Restoration from Waves is an all-in-one audio repair suite for cleaning up damaged or noisy recordings. It combines five specialized tools: X-Click removes clicks and spikes, from vinyl surface noise to digital clocking artifacts; X-Crackle tackles low-level crackle and surface noise; X-Hum eliminates hum; X-Noise reduces tape hiss and constant background noise; and Z-Noise profiles unwanted sound for surgical removal. Each processor offers spectral displays and meters so you can see exactly what’s being attenuated, plus learn modes that automatically identify problem frequencies. Use it to revive old vinyl and shellac, rescue field recordings, repair film and TV soundtracks, or prep audio for podcasts and remixes. It’s ideal for hobby producers, archivists, and post-production editors working with imperfect source material. The suite works as a cohesive toolkit, letting you chain processors to restore clarity without artifacts. Whether you’re digitizing a record collection or fixing a noisy interview, Restoration gives you the control to clean audio while preserving its character.
