Repair Studio Finds The Problems For You

Analyze a recording and Repair Studio marks clicks, hum, clipped peaks, harsh sibilance and breaths. Enable the modules you need, compare dry and wet, then commit.

  • De-click, De-hum, De-clip, De-ess, De-breath
  • Automatic detection with marked problem spots
  • Dry/wet comparison before you apply
  • RNNoise-based voice noise reduction

Spectral editing

See The Noise. Select It. Remove It.

Some problems are invisible on a waveform. In the spectrogram a cough, a phone ring or a squeak stands out by frequency. Draw a box around it and attenuate it by 12 or 24 dB, or cut it out.

  • Box selection in time and frequency
  • Attenuate −12 dB, −24 dB or cut
  • Spectrum and frequency analysis
  • Tempo and BPM detection

Answers From The Help Center

Detailed guides written for this version

What can I do without registering?

Everything except non-WAV export. Recording, editing, Repair Studio, spectral editing, effects, multitrack mixing, projects and WAV export all work without a key. Registration unlocks MP3, FLAC, AAC/M4A, OGG, Opus and the other delivery formats.

How much does a license cost?

A Personal license is $29.95 and a Business license is $49.95. Both unlock the same features; Business adds priority support and covers commercial use. A site license is available for organizations.

Is there a time limit on the free edition?

No. The free edition does not expire. You can edit and save WAV files for as long as you like and register only when you need other export formats.

Can it restore old vinyl and cassette recordings?

Yes. Record the turntable or deck through your sound card, then use De-click, De-hum, Noise Reduction and the spectrogram to clean the transfer. Split by Silence cuts a full side into separate tracks.

Does Sound Editor Pro support VST plugins or MIDI?

No. It is a dedicated audio editor with built-in processing. It does not host VST plugins, sequence MIDI or edit video.

Which Windows versions are supported?
