[Rwp] Help with noise removal

Wed May 25 08:07:16 EDT 2016

hi, depending on the kind of noise you want to remove, there is a plug
in called stereo tool, which comes with something called declipper.
Its pretty nice for distorted audio and there are many presets but the
default should work for you. I had purchased the pro version which is
a bit expensive but its definitely worth it for what it does. And the
presets I have used golden cursor which is an NVDA add on to ssae the
points of where the presets and tabs are, its a vst. I did that
because the parameters offered in the accessible dialog were over
1500, and I wasn't just going to go back and forth through every
single one of them. I will have to experiment with reaFir and see
where the last step is. Probably it would be another golden cursor
thing.
