CEDAR Audio CP Restore - Plugin Bundle for Pyramix 64

CEDAR for Pyramix 64 comprises six advanced modules that allow users to eliminate a wide range of common problems and significantly improve the sound quality of their audio. Each process within these has been derived from our multi-award-winning CEDAR Studio and CEDAR Cambridge flagships, and provides unsurpassed results, quickly, and with the minimum of fuss and user intervention.

Auto and Manual Declick
With both manual declick and auto declick capabilities, CEDAR for Pyramix 64 performs at high speed without sacrificing CEDAR quality, and addresses the widest possible range of scratch and click removal problems.

Auto declick incorporates a better impulsive noise detection and a better interpolator than any previous declicker available for Pyramix. This results in superior performance across a wider range of material than ever before. Indeed, this performance is so good that, in most cases, it's not possible to hear that the signal was damaged prior to restoration.

Auto Decrackle
Based upon the technology that underpinned the renowned CEDAR CR-1 and its award-winning successors, Auto decrackle boasts a remarkable ability to dig into a damaged signal to identify and remove all manner of ground-in and grungy crackle without damaging the wanted audio. It also removes some forms of buzz and some amplitude distortions from material ranging from cylinder recordings to current broadcasts contaminated with lighting buzz.

It's amazingly simple to operate and as applicable to film soundtrack restoration and broadcast as it is to traditional audio restoration jobs such as CD and DVD remastering.

Auto Dehiss
Many plug-in dehissers are prone to side-effects known as twittering and glugging. Auto dehiss embodies an advanced algorithm that enables the software to determine the broadband noise content and remove it without the introduction of those artefacts or other unwanted side-effects. A manual mode is also offered for fine-tuning the results when wanted.

Remarkably simple to use, Auto dehiss is nonetheless a fully-featured package for cleaning up audio for post, CD and DVD mastering, soundtrack restoration, broadcast, and sound archives.

Dethump
Thumps can last for many hundreds of milliseconds, so conventional declicking processes are unsuitable for restoring audio containing them. Furthermore, the spectral content of thumps will usually overlap the genuine signal, so simple high-pass or band-reject filters cannot remove them without damaging the wanted audio.

Dethump uses the data in and around the damaged signal to build up a picture of what the low frequency data should have been had the thump not occurred. The process then replaces the thump with restored low frequency audio, leaving the undamaged high frequency audio unaffected. This makes dethump ideal for removing many of the previously intractable problems associated with optical soundtracks, as well as for restoring damaged cylinders and discs, and for cleaning modern recordings when, for example, microphones and stands are bumped. No other process can analyse and restore damaged signal of up to 100,000 samples duration.
