Despite our best efforts, noise always manages to creep into our recordings. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just push a magic button that could silence everyone and everything in the outside world when you’re ready to record? Since that button doesn’t exist, the next best thing is BIAS SoundSoap, the world’s best-selling audio noise reduction software plug-in and application for Mac OS X and Windows XP. In fact, the company has just announced that SoundSoap 2.1, a major update of the program, is now available. In addition to several enhancements to both the Mac and Windows editions, the Mac edition is now Universal Binary and provides 100% native compatibility for both Intel-based and PPC Macs. High fives all ’round!
SoundSoap 2.1 provides high quality noise reduction while still being easy enough for the average musician to use effectively. It runs as a standalone application or as an audio plug-in within AU, RTAS, and VST host applications on Mac OS X or within RTAS and VST hosts applications on Windows XP. SoundSoap’s strength is that it depends upon highly advanced digital signal processing to scrub your audio clean without forcing you to deal with all manner of confusing controls. By clicking the Learn Noise button and adjusting just two knobs, even an audio novice can instantly remove most common problems such as hiss, fan noise from air conditioners, and other background noise. SoundSoap 2.1 is available now for all registered users of SoundSoap 2 as a free download from the BIAS web site. Upgrades from SoundSoap 1 are also available and new customers can purchase SoundSoap 2 directly from us here at Sweetwater. For more sophisticated audio cleansing, SoundSoap users may also cross-grade to SoundSoap Pro.
