The Waves Restoration Bundle gives musicians and audio enthusiasts a powerful set of software-based audio editing, restoration and noise reduction tools for cleaning up the sound of vinyl records and other noisy source material. The bundle is made up of X-Noise noise reduction, X-Crackle surface noise elimination, X-Click transient tamer, and X-Hum hum reduction. Fast and incredibly simple to use, each component of Restoration provides feedback through audio output, audio difference, and intuitive graphics. Each processor utilizes the latest in psycho-acoustic research and multi-level decision algorithms.

X-Noise
Waves X-Noise reduces noise with minimal signal degradation while preserving excellent audio quality. Part of Waves Restoration bundle, X-Noise removes hiss and hum from vinyl records and damaged recordings. Featuring a friendly interface that is easy to learn and use, it intelligently learns from a section of noise, then applies broadband noise reduction to eliminate background noise from any source. With its intuitive user interface, X-Noise features primary controls that are similar to classic dynamics processors.
X-Noise is ideal for removing background noise caused by tape hiss and air-conditioner/ventilation systems. Real-time operation allows you to adjust the parameters and hear the results immediately.

X-Crackle
The second stage in record restoration eliminating crackles and surface noise. Waves X-Crackle reduces crackle sounds while preserving excellent audio quality. X-Crackle is part of Waves Restoration bundle, a comprehensive suite of software plug-ins for the restoration of vinyl records and damaged recordings. Featuring an intuitive, friendly interface that is a breeze to learn and use, X-Crackle does it all using just two basic controls.

X-Crackle employs the most recent psycho-acoustic research and multi-level decision algorithms to remove crackle while preserving the sonic clarity of your source. It delivers better results than comparable DAW tools and rivals the performance of more expensive, dedicated hardware solutions. X-Crackle eliminates noise without creating audible artifacts.

X-Click
Waves X-Click reduces strong, impulsive, transient noise while preserving excellent audio quality. X-Click is part of Waves Restoration bundle, a comprehensive toolkit for the restoration of vinyl records and damaged recordings. X-Click features a user-friendly interface that is easy to learn and use. With both Automated and Manual work modes, X-Click uses two simple parameters to effectively remove clicks from 78's or vinyl records, as well as spikes arising from digital switching or crosstalk.
X-Click is ideal for old vinyl and shellac records as well as recordings tainted by switching noise, digital cross-talk, or thyristor buzz. Unlike other click-removal systems, X-Click leaves virtually no audible artifacts when used properly. It employs the most recent psychoacoustic research and multilevel decision algorithms to remove clicks while preserving the sonic clarity of your source. X-Click performs better than comparable DAW tools and as well or better than more expensive, dedicated-hardware solutions.

X-Hum
Waves X-Hum reduces rumble, DC-offset, and hum while preserving excellent audio quality. X-Hum is part of the Restoration bundle, a complete toolkit for the restoration of vinyl records and damaged recordings. With eight harmonically linked notch filters, X-Hum attenuates ground loop hum by up to -60dB. It features a friendly interface that's easy to learn and use as well as high pass filter options for removing rumble and DC-offset. X-Hum is the perfect solution for:
¢Hum disturbance caused by problematic ground-loop circuits.
¢Low-frequency rumble caused by mechanical analog systems, such as turntables and tape machines.
¢DC offset tilts in the audio waveform.
