Record Cleaner

Record Cleaner has 4 utilities to clean up noisy recordings:

POP AND CLICK REMOVAL Scratches, dirt, and wear on the surface of a record can cause pops and clicks in playback. Live recordings sometimes have unwanted loud noises, and tapes can wear in such a way as to have pops and clicks. This tool will help remove them.

ELIMINATE HUM The Hum Removal tool is a "notch filter", and is controlled by a slider. It completely eliminates the sound in a narrow band (a "notch"). If you live in North America, the power coming from the power company is almost certainly at 60 cycles per second. In Europe and much of Asia it is usually at 50 Hz. There are a variety of things you can do to prevent this noise from getting on your recordings, but if your recording already has it, you'll need this tool.

REDUCE HISS There are many sources of high pitched hiss or crackling in recordings. Our hiss remover is a special purpose version of our 10 band equalizer, set up to make it very easy for you to remove high frequencies.

NOISE GATE A Noise Gate is a filter that measures the level of each frequency within the sound and reduces the ones that are likely to be noise.

Each of these functions can be adjusted until you get just the right setting. You can apply it to the entire file, or just a small portion. With just a few mouse clicks you can take a noisy recording and make it sound great!
