AES: Bias unweiled Sound Soap Pro
Saturday October 11, 2003. 05:07 PM | Plug-ins > BIAS |
Bias has announced his new audio restoration plug-in for professionals at AES in NY.
Rather than splitting the restoration process into separate plug-ins, SoundSoap Pro uses a unique, integrated interface that allows the user to access any tool quickly and easily from within a single plug-in window. Tool navigation tabs are labeled (left to right) "Hum & Rumble," "Click & Crackle," "Broadband," and "Noise Gate" - reflecting the suggested order in which the operations should be performed, to obtain the best possible results. The tabs even provide convenient parameter feedback, allowing the user to monitor the primary tool settings globally, regardless of which tool is currently selected.
SoundSoap Pro's tool area features a unique, global, real-time spectrogram - providing constant visual monitoring of spectral noise that may be in need of treatment. With its intuitive color codes, the spectrogram allows users to discern problem areas and make relevant tool adjustments, all while listening to - and watching - the results. Furthermore, users can easily hear the noise they are reducing by selecting "Noise Only." Unlike Bypass - which can be used globally or for each tool, and which bypasses the processing - the Noise Only button allows the user to hear, on a global level, only what is being removed.
SoundSoap Pro is designed for every major plug-in host. The roster includes Peak 4 (VST/Audio Units), Pro Tools (RTAS), Logic Audio/Digital Performer (Audio Units), Nuendo/Cubase SX/Wavelab (VST), and many other compatible hosts.
Sound Soap Pro will be avalaible Q1 2004
I hope they will release a fully fonctionnal time-limited demo as for their other products.
