Its like acoustic modeler, but for EQ -- essentially you can 'steal' the EQ from anyrecording and apply it to your music. An innovative idea, and it works quite well. Its interface could have been made better however (if youuse SoundForge you need to do extra steps that you shouldnt have to.)

Definately worth the download :)Note : Its not immediately apparent how to use this plugin, so I've written a quickstart tutorial which will be installed into your FreeFilterdirectory.

Wave Repair v3.4 3.4

Wave Repair is an editor designed specifically for ultra-fine level alteration of the waveform shape in WAV files. It is specifically targeted atremoving clicks and pops from LPs. The primary mechanism for this is manual redrawing of the waveform. It also has an automaticdeclicking function that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, depending on the characteristics of the source material. Like all otherautomatic declicking software, Wave Repair's deterministic algorithms are necessarily less than optimal in detecting and repairing thelargely unpredictable nature of LP damage.³³

As usual, Wavesmakes an addon that scores very high in sound quality. Its interface is easy to use (or 'plain' depending on your point of view) and I foundits cpu usage very reasonable.From Sensei :This plugin knows its place, and does its job very well. The sizeably-ranged attenuator and sideband channelling are very useful for takingcare of any vocal track you might have. Good, logical visual layout, too. A strong point about this program is the fact that its field ofoperation is extremely narrow, meaning that it won't affect ANYTHING other than hard consonant "ch" and "ess" sounds. This isn't justnoise-reduction, and shouldn't be seen as such. It's definitely a specialty plugin.
