Waves Z-Noise Native Noise Reduction Plug-In $375 The Waves Z-Noise Native Noise Reduction Plug-In raises the audio restoration bar. Waves originally set the standard for professional audio restoration software with their acclaimed X-Noise plug-in. Waves Z-Noise is a single-ended broadband noise reduction audio processor. It very effectively reduces noise while preserving the highest audio quality. Superficially, Z-Noise works like other broadband noise reduction processors that use a noise profile, or noise print, to differentiate valid signal from noise. Waves Z-Noise plug-in uses intelligent multilevel decision algorithms to maximize noise reduction with minimum unwanted artifacts. Plus, Z-Noise uses a more musical band split method for more natural results throughout the sound spectrum.The Z-Noise audio restoration software is ideal for removing additive noise such as tape hiss, vinyl surface damage, wind, air conditioner and ventilation system noise. Z-Noise offers several improvements, including:Z-Noise works on the complete frequency spectrum, thus high-frequency hiss and low-frequency rumble can be removed in the same pass, making it a truly broadband noise removal tool.Real-time operation allows you to adjust parameters and hear the results immediatelyExtract Profile ModeYou don't always have a section of pure noise from which to create a noise profile. Using the Extract Noise Profile feature, you can create a noise profile from a noise sample which is "contaminated" by program material you want to save.Adaptive Mode - You do not necessarily need to create a noise profile in order to reduce noise. In the Adaptive Mode, Z-Noise extracts a noise profile on-the-fly and reduces the noise even if the profile changes over time. Better transient treatmentWaves Z-Noise offers improved transient handling as well as enhanced transient processing options that allow for greater noise reduction with less transients smearing. The noise reduction software can detect and enhance transients prior to noise reduction processing, then de-enhance the transients after noise reduction, thus allowing for more aggressive noise reduction while preserving transients.Enhanced Noise profile adjustmentsIn both the normal and adaptive modes, Waves Z-Noise noise reduction software allows you to control the spectral nature of the noise profile. In this manner you can more precisely define what is a noise and what is program material.Knee control lets you adjust the angle of the knee to smooth or sharpen reduction dynamics.

Drawmer Ds201 Dual Noise Gate $725 The DS201 is a sophisticated dual channel noise gate incorporating a number of features pioneered by Drawmer, which are invaluable to the sound engineer, and not found on conventional noise gates. These features and its "user friendliness" have made it the "industry standard" throughout the world. Setting up noise gates can be tedious and unrewarding. For example, when attempting to separate a signal from unwanted noise or crosstalk that is relatively high in level, spurious triggering of the gate by unwanted components within the sound can be a serious problem. This can often be experienced in the studio when recording a drum kit. If a gate is used to clean up the snare drum sound it is quite likely that the nearby hi-hats will spill into the snare drum microphone and cause the gate to open. Increasing the threshold level may cure this problem, but then there is a very real danger that any quieter snare drum beats may not cause the gate to open at all and the performance can easily be ruined. The DRAWMER solution to this problem is the inclusion of two variable filters, one high-pass and one low-pass, which act upon the side-chain keying circuitry. By setting the output switch to key listen the user can hear the action of the filters and adjust them to reject high frequency spillage from the hi-hats. This now enables the gate to only open on the lower frequencies present in the snare drum. Drawmer pioneered the concept of frequency conscious gating, and the Drawmer DS201 was the first noise gate to include this feature. The very fast attack of the DS201 means that it can open in a matter of micro seconds, thus preserving the natural attack of whatever sound is being gated and the comprehensive envelope controls mean that the gain can be changed at whatever rate best suits the material being processed. With vocals for example, a fairly fast attack is needed so as not to clip the leading consonants but a slower release time will prevent the end of words being clipped off and will also fade out any noise gradually rather than cutting it off abruptly. This latter point is very important as the human ear is far more sensitive to rapidly changing noise levels than to a constant low level noise. Another important role played by the gate is in the reshaping of existing sounds. An example of this might involve a simple sampling delay line used to store a sound to be re-triggered later and added to a mix. A gate can be used to impart a slower attack or faster decay to the sound and careful setting of the decay envelope can effectively hide any noise present at the end of the sample. When using a sampler or drum machine the gate can be considered a triggered envelope shaper, and the wide range allowed by the envelope controls make the DS201 ideal for this application. The unit can be switched to accept a key input, which allows the gate to be triggered externally. An example of this would be to use a snare drum signal to open the gate on a separate a |

