The native Restoration Bundle from Waves is a collection of plug-ins designed to fix damaged audio files. It can be used to revive damaged recordings and fix archival recordings or deteriorating film and TV soundtracks. The bundle includes the Z-Noise, X-Noise, X-Hum, X-Click, and X-Crackle plug-ins. It supports RTAS, AudioSuite, AU, and VST plug-in formats on both Mac and PC.
Please note this bundle is an electronic download.
Z-Noise Native from Waves is a broadband noise processor ideal for removal of tape hiss, ground hum and computer noise. The software can remove both high frequency and low frequency problems simultaneously without adversely affecting the source material.
The plug-in features a familiar five-band EQ interface and an "Extract" mode which can create a noise profile from sources that contain signal, as well as a flexible "Adaptive" mode. Real-time operation means parameters can be fine tuned and changes heard as they are made.
Monitoring provides a choice of either listening to the audio after Z-Noise processing or the noise being removed. A choice can also be made between increased frequency resolution or improved time resolution, or a combination of the two.

X-Noise Native from Waves is an audio restoration plug-in that employs the same intuitive controls often found on traditional dynamics processors used for removing tape hiss, air conditioner or computer noise from individual tracks, complete mixes, or damaged recordings. The noise can be modulated while preserving the sonic integrity of the source. An Audio/Difference switch allows for monitoring just the offending artifacts.
- Threshold: -20dB to +50dB
- Reduction: 0 to 100

- Gain: -30dB to +30dB
- Resolution: Low, Medium, or High
- Noise Reduction Meter: -inf. to 0dB with peak hold indicator
- Learn: captures the noise profile
- Output Meters: -30dB to 0dB with peak hold indicator
- Monitor Mode: Audio or Difference
X-Hum Native from Waves is an audio restoration plug-in that employs an easy to use interface to attenuate ground loop hum, DC offset, and low-frequency rumble caused by turntables and tape machines. Using eight harmonically linked notch filters allows for modulating the noise while preserving the sonic integrity of the source. An Audio/Inverse switch allows for monitoring just the offending frequencies.
- On/Off
- Filter Type: -12dB/Oct or -24dB/Oct
- Frequency: 4Hz to 100Hz
Notch Filters
- Frequency: 20Hz to 400Hz fundamental frequency
- Q: 3 to 60 global Q factor
- Link: Linked (all), Odd - Even or Unlinked
- Gain: -60dB to 0dB per harmonic filter
Output Gain Fader
-50dB to 0dB
Output Meter
-30dB to 0dB with peak hold indicator
Monitor Mode
Audio or Inverse
X-Click Native from Waves is an audio restoration plug-in for use with native based audio systems that removes transient noise often found in vinyl and shellac records. Clicks, spikes, switching noise and digital crosstalk material can be modulated while preserving the sonic integrity of the source. An Audio/Difference switch allows for monitoring just the offending artifacts.
- Threshold: 0 to 100
- Shape: 0 to 100
- Attenuation Meter: -inf. to 0dB with peak hold indicator
- Output Meter: -30dB to 0dB with peak hold indicator
- Monitor Mode: Audio or Difference
X-Crackle Native from Waves is an audio restoration plug-in that employs advanced psycho-acoustic algorithms to remove crackles and surface noise from vinyl records and damaged recordings. The crackles and surface noise can be modulated while preserving the sonic integrity of the source. An Audio/Difference switch allows for monitoring just the offending artifacts.
- Threshold: 0 to 100 for targeting crackles
- Reduction: 0 to 100
- Attenuation Meter: 0dB to -inf. with peak hold indicator
- Output Meter: -30dB to 0dB with peak hold indicator
- Monitor Mode: Audio or Difference
