& instantly reduces noise from your digital video or digital audio

Now, there's an easy-to-use tool that will make your work sound better
than ever.
BIAS
SoundSoap scrubs audio squeaky clean " dramatically reducing tape hiss,
buzzing and hum, rumble, and most other types of background noise.
Making a road movie? Let SoundSoap wipe away tire noise. Burning CDs
from your old tape collection? Don't forget the SoundSoap. A perfect
narration, except for that annoying air conditioner? SoundSoap it!
Best
of all " while SoundSoap uses incredibly advanced technology to do its
magic " you don't need to be an audio expert. Just click the one-step
"Learn Noise" button, and watch SoundSoap automatically clean
your audio! Or fine tune SoundSoap's intuitive controls for even more
professional results " in just seconds.
So
when your sound could use some serious sanitizing, or even just a
little freshening up, nothing does the job more easily, more
effectively, or more quickly than SoundSoap.
SoundSoap's
Noise Tuner
control helps you "tune in" the hiss and other background noise
you want to remove " rather like tuning in a radio station (but one you
don't want to hear). The Learn Noise button will automatically set this
control for you " or if you like, you can grab it and adjust it
manually.
The only button you really need to know is
Learn Noise
" and in less than three seconds, SoundSoap will automatically profile
any noise in your signal and adjust the Noise Tuner and Noise Reduction
knobs to their ideal settings. It really couldn't be simpler!
The optimal amount of
Noise Reduction
is set automatically (once you click the Learn Noise button). Or you
can manually adjust the Noise Reduction: A low setting is good for
subtle noise control for bigger problems, just crank it up and listen
to the noise evaporate.
Just how much cleaning is taking place? SoundSoap's unique
Wash Window
lets you listen " and watch " while it goes to work. The left side of
the SoundSoap Display shows the unprocessed signal, while the right
side shows it after it's been cleaned by SoundSoap. (Blue = desired
audio signal red = noise.)
Professional
recording engineers know that very low-frequency noise called "rumble" can be just as troublesome as tape hiss and other
higher-frequency noise. With one click on the
Remove Rumble button, SoundSoap practically eliminates rumble such as an idling truck, or any similar such noise below 40 Hertz.
Few
things can ruin a fine recording as much as a loud hum " typically
introduced by electrical interference from fluorescent lights or
inferior wiring. Now, when hum raises its ugly head, chop it off with
one click on the
Remove Hum button. Choose 60 Hertz
(for North America and most other regions with ~120 VAC electricity) or
50 Hertz (for most regions with ~220 VAC electricity).
The
Mode
ion lets you choose whether SoundSoap is on or off. You can also listen
to just the offending noise ("Noise Only") this can be very
handy for adjusting the Noise Tuner " while preserving the desired
sound.
In
standalone mode, SoundSoap operates as its own application " and is
able to process the sound of almost any digital video or audio file "
including QuickTime, DV (camcorder format), .AVI, .WAV, AIFF, even MP3
and more. There's simply no better, faster, or easier way to clean up
your audio files or video soundtracks.
