SoundSoap Pro Audio Restoration Software

Whether you're archiving from vinyl, transferring studio and live analog recordings, performing forensic audio analysis, or battling a noisy recording environment, SoundSoap Pro audio restoration software scrubs away problems leaving nothing behind but sparkling clean results.

SoundSoap Pro offers unparalleled noise reduction and audio restoration with a minimum of tweaking and greatly reduced chances of undesirable sonic artifacts. Competing high-end solutions may do a decent job but are typically complex, costly, and cumbersome--in some cases forcing you to tweak hundreds of controls before you can get close to your desired results.

The Bias SoundSoap Pro audio cleaning software combines 3 restoration tools--BroadBand, Click & Crackle, and Hum & Rumble--plus a sophisticated Noise Gate. There is total store and recall of all parameters as well as an ABCD Compare function for instant comparison of up to 4 different settings. A unique, fully integrated interface means you're only one click away from a complete arsenal of audio editing tools.

The Hum & Rumble tool effectively eliminates buzzing and hum from RFI, EMI, and other sources; up to 10 harmonics; and reduces low-frequency and subsonic rumble. Even the faintest hum or rumble can ruin an otherwise perfect instrumental solo or irreplaceable dialogue performance. Need to remove 60Hz hum, 50Hz hum, anything in between, or something a lot lower? This tool gives you complete control over Q (filter width, range: 20-500Hz), Depth, Frequency, and up to 10 harmonics. And in case you don't trust your ears, there is a handy Hum meter to guide you.

Click & Crackle is ideal for digital transfers of vinyl records and is also a great problem solver for pops and other brief, transient problems. Easily handles serious vinyl noise, static-induced pops, cable connection crackles, or practically any brief and annoying transient. A streamlined set of controls--Sensitivity and Threshold --provide instant, effective relief while you monitor your work visually (via the spectrogram) and audibly (using the ABCD Compare and Noise Only options).

Broadband provides deep, sonically transparent elimination or suppression of tape hiss, tire noise, wind, HVAC noise, fluorescent lighting noise, and other continuous broadband problems. It operates across 512 distinct audio bands (controlled by 12 threshold and reduction sliders with grouping capability) and features attack, release, and tilt knobs for greater control.

Noise Gate effectively silences noise that falls between desired program material and is also useful for creating a variety of extreme special effects. As Bias SoundSoap Pro's last restoration stage, this fully integrated Noise Gate puts a final polish on your project. Threshold, Attack, and Release controls--accompanied by an impressively useful waveform display--let you easily eliminate whatever noise may still be present between the desired content. The display can even be frozen in time so you can continue making adjustments at a desired location without stopping audio playback.

The realtime spectrogram in the audio restoration software provides constant global visual monitoring of spectral noise; color coding lets users discern problem areas and make required adjustments while listening to and watching the immediate results. The Noise Only button allows the user to hear, on a global level, only what is being removed from the processed audio. The Bypass function allows you to bypass processing globally or for each tool. The handy Thumbnail view shows each tool's parameters with a minimum of screen real estate.
