1. Overview

Introduction

Sound Laundry™

 

TerraTec Edition

 is a powerful tool for cleaning up problematic and historic

recordings directly on your PC. It helps you remove or significantly reduce unwanted audio,
maintaining authentic sound with almost no degradation of its original quality.

 

Sound Laundry™

 

TerraTec Edition

 is an ideal enhancement for audio editing and CD

recording programs, especially, if you are in interested in transferring all your treasures from
tape, vinyl or even shellac records to CD using 

TerraTec

 PhonoAmp

. The 

Sound Laundry™

TerraTec Edition

 offers almost full functionality comparing to our 

Sound Laundry 

Compact

 

 .

It was developed especially for the multi-media user who does not want to spend hours
learning complicated processing procedures, as well as the meanings and uses of the never-
ending parameter adjustments needed by other professional software. Both processing
modules, 

Descratcher

 and 

Denoiser

 require setting up only two parameters for optimization,

usually within a few seconds. You can easily do this during real-time playback. In addition,
you can adjust the volume and the timbre (bass/treble) of the cleaned output signal.

Features:

·

 

real-time operation with 166 MHz MMX Pentium under Windows® 95/98/Me/NT/2000

·

 

high stability because of stand-alone operation

·

 

44.1 kHz / 16 bit ”red book” WAV format accepted

·

 

the world’s fastest off-line processing

·

 

easy, intuitive interface

·

 

remove transient noises like clicks, spikes, static discharge, crackles, pops, surface noise

·

 

reduce constant background noise like hiss, hum, and thyristor buzz

·

 

soften digital distortion and mask drop-outs

·

 

real-time preview while fine-tuning the parameters

·

 

unique difference function for monitoring the noise being removed

·

 

all calculations with up to 80-bit floating-point accuracy

Typical Applications:

·

 

archiving and restoration of historic audio materials

·

 

remastering old recordings to CD: shellac, vinyl, tape

·

 

removing noise from demos recorded onto cassette decks
