SoundSoap 2 from Bias is a suite of audio processors dedicated to "cleaning" audio, whether the audio is involved with shooting videos, building websites, creating presentations, or making music. Although the program uses advanced technology to do its job, the complex processes are transparent to the end user.
The "Learn Noise" button will automatically create a noise profile and adjust the "Noise Tuner" and "Noise Reduction" knobs to their ideal setting. The software needs a small chunk of "noise-only" source to perform the analysis. The two knobs can also be used in manual mode. Noise Tuner allows the user to tune-in to the hiss or background noise that needs removal. Likewise, the Noise Reduction control dials in the amount of reduction that is applied to the source material.
SoundSoap 2 now features a "Click and Crackle" control for removing noise from vinyl recordings, and an "Enhance" function that restores some of the high frequency content that can be lost in restoration work. A "Remove Rumble" button deals with low frequency noise such as an idling truck, or any similar noise below 40 Hz. The "Remove Hum" button reduces loud hum, such as is usually introduced by electrical interference from fluorescent lights or inferior wiring.
