Unwanted background noise is something that almost all of us have had to deal with. If you’ve ever recording the perfect vocal take in your apartment and then realized that the refrigerator was running the entire time, you’ll know the frustration that can cause.
That’s why we created the Dialogue De-noise plug-in, available in both RX Plug-in Pack and RX Audio Editor.
