Scott R. Garrigus' DigiFreq(TM) - Autographed Books and Thanks ISSN: 1531-6505; Issue 33 Music technology downloads, news, articles, reviews, tips and tutorials for home recording and professional musicians. Over 20,000 readers can't be wrong! SPONSORED BY: Acon Digital Studio Clean - 10% off! Studio Clean is a DirectX and VST compatible plug-in suite for use in host applications such as audio editing or processing software. It consists of four plug-ins for noise reduction and quality enhancements: * StudioDenoiser is a plug-in for broadband noise reduction. Because the algorithm takes the perceptual properties of the human hearing into account it achieves a high level of noise reduction with a minimum of artifacts. * StudioDeclicker contains two different algorithms. The actual click filter eliminates larger clicks and pops in the recording, while the crackle filter eliminates very frequent, but short clicks. * StudioDeclipper restores recordings that suffer from analog or digital clipping. * StudioRebirth adds synthesized high frequency harmonics to give life to old and dull sounding recordings.
