Denoiser
The Denoiser is especially useful for the elimination of continuous background noise, such as electric
buzzing, band noise, noise produced by the sound card, your HiFi equipment (for example, the turntable)
and LPs.
All the Denoiser needs is a sample of the disturbing noise. Some of the most common disturbing noises
are provided. It is however preferable to make your own noise sample. All you need is a short section of
audio material with the isolated disturbing noise.
Noise Level: This is the threshold at which the Denoiser starts to work. This value needs to be as exact
as possible. Low values will result in deficient damping of the disturbing noise and in formation of
artefacts such as disturbing sounds or "tweeting"(see artefacts
). Excessive values will produce a dull sound, as all higher frequencies of the music signal will be filtered
away. So it is recommendable to spend some time on the correct adjustment of this value!
Noise reduction:
To adjust the balance between the original signal and the processed signal. In many occasions it is better
not to eliminate the whole disturbing signal but to dampen it only 3-6 dB. This will help maintain the
natural sound of your sound material.
In case of buzzing sounds however, we recommend that you eliminate them completely.
Removed Noise

Noise Sample Section
Pick!
Generates a NoisePrint. A small noise sample will be taken from the actual position onwards. It is
important, that the noise sample includes no music or voices, but only the pure disturbing noise signal.
The actual position can be changed using the transport bar even if the module is already opened in order
to search for an ideal sample.
The noise print cannot be generated if the replay position is located between two objects. An error
message will appear to remind you.
Play:
To listen to the noise sample.
Auto:
If this switch is activated, the length of the noise sample will be chosen automatically.
Length:
Choose the length of the noise sample in ms, if the "Auto" switch is turned off.
Save:
The generated Noise Sample can be saved in the "Noise Print Sample" directory. It can then be selected
from the "Noise Sample Presets" selection whenever you need it.
Noise Sample Presets:
Choose one of the noise samples. The noise samples are located in the "Noise Print Samples" directory.
If you generated the noise sample using the "Pick!" function, then it will appear in the list titled
"NoisePrint".
