Waves X-Noise (Download)

With its simple, intuitive controls, X-Noise is perfect for removing tape hiss as well as air conditioner and computer noise from individual tracks, complete mixes, or damaged recordings.

There’s preamp hiss on a vocal, and room rumble is invading your ribbon mic. The guitar is picking up weird noises from your computer—and high-gain amp sims magnify the noise. No problem: X-Noise provides a “noiseprint”-based solution that can save you from having to re-record a track.

Isolate a section of the audio with the noise you want to remove, click Learn, and X-Noise subtracts the noise where it appears in the audio. Then, make a few tweaks to optimize the sound—done.
