The Waves Z-Noise Native Noise Reduction Plug-In raises the audio restoration bar. Waves originally set the standard for professional audio restoration with their acclaimed X-Noise plug-in.

Waves Z-Noise is a single-ended broadband noise reduction audio processor. It very effectively reduces noise while preserving the highest audio quality. Superficially, Z-Noise works like other broadband noise reduction processors which use a noise profile, or noise print, to differentiate valid signal from noise.

Z-Noise uses intelligent multi-level decision algorithms to maximize noise reduction with minimum unwanted artifacts. Plus, Z-Noise uses a more musical band split method for more natural results throughout the sound spectrum. Z-Noise is ideal for removing additive noise such as tape hiss, vinyl surface damage, wind, air conditioner and ventilation system noise. Z-Noise offers several improvements, including: Z-Noise works on the complete frequency spectrum, thus high-frequency hiss and low-frequency rumble can be removed in the same pass. It is a truly broadband noise removal tool. Real-time operation allows you to adjust parameters and hear the results immediately

Extract Profile Mode—You don't always have a section of pure noise from which to create a noise profile. Using the Extract Noise Profile feature, you can create a noise profile from a noise sample which is "contaminated" by program material you want to save. Adaptive Mode - You do not necessarily need to create a noise profile in order to reduce noise. In the Adaptive Mode, Z-Noise extracts a noise profile on-the-fly and reduces the noise even if the profile changes over time. Better transient treatment—Z-Noise offers improved transient handling as well as enhanced transient processing options that allow for greater noise reduction with less transients smearing. Z-Noise can detect and enhance transients prior to noise reduction processing, then de-enhance the transients after noise reduction, thus allowing for more aggressive noise reduction while preserving transients. Enhanced Noise profile adjustments—In both the normal and adaptive modes, Z-Noise allows you to control the spectral nature of the noise profile. In this manner you can more precisely define what is a noise and what is program material.

Knee control lets you adjust the angle of the knee to smooth or sharpen reduction dynamics.
