Free spectral noise reduction for steady background noise like hiss and hum. Three faders: Clean sets the amount, Focus protects tonal detail and Mix blends in the dry signal. It is not a vocal separator or click remover, and the standalone plays files but does not export. VST3, AU and standalone, Apple Silicon Macs only (macOS 13+); the download needs a free SL Hub account.
