It could be the old LPs and cassettes you've been archiving to put in your iPod - that almost perfect wedding video with the annoying background noise - or the noisy guitar tracks you recorded last weekend. Bias Soundsoap 2 Audio Cleaning Software cleans up clicks, crackles, and turntable motor rumble in recordings of scratched up old LPs, as well as the electrical hum or buzz you often get from a guitar amp. Broadband noise - like air conditioning systems picked up by a DV camera's microphone, or the hiss from analog audio and video cassettes - doesn't stand a chance.

Amazing results are just a click away - SoundSoap's user interface is designed to be simple and focused, making it easy enough for anyone to use. A single click of the Learn Noise button solves most simple noise problems, and a few extra clicks offer powerful fine-tuning, for even better sounding audio. Any way you choose to use it, SoundSoap's advanced audio restoration technology does the hard work for you, and gives crisp, pro-quality results in just seconds. SoundSoap's technology isn't the only amazing thing - the price is too.

Bias Soundsoap 2 Audio Cleaning Software puts pro-quality audio noise reduction technology within everyone's reach, and then works in practically any editing scenario imaginable. Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, application, plug-in - you name it. This cross-platform, multi-format powerhouse includes Audio Units, RTAS/AudioSuite, and VST plug-in formats, so SoundSoap can be used within your favorite compatible editing environment. For those users whose editing applications don't support plug-ins, a stand-alone application is included as well.

Give your audio a pre-wash soak. Just click Preserve Voice, and SoundSoap instantly scrubs away noise (and other sounds) outside the range of the human voice. Choose whether SoundSoap's processing is on or off, or listen to just the offending audio (Noise Only); a very useful mode for manually adjusting the controls - while preserving the desired sound.

Click Learn Noise and in seconds, SoundSoap automatically profiles any noise in your signal and adjusts the Noise Tuner and Noise Reduction knobs to their ideal settings. SoundSoap removes hum (typically introduced by electrical interference from fluorescent lights or inferior wiring) with just one click. Choose 60 HZ (for regions with ~120 VAC electricity) or 50 HZ (for regions with ~220 VAC electricity). With one button, SoundSoap virtually eliminates low frequency noise, or "rumble" including turntable motor noise, an idling truck, or any similar such noise below 40 HZ.

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.)

The Noise Tuner control helps you "tune in" the hiss and other background noise you want to remove. The Learn Noise button will automatically set this control for you - or if you like, you can grab it and adjust it manually Noise reduction can be adjusted manually with the Noise Reduction knob (or automatically by clicking Learn Noise). A low setting is good for subtle noise; for bigger problems, just crank it up and listen to the noise evaporate.

Buff out those scratches, and restore your Vinyl LP collection quickly and easily. With a single slider, SoundSoap removes pops, clicks and crackles without affecting the audio you want to keep! After you've cleaned your audio, leave a super fine polish with SoundSoap's unique Enhance Slider. This intelligent dynamic control brings back any missing frequencies, and leaves your finished audio sparkling.

In standalone mode, Bias Soundsoap 2 Audio Cleaning Software operates as its own application - and will process the sound of almost any digital video or audio file - including QuickTime, Windows Media, DV (camcorder format), .AVI, .WAV, AIFF, even MP3, MP4 (AAC) and more.
