Whether you're archiving from vinyl, transferring studio and live analog recordings, performing forensic audio analysis, or battling a noisy recording environment, SoundSoap Pro 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.
SoundSoap Pro combines, all in a single plug-in, three restoration tools -- BroadBand, Click & Crackle, and Hum & Rumble -- plus a sophisticated Noise Gate, for that final polish. A unique, fully integrated interface means you're only one click away from a complete arsenal of tools.
SoundSoap Pro -- it'll leave your tracks sparkling. Without taking you to the cleaners.
