Smooth release: This parameter controls the release when applying noise reduction. A
higher value will reduce artifacts, but alters the decay of the audio. Generally speaking, this
parameter is most effective for diminishing artifacts in percussive (instruments with short
decay) tracks. A compromise has to be found when aiming to reduce artifacts.
Static smoothing: This function smoothes out the corrected noise spectrum used
internally by the algorithm to remove noise. The smoothing of the blue curve can be
visually confirmed by looking at the graphic.
The artifacts are thus reduced. This function usually leads to good results when applied to
speech, vocals, or pop music using high values. In the case of orchestral instruments, high
value settings of this parameter can cause unpleasant roughening of the sound.

Preview: Non real-time preview function.
Play original: The unedited original sample/object can be played here for comparative
purposes.
Presets: Here you can select the type of distortion and the type of audio material from
which noises should be removed. The parameters are set to sensible values according to
the selected combination. Of course, in more difficult cases, the result is not always perfect
the first time around. The presets do, nevertheless, provide much help when it comes to
finding the optimum settings for all parameters if used as the starting point for searching for
the best settings.
DeNoiser graphical display
The graphic shows you the original spectrum of the distortion (yellow curve) and the
corrected spectrum (blue curve). The left axis description shows the level in dB, the
upper axis description shows the frequencies in Hz. The level of the corrected spectrum is
set via the correction parameter. Furthermore, the curve can be smoothed with the "Static
smoothing" parameter.
Draw mode: In the first mode, the frequency response is displayed as a solid curve. In the
second mode, the frequency response is displayed as a line.
Freq lin/log: Linear display of frequency provides a more detailed view of the higher end.
Logarithmic display of frequency provides a more detailed view of the lower end.
dB lin/ log: Linear display of amplitude provides a more detailed view of the higher end.
Logarithmic display of amplitude provides a more detailed view of the lower end.
Get noise sample
With this command you can create a noise sample. To do so, you must select an area in a
wave project or an object in a virtual project, which contains only the noise to be removed.
The noise sample offers noise reduction a preset to aid in noise removal.
