A selection of Cube-Tec's powerful restoration Virtual Precision Instruments (VPIs) are now available for Pro Tools™. The DeBuzz, Spectral DeHiss Expert, DeScratcher and DeCrackler tools were previously available exclusively for Cube-Tec's AudioCube, QUADRIGA and DOBBIN systems.

We installed Cube-Tec VPI's on our Pro Tools HD system and I can summarize my opinion of them in one sentence: They're the best thing to happen to noise reduction since the CAT 43

As engineer for the Grateful Dead, I use several noise reduction plug-ins to deal with the problems of older analog masters. Recently, I had a particularly difficult problem to solve…drumtracks recorded 20 db down in the mud. I was given a demo of SpectralDeHiss Expert for Pro Tools by Jeff Briss at Cutting Edge Audio. After I received a brief overview of operation, I was able to remove more hiss and leave more ambiance than I could with any of my other noise removal systems. I now turn to SpectralDeHiss regularly when I have a severe hiss problem.

At Buttons Sound we specialize in audio post for television, radio and film - including HDTV and 5.1 cinema mixing, so we encounter a wide variety of noise problems and are expected to provide solutions. A recent 30 episode TV project for a major production company presented us with some very challenging RF mic noise problems. After trying everything in our extensive arsenal of Pro Tools plugins, we turned to Cube-Tec's DeBuzz which we had recently purchased. It not only completely removed the RF noise - it did so without artifacts, and without sucking the life out of the track. We then utilized Cube-Tec's SpectralDeHiss tool to remove ambient noise from outdoor scenes with equal success.
