Restoration Suite 2 is a comprehensive suite of four state-of-the-art plug-ins designed for audio restoration and noise reduction. These plug-ins – DeNoise, DeHum, DeClick, and DeClip 2 – offer powerful solutions for reducing unwanted noise, hums, clicks, and distortion from audio recordings, with minimal impact on the wanted signal. The suite introduces advanced features such as dynamic noise profiles, improved algorithms, Mid/Side (M/S) processing, and support for up to 7.1.6 surround and immersive audio channels.
Key Features:
- DeNoise: Designed to reduce hiss, wind noise, buzz, and camera noise, DeNoise offers both adaptive and noise profile modes. Version 2 introduces dynamic noise profiles that capture fluctuating noise characteristics, effectively reducing noise that changes over time, such as wind noise.
- DeHum: Targets hum and buzz from poorly grounded electrical equipment and other tonal noise sources. The updated version includes an improved hum detection algorithm and a new Scan button that automatically fine-tunes the fundamental hum frequency. Mid/Side (M/S) processing is also supported.
- DeClick: Removes impulsive noises such as clicks, crackle, and thumps. DeClick is effective for cleaning up vinyl record noise, digital recording errors, and vocal plosives. The improved algorithm in Version 2 enhances the removal process while preserving attacks and transients, and it supports M/S processing.
- DeClip 2: Restores audio distorted by analog or digital clipping using an enhanced algorithm. DeClip 2 features adjustable upper and lower threshold values with graphical representation, making it easier to monitor and control the restoration process.
The Restoration Suite 2 supports multiple plug-in formats, including VST, VST3, AAX, and AU (Mac only), making it highly versatile across different DAW environments. It handles high sampling rates up to 192 kHz and provides features such as transient detection, frequency emphasis filtering, and solo noise modes to ensure efficient noise reduction. The inclusion of optional M/S processing and advanced algorithms ensures that noise reduction is accurate without compromising the quality of the original material.
