When Even "Shhh" Is Too Loud: Waves Z-Noise

Winter NAMM 2006: Sometimes it's what you don't hear that counts. If you've got recordings marred by tape hiss, 60 cycle AC hum, or the whirring sound from that *($&%^ hard dirve, Waves has just the thing. Z-Noise (part of the Restoration line of Waves plugins) automatically identifies the "noise profile" of your recordings and attenuates anything that fits. Waves says it even works with noises that change over time, like tape flutter. Hear it in action in Gearwire's Waves Z-Noise demo video.

Can anyone sense the irony at play here, or is it just me?

For the record Tim, you'd do a lot better job of marketing the noise removal capabilities of this plug-in by allowing a prospective buyer to audition it in something less reminiscent of the Birmingham NEC.

Still, I have to say it's a great plug-in, and relatively inexpensive too, so don't let the Gatwick Airport-type crap in the background put you off... even if it is all you can hear. Come on WAVES ... Sort it out.

Seriously...the irony of this video Facepalm. Not helping me decide whether to get it or not.

Just got this. Very impressed. Using it for nature recordings - almost impossible these days to find environments free of noise intrusions.
