Advanced BroadBand Noise Reduction!

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

Bias SoundSoap Pro offers noise reduction and audio restoration - with a minimum of tweaking, and greatly reduced chances of undesirable sonic artifacts. That's because SoundSoap Pro takes an innovative approach to the classic problem of restoring audio content. Bias SoundSoap is based upon newly developed algorithms that are dramatically more "intelligent" and efficient, Bias SoundSoap delivers truly amazing results - faster, more easily, and at a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, SoundSoap Pro's advanced technology means that your final product is far less prone to inadvertent "chirping", "muffling", "flanging", and other artifacts - while preserving your desired content.

Bias SoundSoap Pro combines in a single plug-in, three reduction and restoration tools - Broadband, Click & Crackle, and Hum & Rumble - plus a sophisticated Noise Gate with visual waveform feedback, for that final polish. SoundSoap Pro's unique, fully integrated interface means you're only one click away from a complete arsenal of tools.

Bias SoundSoap Pro's Hum & Rumble Window:
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 anything a lot lower? This tool gives you complete control over Q (filter width), Depth, Frequency, and up to 10 Harmonics. And in case you don't trust your ears, Bias SoundSoap Pro includes a handy Hum meter as your guide.

Bias SoundSoap Pro's Click & Crackle Tool:
Ideal for serious vinyl noise, static-induced pops, cable connection crackles, or practically any brief and annoying transient, SoundSoap Pro's Click & Crackle tool delivers. A streamlined set of controls - Sensitivity and Threshold - provide instant, effective relief, while you monitor your work visually (via the spectrogram) and audibly (using SoundSoap Pro's ABCD Compare and Noise Only options).

Bias SoundSoap Pro's Noise Gate:
As SoundSoap Pro's last restoration stage, a fully integrated Noise Gate puts a final polish on your project. Threshold, Attack, and Release controls - accompanied by SoundSoap Pro's impressively useful waveform display - let you easily eliminate whatever noise may still be present between the desired content. SoundSoap Pro's display can even be frozen in time - so you can continue making adjustments at a desired location without stopping audio playback. Bias SoundSoap Pro is Mac OS X & Windows XP compatible.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
