Bias SoundSoap Pro

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.
