Waves X-Crackle
De-Crackle Plugin
Minimize Low-Level Crackles and Surface Noise
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.
