Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Whether you're shooting videos, restoring vinyl LPs, building Web sites, creating presentations, or making music, you probably care about your audio. Now, there's an easy-to-use tool that will make your work sound better than ever.

Bias SoundSoap scrubs audio squeaky clean--dramatically reducing tape hiss, clicks and crackles, buzzing and hum, rumble, and most other types of unwanted noise. Archiving your record collection to CD? Let SoundSoap buff out those scratches. Burning CDs from your old cassette collection? Don't forget the SoundSoap. A perfect narration, except for that annoying air conditioner? SoundSoap it!

Best of all--while SoundSoap uses incredibly advanced technology to do its magic--you don't need to be an audio expert. Just click the one-step "learn noise" button, and watch SoundSoap automatically clean your audio! Or fine-tune SoundSoap's intuitive controls for even more professional results--in just seconds.

So when your sound could use some serious sanitizing, or even just a little freshening up, count on SoundSoap. Nothing does the job faster, easier, or more affordably.

Features:

  • Reduces clicks and crackles, hiss, hum and buzzing, rumble, and most other noise--without harming the audio you wish to preserve.
  • The ideal audio companion for almost any MiniDV, Digital8, or other digital camcorder; video editing software; audio CD burning software; digital audio workstation; audio enabled Web site; presentation software; or other multimedia application.
  • Use SoundSoap as a standalone application. Or run it as a fully integrated plug-in with any compatible Audio Units, DirectX, RTAS or VST host program--contact BIAS for latest host compatibility information.
  • SoundSoap's easy and intuitive workspace makes cleaning audio a snap--while its unique Wash Window shows how well it works.
  • Use SoundSoap's one-step Learn Noise button to automatically reduce noise--or use its manual controls for more advanced applications.
  • Includes Enhance slider for additional tone control.
  • Standalone version works with most QuickTime or Windows Media-compatible audio or video file (AVI, DV, .WAV, SDII, AIFF, MP3, MP4, and many more).
  • Preserve Voice button helps reduce noise (and other audio) outside of the range of the human voice.
  • Hum removal optimized for 60 Hertz (North America, etc.) or 50 Hertz (Europe, Australia, etc.).
  • Noise Only mode lets you listen only to the noise being removed and is ideal for fine-tuning SoundSoap's controls.

Product Description

SoundSoap 2 is a user friendly audio cleaning program for Mac OS X and Windows XP. It eliminates or dramatically reduces almost any type of audio noise ? without degrading the original audio. Along with Hiss, Hum, and Rumble removal, new for version 2 are Click & Crackle removal (for vinyl LPs and other sources), and Enhance, for added "sparkle." Vinyl LP Restoration Made Easy with Click & Crackle Removal SoundSoap 2 has the same high-performance, great-sounding algorithm as SoundSoap Pro, but gives the user a greatly simplified, single-slider control. SoundSoap 2 is a perfect, incredibly cost-effective solution for musicians, audiophiles, and video enthusiasts who need to remove everyday clicks and crackles. Simply Powerful "One Click" Audio Restoration Despite SoundSoap 2's powerful new features, it retains essentially the same fast, clean, and easy-to-use interface made famous by the original SoundSoap. And while other solutions can tend toward complexity, SoundSoap 2's strength is that it depends upon highly advanced digital signal processing to do the "heavy lifting," without forcing users to confront a bevy of confusing controls. For instance, by clicking the Learn Noise button and adjusting just two knobs, even an audio novice can instantly remove most common problems such as hiss, fan noise from air conditioners, and other background noise. As described, a single slider can effectively remove most clicks and crackles. Attractive buttons for Remo...

4.0 out of 5 stars As if by magic!, March 13, 2006
By djbeardo "djbeardo" (Tallahassee, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BIAS SoundSoap 2 ( Windows/Macintosh ) (Video Game)
What a great product! I have nothing but good things to say about Soundsoap. I use it to clean audio from interviews done with my digital recorder, and it does an amazing job! Copy the audio out of whatever you use to edit, import (.aif, .mp3, .wav, .mp4, .mov, .whatever), use the learn sound, and then tweek away at the knobs. You should be able to get good results in about 3 minutes. The "learn sound" function is key - and it helps to isolate 2-3 seconds of the sound in a seperate file, import it, learn it, save the settings, and then import the entire file you want to "soap". Great results and I've had no trouble saving as .aif and .wav.
Why not 5 stars? It's key that you use this product with other audio software (not as a plug-in necessarily, but so you can bump volume, isolate good sounds to learn, etc.) and the knobs and sliders give the software a sort of black-box feel - you're never really sure how it works. Finally, the instruction book is a .pdf file, which some people find convenient, but I find it a pain.
Again, I've used this for interviews with outdoor ambient noise (leaves rustling, water burbling) and with AC units, lights, refrigerators, fans, etc. running in the background. Don't expect this to take out certain voices, or interuptions in the background - it won't happen. It has to be constant, "broadband" noise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Groooovy Magic, June 15, 2005
By S. Calamar (Specific Northwest) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: BIAS SoundSoap 2 ( Windows/Macintosh ) (Video Game)
Holy cow. I've used other filters to clean music, and for this price, I expected a "decent" job. SoundSoap 2 delivered awesome results with the most simple operation--the Learn Noise button. I'm a multi-track artist and had transferred old "open-reel" recordings to minidisc and then CD, in order to archive them. I was not happy with the hiss from older recordings when converting to MP3s. SoundSoap brought these recordings back to life-virtually eliminating the hiss and noise! It even made them "sparkle." And the less I messed with the settings, the better it came out. Downside is that it can't directly save MP3s, but no biggie--use Audacity (free on the Web) or iTunes to then convert your files. Nice job, Bias!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular!, November 2, 2006
By BookMan (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: BIAS SoundSoap 2 ( Windows/Macintosh ) (Video Game)
I have large LP collection consisting of several hundred classical albums that have been sitting in my garage collecting dust for years. I finally decided that I should try and see if I could covert them to digital and spent several weeks playing around with a variety of different hardware configurations and software programs. Needless to say, I wasn't entirely happy with the results. As a last resort, I had read some good reviews about Sound Soap (but was still skeptical) and decided to make one last effort to convert my LPs using it. To put it mildly, I have been absolutely AMAZED at the results I'm now able to obtain with Sound Soap.

Sound Soap is incredibly simple to use and performs magic on most LPs. While some noise can't be completely eliminated and I also have to put some minor finishing touches on my audio files using other programs after they've been processed using Sound Soap, I am certain that I wouldn't be able to obtain the spectacular results I'm now getting without it. This is one of the few software programs I've come across that I can recommend without any reservations.
