NewBlue Audio Scrubbers Collection, including the following six filters:
- Audio Polish, which cleans and enhances audio tracks with minimum effort. It includes noise reduction, compression, brightening, and even adds a touch of reverberation.
- Auto Mute, which removes background noise by muting the signal below a threshold, a technique also known as “noise gating.” This is particularly useful with voice over narration.
- Cleaner, which removes many undesirable sounds from the mix. This must-have tool includes both noise reduction circuitry and hum elimination.
- Hum Remover, which removes electrical hum by applying a notch filter to the specific hum frequency and its harmonics (overtones).
- Noise Fader, which dynamically reduces the background sound by fading the signal progressively when it goes below a set threshold.
- Noise Reducer, which eliminates background noise with a powerful yet remarkably simple to use tool.
