SoniqWare SG-1 is a stereo noise reduction and noise gate plugin with parametric control over noise profile, spectral resolution control and graphical editor.
Designed to provide radical noise reduction.
- Manual and automatic capture of noise profile from audio data
- Two different noise reduction algorithms
- Graphical display and edition of EQ
- Knee, attack, release, resolution controls
- Load and save programs and banks
- Two channels (stereo)
- Wide range of supported sample rates
Changes in v1.2
- redesigned to provide various noise tracking and reduction algorithms
- introduced automatic online noise tracking algorithm that can adapt to changing noise conditions
- introduced new noise reduction algorithm with improved transient preservation and improved noise reduction with minimal artifacts
- fixed issues with noise profile initialization
- fixed issues that could create glitches and artifacts for some signals
Note about the automatic online noise tracking algorithm: With this method, there is no need anymore to identify and capture a noise profile manually. This method works great on most instruments, including drums, as well as vocal and speech tracks. For busy signals and mixes, where the automatic approach may not work, you can still switch back to the capture mode.
Note about the new noise reduction algorithm: This method is now the default one, as most of the time, it behaves better than the legacy approach. It works great on vocals, speech, instruments, mixes… With this method, the release control is disabled, as a very accurate auto-release is used instead. Also, the spectral resolution control is disabled too. The algorithm actually uses an optimized frequency dependent resolution better matching the hearing process. For typical noise gate behavior, you can still switch back to the legacy mode, where spectral resolution can still be decreased down to a traditional single band noise gate.
