Sonnox Restore

it looks to do sophisticated job, so is the interface, although the interface seems to be possible to conquer.

These are the only plugins in your line up that desperately need upgrading to modern standards. Sadly they are so far behind e.g. Izotope in terms of results that I haven't even loaded one up to actually use in a project in years:( In a recent shootout at the well known site pro-tools expert, they came dead last in every category. What's worse is that I was able to pick them out in every blind test in that shootout, without looking once until I checked results at the very end, as they had the poorest audible processing by a landslide, and they are still SO expensive! It really is a shame as they besmirch the otherwise almost perfect Sonnox plugin name. I really hope you consider bringing them up to the quality of your other plugins, which are all excellent. The dynamics, for example (so underrated) and inflator remain my secret weapons to this day.

BTW just to clarify further, the declicker is actually quite good, it's the denoiser and the de hum that are really poor. Sorry guys they just are and I mean no offence. The only use I have for the denoiser these days is because it can work without taking a noise print where most others can't, so for some light noise it can be useful to clean up certain recordings, like a bit of hiss from a synth recording for example. So I don't deny that, but for serious de noising and de hissing it's just terrible, and the de buzzer is, well, useless. I feel awful saying it as I use your other plugins so often, and for what I paid for these, I really would love to get more use out of them, but I hope you take this criticism in the spirit it was intended (i.e. constructive and truly sincere) and improve the algorithms. If you do release updates, make sure not to forget your loyal users and offer good update prices! Cheers!

@@sonnoxplugins The only thing I can suggest for now is to look up the pro tools expert denoiser shoot out for yourselves. Unfortunately I can not post a link in KZbin comments as it gets auto deleted. It's called the premium noise reduction shootout from 2022. That will give you some idea. Also, just in case the testers were not being fair, I ripped the dry files myself from the site and tried and got equally poor results, and I spent an hour with just the denoiser on one file trying everything I could think of. If you'd like to pass this on to support it would be appreciated. Thanks for the recent sale, I finally got drum gate, voca, listen hub and codec toolbox. Now only enveloper and EQ remain, but I have both of those on UAD so that's why I haven't needed the native versions. I was still tempted though but I have plenty of UAD DSP so I was able to resist. Take care!
