts. Of course, Waves Clarity Vx mostly does its own thing so in this case it was a case of just setting an appropriate amount of noise reduction and choosing the best algorithm of the two available. With just a few simple controls, anyone can remove clicks and crackles, unwanted hiss, room noise, rumble, electrical hum, clipping, low volume, and other background noises from recordings. Other than that, it differentiates between noise and speech by itself and doesn’t need to learn the noise profile.Īntares Autotune Soundsoap is only available as part of Antares Autotune Unlimited and offers De-Hum, De-click, De-clip plus voice & spectral de-noising in a single plug-in interface.Įach of the noise samples in this test was processed with the appropriate tool from each plug-in. SoundSoap+ is perfect for anyone working with interviews, music, video projects, voiceovers, screencasts, podcasts, transferring LPs or cassettes, and more. Waves Clarity Vx provides the simplest interface of all the plug-ins included in this test with only two controls to adjust ‘Neural Network’ which is essentially a choice of 2 processing algorithms, and the ‘Ambience/Vox’ dial which controls the amount of noise reduction. have announced that SoundSoap 2.1 - a major update of the worlds best selling audio noise reduction software plug-in and application for Mac OS X and Windows XP - is now available. Acon Digital Extract:Dialogue automatically differentiates between dialogue and noise but nevertheless offers a simple set of controls to adjust the sensitivity and amount of attenuation. The iZotope and Acon Digital suites of plug-ins both provide a similar collection of noise reduction tools as four separate plug-ins offering reduction of hum, clipping, clicks and noise.
