Now, just because one plug-in in a bundle is great, it doesn't automatically mean that the rest will be too. I believe this has something to do with the way their algorithm works with harmonics.Īnother important factor to bear in mind is that all of the above are sold as bundles, so you don't only get a broadband noise reduction plug-in, but also clip, click, crackle, impulse, spectral, band, harmonic, etc, depending on the bundle you choose. I have used Waves X-Noise on occasion and, while it does sound quite natural, it has a tendency to "suck the air out of a recording" often leaving it sounding dull and lifeless.
Algorithm D in Advanced mode can give you fantastic results, but is very processor intensive and can take some time to run (Very relevant if you are on a tight deadline!). Once again, best results are to be had using multiple passes and smaller increments. Having said that, personally I believe RX provides better results, particularly when dealing with more complex material. Personally, I use Mode 2 the most, as it provides a reasonable degree of noise reduction while still providing a natural result. Also, ensure that you are using Mode 2 or 3, as these are the most transparent. It is actually particularly effective for the type of broadband noise your are wanting to remove but, as with any plug-ins of a similar nature, it works best when used in multiple passes of smaller increments (8-10dB) rather than trying to remove all the noise at once. Sony NR is good and I have used it on a regular basis since 2001.
