Dethump from CEDAR Audio is a plug-in that works with CEDAR Audio's Studio version 9, as well as Pro Tools. Ideal for cleaning optical soundtracks, cylinders, 78 rpm discs, and stand bumps, the plug-in allows you to eliminate extended low-frequency thumps that are not responsive to conventional declicking processes and filters. The eliminated sound is replaced with restored low-frequency audio to create a smooth artifact-free sounding audio. Dethump supports the following plug-in formats; AU, VST3, AAX Native 64, as well as Pro Tools 12, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2024 Ultimate (64-bit only). Run Dethump on compatible DAWs running on Windows or Mac systems.

Remove Thumps
CEDAR Dethump eliminates low-frequency disturbances of up to 100,000 samples duration. It allows the user to identify the audio that constitutes the thump and uses the data in and around this to build up a picture of what the low-frequency audio should have been had the thump not occurred.
CEDAR Dethump then replaces the thump with restored low-frequency audio, leaving the undamaged high-frequency data unaffected. This makes CEDAR Dethump the best tool 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.
