Looking for opinions on denoise/declick plugins for Sonar
Hi team, I'm on the hunt for a plugin or two for removing noise and clicks. I used to use the noise removal tool in a very old version of Audition, but it doen't seem to want to play nice with Sonar anymore. I have done a bit of a search, and so far the best looking option seems to be Acon Digital Resteration Suite. At $99 it seams to be reasonably priced. Any of you have any products you'd recommend for use with Sonar X3? Any hits or misses to report? In regard to the de-noise plugin, I am looking for the type that lets you take a noise print from a section of audio with only the noise and then use that noise print to remove noise from the whole track. I think these the the most transparent and effective. Anyone who's already travelled the path I am about to embark on, please chime in. Thanks!

I just bought Izotope RX3 on a sale (250), I don't know if that's still going, but it honestly blew me away with the quality even though I already had the Waves Restoration Suite. Seriously high class product that I would recommend. The advanced version was too expensive for me and its specialized extra options didn't seem very necessary to me.

+1 to Izotope RX3: I've used it to clean up everything from pre-amp hiss to traffic noise to generator noise for movie dialog . And not an "in the distance" generator, either, but quite literally "just around the corner from the actors". If you do that sort of thing (which I do) the price is worth every penny, especially if it keeps from having to have to redo or ADR a scene.

Which version of Audition are you using and what no longer plays well with SONAR? I have been using Audition 4 (from CS 5.5) a lot by launching it from inside X3 for this functionality without issue.
ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.

I used RX3 to clean up 30 year old home tape recordings of my parents talking to me in my youth. They were almost unintelligible before and with very little effort (everything on "automatic" mode) I got them almost entirely clean. With a little more effort I'm sure I could do even better but it did a LOT better in like fifteen minutes than I had done in the hours before using the Waves stuff.

Without a doubt - RX3. I have Sony Sound Forge 11 with Noise Reduction, and RX3 Advanced, both of which have the "noise print" feature. For the longest time I used Sound Forge (since 4.5) but ever since RX arrived, it's been my go to for any noise reduction and "spectral repair". I followed Scott Garrigus' article for integrating them into Sonar's Tool Menu: http://www.digifreq.com/digifreq/article.asp?ID=2This allows you to select a clip within Sonar, export it to and edit it in RX, and when finished, Sonar updates the file in your project. Pretty slick! MG

Another vote for iZotope RX3. I have it and use it often to clean things up.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Sounds like I will be saving my pennies for RX3.

Your mileage may vary, but don't get tricked into thinking that you'll need the advanced version for better sound quality or something. The basic version is already a very powerful product.
