Repair damaged audio and reduce artifacts with 5 audio restoration plugins

Now You Really Can Fix It In the Mix

It’s unavoidable: clicks, crackles, noise, and hum sneak into your audio. Luckily, Restoration offers a streamlined toolset to revive damaged recordings, rejuvenate old vinyl and shellac discs, protect archives, fix deteriorating film and television soundtracks, and clean up live and field recordings.

To bring audio back to life—or clean up sounds for post-production, podcasts, or remixes—Restoration bundles essential repair tools into a convenient, all-in-one audio cleaning solution.

X-Click

X-Click is the easy solution for strong, short, nasty clicks. It isolates, displays, and reduces clicks from analog sources (like switching noise and old vinyl records), but also minimizes clicks and pops caused by digital issues, such as clocking errors and sample rate mismatches.

Once set up properly, X-Click leaves virtually no audible artifacts—and the large, helpful display speeds up the click removal process by visually displaying the results of parameter adjustments.

X-Crackle

X-Crackle removes the subtle clicks and pops from damaged vinyl and other flawed recordings. After optimizing X-Crackle’s parameters, it automatically reduces surface noise—and thanks to sophisticated psycho-acoustic noise reduction algorithms, leaves the remaining audio untouched.

To simplify parameter adjustment and obtain the best results, the dual-window X-Crackle Scope shows the original waveform, along with a sonogram that displays the crackles being minimized.

X-Hum

Nothing interferes more with a great bass response than problems like hum and rumble. What’s more, at sub-audible frequencies, DC offset might be reducing your headroom. X-Hum addresses all these problems, quickly and efficiently, with zero latency and virtually no drain on your CPU.

X-Hum is the solution for issues that can compromise the low end of even the best systems—such as ground loops, bad connections, proximity to transformers, and rumble from mechanical devices.

X-Noise

There’s preamp hiss on a vocal, and room rumble is invading your ribbon mic. The guitar is picking up weird noises from your computer—and high-gain amp sims magnify the noise. No problem: X-Noise provides a “noiseprint”-based solution that can save you from having to re-record a track.

Isolate a section of the audio with the noise you want to remove, click Learn, and X-Noise subtracts the noise where it appears in the audio. Then, make a few tweaks to optimize the sound—done.

Z-Noise

Z-Noise’s advanced transient preservation technology is ideal for removing noise from musical material, while retaining the audio’s sonic integrity. From mic preamp hiss, to hum, to instruments that pick up computer noises, to masters, Z-Noise is the solution that all recording studios need.

Even if you can’t isolate a section of audio to remove, Z-Noise will extract a noise profile, with an Adaptive mode to handle varying noise. Z-Noise is your one-stop option to improve sonic purity.
