TC Electronic has announced a new version of the Restoration Suite, a set of audio restoration tools for PowerCore.
Restoration Suite version 1.5 adds a new DeCrackle plug-in as well as processing improvements to the three existing audio restoration tools: DeClick, DeNoise and DeScratch.
Like DeScratch, the DeCrackle algorithm was developed by Noveltech in Finland. It is specifically designed to remove artifacts ranging from 1 to 20 samples long. Crackles typically manifest as constant surface noise, like what is heard in the background of a record. As with all plug-ins in the suite, DeCrackle has an audition feature, which can be used to playback only the noise that has been removed from the signal.
The DeNoise plug-in has been updated with an 'auto' mode that makes it possible to remove noise from material where it is not possible to take a fingerprint - for instance if there are no parts with noise only. Fingerprints can now be adjusted independently for left and right channels.
The DeScratch plug-in's 'high quality' mode has been improved significantly with new interpolation algorithms, and the DeClick plug-in features enhanced detection algorithms.
Restoration Suite 1.5 will ship in June at EUR 1,495 ex. VAT.
The upgrade will be free for existing users.
