The Logic Off Topic list

Message posted by Petros Kolyvas <pkolyvas@...>:

Hi,

I'm looking for info/opinions on noise reduction / restoration plug-ins and
utilities for use with Logic.

Previously to my switch to Mac the only noise reduction /restoration I did
was on a friend's DAW running Samplitude/Waves Restoration, using both the
Waves tools and Samplitude's own broadband noise removal tool (destructive).

I was curious what options were around for logic. 

Recently I looked into Soundsoap Pro, but Bias has yet to release universal
binaries. 

What are others using? And is it feasible to aim for such things in logic?

Thanks,
Petros

Petros,

WAVEARTS recently announced a new resoration package.  
http://www.wavearts.com/MR.html

One of my co-workers is currently testing it and seems to really like it.  We are more than likely going to buy multiple copies for our team.  I will probably be buying it for my personal use as well.

Here are some of my notes from awhile back (prior to the WAVEARTS announcement) when I was considering alternatives to the Waves stuff...

Bias Soundsoap Pro 1 (Any VST,RTAS, AU host)
http://www.macworld.com/2004/10/reviews/soundsoalprorvw/index.php

BIAS Soundsoap 2  (Any VST,RTAS, AU host) 
This is an affordable and easy to use version of Soundsoap1 with some new features, although it looks like it won\ufffdt let you save Noise Profiles, which is handy when cleaning up old movie drops,  since most of the time we don\ufffdt have the hiss and noise isolated for the \ufffdlearn\ufffd function.
