Sometimes when transferring from cassette to my Recording Studio, Sonar 4, I have some white noise that I can't seem to get rid of. I've looked all through Sonar and it doesn't have a de-esser etc. What program or plugins do you recording guys use. Thanks Eddie

Eddie, can you highlight the area in question and insert silence?

Hi Bent...thanks for the reply. I've looked at that in Sonar 4 but for some reason mine is grayed out. I'm running Sonar 4 Studio Edition..Any other suggestions...........Eddie

Spitfish is a good free de-esser VST. You can find it and some other great free plug-ins here.

Are you talking about hiss off the cassette tape? If so, a de-esser is not really the right tool for the job, does Sonar have some kind of broadband noise reduction plugin?

I don't know these plugs, but you might try a demo:

Thanks Will, and Chris for the links. I'll try them out.

Yes Chris, I'm talking out the hiss from a cassette. What program do you use, or suggest for that type of situation..
I always used a de-esser in my old studio, Magix, and it seemed to work ok for that type of problem.... Eddie

I've done some big cassette to CD transfer projects, so I made the investment in Waves X-Noise, expensive, but very good.

There's also Bias Sound Soap which is $99 at Sweetwater, supposed to be good, but I can't say I've used it.

Goldwave from Goldwave.com has an excellent noise reduction plug that I use all the time for this sort of thing. There is a free demo version that'll work for a month or so depending on how much you use it. All you need to do is select a region of audio that contains the noise (can be as little as a fraction of a second) and copy it and then run the noise reduction plug--cleans up real nice.
