Yes, Cool Edit was kind of "the holy graal" for audio restoration under Window OS. Nice that it is still alive in Audition! Today I have the GRM-Tools plugins on a Mac that offer a similar "noisy audio cleaning" functionality. I've also been using the Waves Restoration suite a couple of times. All these are file cleaning stuff that you apply to recorded file as "sample editing" or "post processing". Logic has a noise cleaning plugin but it is quite bad, works better as "weird noise effect" ;-) Makes audio sway and bubble like under-water sound. Myself I rarely use those tools today, since they all color the sound in some way. What I do instead to clean up recorded audio is to automate EQ in the mixing process. I might dial in only a narrow EQ band to become active for adjusting only these frequencies forexactly about the time the noise disturbance exists in the recorded material. This is a lot of work but quite fun - I also like to sweep narrow frequency bands up and down just "as effect", a subtle way to make a recording come alive. There are plugins that do this too (GRM) and it is one of the most used techniques in Metasynth. Just another related thought I found interesting to throw in here... :-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se www.perboysen.com www.looproom.com internet music hub On Sat, Jun 18, 2011 at 12:28 PM, andy butler <akbutler@tiscali.co.uk> wrote: > For noise reduction Adobe Audition is the precision tool. > (aka Cool Edit, which may still be around in some form, but pc only). > > > > > --In "arrangement view", Copy/paste portions of audio files across > a workspace in an arbitrary manner > (where I can decide whether or not they sync up with the existing > tracks). > > Audition's perfect for that too. > > ...but it's not intended for live use, I don't even know if it would > be practical to host a looping plugin with it in a live situation. > > However, I think the rest of your requirements would be met by > using Mobius as a standalone.
