Written specifically and integrated within the workflow of Merging Technologies' 64-bit Pyramix DAW, this CEDAR Audio Audio-Restoration Plug-In Bundle includes five advanced processors that allow users to eliminate a wide range of common problems and significantly improve the sound quality of their audio. Each plug-in is derived from the company's multi-award-winning CEDAR Studio and CEDAR Cambridge flagships, and provides unsurpassed results, quickly, and with a minimum of fuss and user intervention.
Auto Declick incorporates a better impulsive noise detection and a better interpolator than any previous declicker available for Pyramix. This results in superior performance across a wider range of material than ever before. After use in most cases, it's not likely that you can hear that the signal was damaged prior to restoration.
The plug-in based upon an advanced algorithm optimized for long clicks and scratches and is capable of restoring clicks and other problems (such as dropouts and digital errors) of up to 2000-sample durations. Simply mark the offending signal and Manual declick will eliminate the problem.
To extend its flexibility and ensure effective restoration in the widest possible range of cases, two declick models are provided.
- Model A: The general-purpose manual declicker; the optimal choice for many situations.
- Model B: Removing extended clicks in the presence of high levels of background noise can lead to a hole in the background, even though the music or speech signal is reconstructed correctly. Model B retains the atmosphere, even when restoring the longest and most intractable clicks and other impulses.
It's amazingly simple to operate and as applicable to film soundtrack restoration and broadcast as it is to traditional audio restoration jobs such as CD and DVD remastering.
Remarkably simple to use, Auto Dehiss is nonetheless a full-featured package for cleaning up audio for post, CD and DVD mastering, soundtrack restoration, broadcast, and sound archives.
Dethump uses the data in and around the damaged signal to build up a picture of what the low-frequency data should have been had the thump not occurred. The process then replaces the thump with restored low frequency audio, leaving the undamaged high frequency audio unaffected. This makes dethump ideal for removing many of the previously intractable problems associated with optical soundtracks, as well as for restoring damaged cylinders and discs, and for cleaning modern recordings when, for example, microphones and stands are bumped. CEDAR's process can analyze and restore damaged signals of up to 100,000-sample durations.
