Restoration-NR is Next Generation Noise
Reducer
January 28, 1999Arboretum Systems today gave the first preview of their
next generation high resolution hiss removal software Restoration-NR at
the NAMM Show in Los Angeles.
Restoration-NR surpasses the sound quality of all other hiss removal
software while remaining completely simple to use. It uses 32-bit floating
point calculations to generate up to 4,000 bands of gated EQ, does adaptive
broadband noise reduction and combines sophisticated automatic noise recognition
with unique artifact control techniques.
What it all boils down to is that Restoration-NR provides new levels
of precision, definition, transparency and sonic purity. It will eliminate
more hiss with less coloration or loss to the original sound than any
other software noise reducer. It performs like the most expensive dedicated
systems yet Restoration-NR requires no special hardware.
Professional applications for Restoration-NR include:
- Music restoration - For any tape clean-up job, from priceless
studio masters to treasured personal cassettes and reels.
- Audio forensics - Designed for the most critical restoration
and recovery jobs.
- Archiving - Reduce annoying tape hiss before transferring recordings
to CD.
- Clean up field recordings, Interviews and dialog - Removes
extraneous HVAC and camera sound, adds greater professionalism to broadcast
production and audio for film or video.
Key features of Restoration-NR include:
- High Resolution Hiss Removal - Behind Restoration -NR's streamlined
front panel are up to 4,000 separate filter bands. It's the most selective
and transparent software noise reduction system available.
- Better Sounding Noise Reduction - Restoration-NR offers a significant
advancement in sound quality, pushing the noise floor farther out of
the signal with less impact on high frequencies.
- 24-bit / 96 kHz Compatible - Restoration-NR does all processing
with 32-bit floating point calculations. It'll handle any Wave file
at any bit depth or sample rate your Windows audio editing program can
support.
- Ease of Use - Automatic noise recognition, built-in artifact
control and an uncluttered interface make Restoration-NR pure simplicity
to operate.
- Separate Threshold and Attentuation - Dial in the best range
for processing and select the amount of hiss reduction with these simple
knobs.
- Special Cutoff and Boost Controls - Minimize or eliminate unwanted
high-end "roll-off." Remove more noise without causing muddiness.
- Learn and Search Modes - Let Restoration- NR's automatic noise
recognition find and reduce hiss automatically. Or show Restoration-NR
the noise floor "fingerprint" then let it go to work. Both
methods produce instant super-accurate results.
Restoration-NR requires a Pentium computer 166 MHz or faster with Windows
95/98 or NT, a Windows sound card and one or more DirectX (Active Movie)
compatible audio editing applications. Restoration-NR works on Wave files
at any bit depth and sample rate supported by the host sound editing software. For more information, visit Arboretum at www.arboretum.com. |