Drawmer Ds404 Quad Noise Gate $1125 The DS404 Quad Noise Gate has been designed to the highest specification to complement the DS201 Dual Noise Gate, acknowledged as the industry standard gate throughout the world. Recognizing that there are many general gating applications which require equipment that is simple to operate and which occupies the minimum of rack space, Drawmer designed the DS404 Quad Noise Gate utilizing new and unique Program Adaptive circuitry. This makes the DS404 ideally suited for use over a wide range of input signals, ranging from drums and other percussive instruments through to vocals, pianos and even complete mixes. Facilities available on the DS404 include: Frequency Sensitive. The provision of variable Low-Pass and High-Pass Filters allows without compromise frequency selective gating. The unit can be switched for either Internal or External Key source and the KEY LISTEN facility enables monitoring of the filter setting. Hard/Soft Gating. Each channel of the DS404 can be operated as a HARD or SOFT gate, providing quite different characteristics. Two coloured LEDs clearly indicate mode status._In the HARD mode the DS404 offers ultra-fast response time, stable triggering with complete freedom from chatter around threshold and a specialized release contour which is ideally suited to drums and other percussive material._In the SOFT mode the DS404 becomes a versatile Expander capable of handling vocals and sub mixes. Drawmer's unique 'Programme Adaptive' circuitry is used to optimise the attack time and ratio as well has having some effect on the manual release setting . A more gentle release characteristic is utilized to complement the SOFT gate Threshold. A fully variable threshold control provides a range from +20dB to -70dB. Release Control. A fully variable release control is provided with release times from 10 ms to 5 sec to ensure that essential envelope control is not sacrificed in exchange for an economy in rack space. Attenuation Range. The DS404 has switchable attenuation between 90dB and 20dB to allow for applications where a complete mute is not desired. Chain Linking. Operating the LINK control switches the channel on the right to SLAVE operation, where its gating mode, threshold and envelope characteristics are controlled by the MASTER (left) channel. Any adjacent three channels or two stereo pairs can be linked in this way for use in any conceivable situation where linking may be required. LED Displays. Drawmer's familiar tri-colour LED display is once again utilized as the optimum method for indicating the envelope status for each channel. Input/Output. The DS404 is provided with balanced inputs and outputs on XLR connections. |

Isp Technologies Decimator Pro Rack Noise Reduction $395.1 From the original inventors of the HUSH noise reduction comes advanced, patent pending, state of the art technology in real time noise suppression. The Decimator offers a revolutionary breakthrough in Noise Reduction processing with an unparalleled level of performance. Most noise reduction systems suffer from one major problem inherent in their design: The system cannot be immediately responsive to both very short-term staccato notes and long slowly decaying signals. The typical downward expander noise suppression system suffers from a dead zone in the release response characteristic, which causes a compromise in tracking both fast decaying notes and long sustained notes.The Decimator Pro Rack design offers a novel approach to tracking the envelope of the input signal called Time Vector Processing. Due to this approach in controlling the expander, the Decimator system will instantly respond to short staccato notes and, at the same time, will provide a very slow ripple free control of long sustained notes. This means that the Decimator noise reduction system is an extremely transparent and high performance system.The Decimator Pro Rack uses both Dynamic filtering and low-level downward expansion. A Time Vector Processing circuit controls the release response of both the downward expander and dynamic filter. The input of the Decimator unit is TRS 1/4 inch balanced to eliminate any common mode noise. Both channels can be used at a 10 or +4dBU reference level. The Decimator Pro Rack is also designed using high quality, studio grade, voltage controlled amplifiers for both the dynamic filer and downward expander. This provides dynamic range noise performance of greater than 118db.The Decimator Pro Rack is extremely easy to use; simply inset the Decimator at the end of your signal chain or, insert the Decimator Pro Rack in the effects loop of your amplifier to clean up the noise present at the amplifier input as well as the noise in the amplifiers pre-amp section. Packaged in a single space 19-inch rack, it offers the highest possible performance. Note: Hush is a registered trademark of GHS/Rocktron, ISP is not affiliated with GHS/Rocktron. |

Noise Cancelling Headphones
If you have been bothered by outside noise while listening to your audio player, then you may want to try noise cancelling headphones. Environmental noise can be very annoying when you are trying to listen to your favourite song on a bus or a train. At home there can be the sound of kids or even the neighbour mowing his lawn! You shouldn't have to have the volume at such a level where it will drown out the noise as this may also damage your ears.
Noise Cancellation Headphones will cancel out most of those annoying those background sounds
Noise cancellation is a fairly recent invention created to shut out background noise while allowing you to listen to music at low volume with no distractions. You can now find the quiet you've been looking for.
There are generally two types of noise cancelling headphones. One is Active and the other is Passive.
Pretty much any type of headphones offer some type noise reduction. The materials they are made of help to block out some of the outside noise.
The best type of headphones for passive noise reduction are the circum-aural variety as they are constructed to maximize noise filtering. They are made up of layers of high density foam (or another similar material) which makes them heavier than normal headphones. But they can reduce noise by around 15 to 20 decibels.
A better option for noise cancelling would be the Active variety. They work by cancelling out lower frequency sound waves. A small microphone placed inside the ear cup listens to sounds from the outside world and a circuit inside the headphones creates a sound wave which is 180 degrees out of phase with the incoming noise. This ‘anti sound' is fed into the headphone speakers with the normal audio. The anti-sound erases the noise but does not affect the normal audio sound waves. The power required to do this requires the use of a rechargeable battery inside the noise cancelling headphones.
Active noise cancelling headphones can block out around 70 percent of ambient noise.
Make sure you read reviews when looking to purchase noise cancelling headphones. brands have very short battery life and don't really reduce very much unwanted noise at all. Higher priced models don't necessarily mean you get better quality noise cancellation properties either.
Some people say that noise cancelling headphones compromise sound quality by muffling the sounds. They can also take a while to get used to as the user can experience a change in air pressure although the air is supposed to be vented through ports in the ear cups.
After trying active noise cancelling audiophile headphones the true audiophile will never go back to standard audio headphones. They can even help alleviate fatigue when travelling which can occur when you are exposed to low frequency noise for an extended period.
You can even use them when you are not listening to music. Just put them on and enjoying the peace and quiet.
A little bit of quiet can be music to anyone's ears!
