No Noise, Waves Restoration

[BothMan]

I am looking for the best restoration plugin. Both restoration and no noise say they are HD only. Is this true. I am on MIX hardware, OS X and Pro Tools 6.2.2

Anyone know what my options are??

Thanks

There are a few options:

Sonic Solutions No-Noise Plugin - haven't tried it, Sonic users rave about it (they've had it much longer of course).

Digidesign's DINR - IMO, not woth the cost. You can only get about 5dB of reduction before getting artifacts, plus the TDM Hum Removal plugin only runs on DSP Farm cards.

WAVES Restoration - The TDM version is for HD only. There is a native version available (at half the cost) that will run just fine on your system. I have DINR, and when I heard what Restoration could do, combined with its lower price, it made me want to cry...profusely. I bought the Restoration bundle and haven't looked back.

Definitely the restoration bundle in native, I don’t see any reason to go tdm with that bundle, in noise removal I rather work off line then online.

Depends on type of work, but generally, NoNoise is much smoother than Waves and DINR and produces less artifacts.
Manual de-clicker is excellent in NN and Broadband reduction is the best de-hisser around.

Thanks for the replies.

So, does Sonic No Noise definatley work with MIX hardware?? Because on the plugin page only HD is checked?


Thanks again

Sonic No Noise is currently available only for HD systems.

Thanks NK

I guess it's native waves restoration then.
